I've been with Travel Quest Network for almost six months now, and I have to say I am very happy with them as my host agency. I spent quite a bit of time digging through the reviews with HAR, and after attending the course for HAR, I narrowed my list down to 3 host agencies with TQN being one of them. They checked all the boxes for me, and I'm glad that I'm with them. They offer a good blend of support, while being hands off enough to let me run my business. They have lots of in person event options, trainings and their commission model is fair and easy to understand. The best part of them I feel, is that they are constantly upgrading their platform. Whether its the CRM, Itinerary builder, suppliers or trainings, it feels like they're trying to get better and better every month. The facebook groups, connections, and chats also enhance the experience for new travel agencies. I'm very happy that I chose them and can't wait to see what new things they'll keep rolling out in the future.
Travel Quest and the Travel Quest support team have been awesome! They are super helpful and very polite. When I decided to go on my own, I wanted a host agency that supported me. Travel Quest certainly has!
Thank you for taking the time to review our agency Jessica! You are such a joy to work with as well!
I am new to the travel industry and chose Travel Quest because they are a family oriented business. On my numerous calls to them, they have responded with compassion, confidence, and completely answered all of my many questions. I look forward to learning all I can to provide excellent service to my clients! So happy to have that "Ace in my Pocket": Travel Quest!
Tricia! What a compliment to be an "Ace" in your pocket. I was new...back in 94 just like you. Mom of 4 kids, wife, never traveled...but with help from a couple truly wonderful women in travel at the time Melody & Lori ....I had not one but TWO "aces" in my pocket.
Have a wonderful Thursday!
Bonnie
I have been in the travel industry for over 17 years now, and have been with Travel Quest for most of that time. This is more like a family- they know each individual agent, and truly care about your business and your success. Whether you are a new agent just getting started in the business (they have training for you) or a seasoned agent who knows the business well- there is a program for you. If you are looking for a host agency- do yourself a favor and start here. You won't regret it.
Hi Pam, WOW! 17 years.....that's crazy. Time sure flies when we are having fun. Your personality is such a joy to be around, and such an inspiration to watch as your business has grown. Thank you for your sunny personality and for being an inspiration to anyone wanting to start and build their travel business!
Take Care,
Bonnie
I have been in this industry just over a year and Travel Quest has helped me in so many ways. The support they offer their agents is second to none. From the start I always felt that I could reach out when I needed help whether it was submitting an invoice, technical support, or even just where to turn for answers to any questions that came up. There are so many opportunities for training through TQ. I love any chance I get to connect with Bonnie and Walt Lee. The vast knowledge they bring to the industry and their contagious energy is always so uplifting. I am so happy to have joined the Travel Quest family!
Joan! It's always great to connect with you as well. I believe that so much of my knowledge comes from conversations with agents like you. It kind of works like this, you ask me something or we are just talking about something and suddenly I am pointed to a place where I can learn something new! See ya soon, Bonnie
I would recommend Travel Quest to anyone, new or experienced, who is looking for a professional and personable host agency. TQ staff members are super responsive, know the business inside and out, and are respected by suppliers. Plus, everyone is just so nice! I cannot say enough good things about Travel Quest. The TQ National Meeting is also a wonderful opportunity to network and learn.
Hi Christina! It was great to meet you at #TQNM17. It is always so incredible to see how many agents take the time to grow their business and learn more by coming to our national meeting. In the days prior to the meeting as I watch the use of our hash tag reflect agents heading to Minneapolis by planes, trains and automobiles for our event it's so exciting...and in the same breath humbling...
Thank you for your trust and support,
bonnie
I have been with Travel Quest for almost 10 years now, WOW 10 years with this amazing company. The Professionalism & Outstanding support is way beyond the 5 star rating i was able to give. I can't imagine life any different & it's only going to get better ! Onward & upward from here.
Shannon,
Thank you so much for the kind words. I am so happy I finally got to meet you in person. We have talked over the phone and via email for years. Watching your agency grow leaps and bounds has been fun. You are a important part to Travel Quest's success!
I absolutely love working with Travel Quest! They have been able to support me in any way possible and I always feel comfortable making a client booking, knowing that TQ has my back.
The network of other agents has been awesome as well!
Mousumi....I love the network as well. All of our agents are so enthusiastic about building their businesses AND help others to do the same. The phrase "your success is my success..." is soooo true at TQ!
Have a great day,
Bonnie
I am thankful each day for choosing Travel Quest as my host agency. My business would not be growing each year if it was not for Bonnie and the supportive staff of Travel Quest. They amaze me each year with the National meeting which motivates and educates me to become an even better agency than the prior year. They are always there if I have questions or concerns or know where to point me for answers. I have never felt alone since joining in 2011 because Travel Quest has taken me in as part of the family with a great support system!
Hi Shawna, I believe that the sign of a good meeting is when attendees go home excited to build their business and with a bag full of knowledge! It's been great reading the agent posts from #TQNM17 . So many with agents returning home enthused to learn more...sell more and GROW their business. It's a real privilege in life being given the opportunity to work with people like yourself and watch them grow their business!
See you next year at #TQNM18!
I have been an Independent Contractor with Travel Quest for 6 in a half years. This is where I started my business and I can't think a reason why I would ever leave. The TQ community is like a family. I didn't know it at the time, but that's exactly what I was looking for. The owner, Bonnie, knows my name and I only see her a few times a year in person. Everyone who works at TQ is so nice and always helpful as well as all the other Independent Contractors. If you are looking for a host agency that will help you along the way and has the best group of people to work with, this is it!
Heather! I remember the FAM we went on together when you were totally new to travel.....so much fun. What I find really rewarding is being given the opportunity to watch people grow their business. You are the perfect example....from brand new to successful business owner. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to a small part of your success.
See ya,
Bonnie
I have been working with Travel Quest for the past nine years, my time has flown! I do travel out of my home for fun, and that is what it is...fun! And it's been great to see how Travel Quest has really grown! It's because of it's good service and fantastic employees.
They are so helpful and friendly, that makes all the difference! The network of TQ Agents both in the office and the Independent Contractors are incredibly knowledgeable and willing to assist and share their knowledge. It has been a pleasure working with Bonnie and the entire Travel Quest family.
I just went to the National Travel Quest meeting and was so impressed with how smoothly everything ran and was extremely pleased with how much information I was able to get. I will have to take advantage of all the education that is available to me through Travel Quest!
Look forward to going to the meeting again next year!
Leona! It was so good to see you over the week-end at #TQNM17 . So much info and so many smiling faces, embracing all the new learning opportunities. Hope to see you soon. Our "social wall" was amazing!
Bonnie
