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.
I have worked with TQ for the past 6 years. They have been an amazing host agency. They are always accessible, continue to bring new ideas and opportunities and have a fun
& energetic approach to the business. We wouldn't think of switching to another host agency!
Hi DeJuan,
Thank you for 6 great years with TQ!! We are so lucky to work with agents like you everyday. We work on staying on top of new ideas and look for feedback from our agents. Wishing you many more years of success!
I have worked with Travel Quest for a little over a year now and couldn't be happier. Every TQ staff member that I have worked with has been very pleasant and helpful. Jenifer is normally the associate that assists me and in my opinion she is a SUPER STAR! I look forward to working with Travel Quest in the future and would recommend them to anyone interested in the travel service industry. Thanks Bonnie for a great year - your team ROCKS!
Sincerely,
Louis
Hi Louis,
Thank you for your recognition and kind words! I always enjoy speaking with you and I look forward hearing more about your adventures experiencing and booking travel!

When I got into travel, I didn't like the idea of having a host agency in another state or where I'd never be able to "connect" with them in a personal way. Travel Quest has felt like "home" in that it's a very supportive and nurturing, yet professional, environment for travel professionals. Being a home based travel agent can be isolating and having a host agency that is local has created a sense of "community" for us home based agents both in state and out of state. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Travel Quest .l
Carmen,
Thank you for being such a big part of Travel Quest's success! We love watching your business grow!

In January I will start my 6th year with Travel Quest. I researched several companies before I decided to join. I have loved every minute since I signed up. They help set you up for success, and have many resources to guide you along. It feels like everyone is family and helps each other out.
I have been fortunate to go on a trip with Bonnie and Walt and meet them at events over the years. They are so welcoming and friendly. Bonnie has an incredible energy that is contagious. I'm excited to be part of an incredible agency.
Amy...thanks so much for the kind words. I remember the first time we actually met! In the Delta lounge in Atlanta on our way to a FAM. I saw you peeking between the flowers at the registration desk looking for Walt and I. It was a great trip filled with so much learning! Thank you so much the confidence and trust you have placed in TQ.
Now that I’m almost a year into being full-time (after 3 years of just dabbling), I wanted to take the time to give a little shout-out to the all the folks at Travel Quest for all their assistance, encouragement, and patience. There is so much to learn in this industry and so many ways to get yourself in trouble, - it can be scary and intimidating. Travel Quest has so many resources available to us, through all their online training, hosted webinars, annual national meeting, and now through their affiliation with the Travel Leaders Network. And that doesn’t even cover being able to pick up the phone to get a real-live person give you a real-time answer, or the network of super-helpful fellow travel agents that you can tap into through our internal Forum or Facebook pages.
Even when I was only working travel on a very limited basis, I received excellent support and was never made to feel that I didn’t matter because I wasn’t bringing in a lot of commission. And, even though I’m in Maryland, I don’t feel like an outsider of the Travel Quest family; however, it does take a little bit of extra effort to get involved and be included with the local supplier programs.
Travel Quest was definitely the right choice for me!"
We all started somewhere. I started with no travel industry background and NO actual travel experience (except that 1 trip to Vegas and a trip to Disney). So I know first hand how important the support is for each person t grow their business. The growth of your business is the growth of TQ's business! Thank you for your trust and kind words.
Hi!
I had a great conversation with Bonnie about meeting the client for the first time, how to prepare an invoice, commission and travel insurance. I had some questions and then I had more questions that I wasn't really sure how to form. ; P. Bonnie however was able to decipher exactly what I was trying to ask. It was a fabulous coaching session. I am already scheduled for one more because I am newer to this industry and everyday I find myself not exactly sure on the 'right' way to approach a situation.
Thank you Bonnie was your time and help.

Samantha, the coaching call we had was SUPER! My job is great because every day I get to work with like minded agents who want to grow their business through education and client expansion. You are so open to learning new things, taking classes, looking for certifications etc...truly a pleasure to talk to. Looking forward to meeting you at our National Meeting on September 9th! It's always great to put a face to a name. See you then.
I have been with Travel Quest for almost 3 years and I have nothing but praise for them! I was new to the travel industry and the training and support that I have received from them has been top notch!! You do have to take advantage of the training and be self motivated, but they do such a good job at providing the resources you need to be be successful. Bonnie and Walt and the staff are fantastic, and I really do feel a part of their "travel family." If I need anything, they are very quick to respond and help as needed. Bonnie's enthusiasm for the travel industry is so contagious! If she does not know the answer to a question, she will find out for you! I love the free Travel Leader's website that is offered, and have gotten several leads from the site. I am so excited the opportunities that have come with this industry and owe much of my success to the backing of a fantastic host agency! I will be a lifer with them!!!!
Hi Dana!
Yikes sorry I missed responding earlier...Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so passionate about travel and I can see the same passion in YOU. I honestly don't believe that any career (for me at least) could be more rewarding than travel. I've met so many wonderful people on both the agent and vendor side. I am very privileged to work with so many truly wonderful people around the globe!
Travel Quest was my first option for a host agency and after I talked to them on the phone, I knew it was going to be a great fit! I've been with Travel Quest for over 6 years now and everyone is always so helpful and kind. Bonnie and Walt are the NICEST people I've ever met and so great to be around! The agents under them are also great and I learn something new from TQ at least once a day. I would highly recommend Travel Quest to anyone! You won't be disappointed.
Hi Heather, Thank you so much for the review. It's so neat to see the rewards of desire, passion and dedication to the travel industry in you. Thank you for including all of us at TQ on your journey to success! Take Care, bonnie
When I started my agency I did a lot of research on hosts. Travel Quest was my pick and I am still pleased with the choice. The staff are friendly and ready to help with answers to questions. They offer learning opportunities and I feel they listen to us and respect us as business owners. Happy to be a part of the Travel Quest Travel Leaders group.
Thanks so much Judi. I am so glad you found us. Having been given the opportunity to watch your agency grow is soooo rewarding! Thank you for your trust.
The team at Travel Quest are absolutely spot on in what they do. We chose to partner with TQ when we first began our agency and are so pleased that we did! The resources offered by TQ to their agents to assist in positioning them for success, the team they have in place that has a special way of making everyone feel valued (and every question treated as the most important thing they have to respond to!) and most of all, the leadership that Bonnie and Walt provide are truly second to none. We are honored to partner with this incredible host agency and most of all - the amazing team that makes TQ #1 in our book!!!!
Mike,
We appreciate your kind words. It is a pleasure working with you and Chris and watching your agency grow.
