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.
With my short affiliation, I am so impressed with this host agency, great support and communications. I have barely cleared the surface of all the training and general resources they have available as well. I look forward to many years together.
Hi Kay!
Thank you so much for the great review. We know how important it is for an independent agent to have the help and support they need. We love communicating with our agents.
Cheers to many more years to come!
I signed up with Travel Quest Network for my host agency the end of 2019. Traveling has been a huge passion of mine for a long time and I figured what better way to indulge my passion than to dive in and become a Travel Agent. Although at this time, this is not full time for me, I hope one day it will be. Travel Quest has an enormous amount of training, information, vendors and a great support team. I have been able to learn at my own pace and whenever I need assistance, Travel Quest has been there! The community of Travel Agents that I have been able to connect with has been invaluable in learning the in and outs. I would highly recommend them as your host agency!!
Hi Carrie! Thank you so much for the great review.
I started in travel in 1994, part-time with the same goal as you. Same goal as a matter of fact that so many of our members have had as well.
Setting a goal is 1/2 the way to achieving it. I look forward to watching you grow your business

I decided I wanted to be a Travel Advisor and joined Travel Quest Network in December 2014. I have an MBA, worked for over 12 years in upper management at 2 major hotel chains and later at a phone company. Also, I was an Accounting Consultant. Therefore, when I was looking for a Host Agency, I wanted a company with professionalism, excellent ethical standards, top suppliers, training and development. With this help I was able start Yam Travel Corporation and excelled in my own business. I have earned many specialist certifications which enabled me to learn about many destinations.
Hi Yamonee, this is way delayed, but Thank You So VERY MUCH for your review. Every time I see you, you are a bundle of energy and ideas.

Travel Quest has helped me start my own Travel Agency. They are so great and are always there to answer questions. I love how many ways I can communicate with them and they are always so helpful.
Thank you Kate for the kind words. We are so happy you choose Travel Quest Network!
When I began two years ago, I knew nothing about the travel industry. I was constantly on the phone or emailing. From the start, I've felt that I was part of the Travel Quest team and that the staff was happy to answer my questions. I have often asked for suggestions or recommendations and the staff has always been very supportive. Selecting a host agency is a difficult and very personal decision. I spent a lot of time researching and comparing agencies and I'm very happy that I chose Travel Quest. Looking forward to being able to MEET the staff at Travel Quest World this fall!
Teresa,
We are happy that you decided on Travel Quest Network as your host agency. We appreciate the kind words and are happy we can help. We can't wait to meet you at Travel Quest World! It's going to be so much fun!
Last year, when I decided to start my own agency, I talked to many host agencies. I followed the "how to find a host plan" from host agency reviews and it worked. I decided that I really wanted to find a host based in the Midwest so that I could have contact with local area BDMS who oversea the area where my agency is located. I have known many of them for several years. So many of the host agencies are based out of Florida and California.
I also wanted a host that was easy to talk to and reach. When I talked with the TQ staff, I felt very welcome and I felt their interest in me. Every time I contact TQ support to get set up with a supplier or to ask a question, they get back to me in a timely manner.
I also liked the fact that they were affiliated with Travel Leaders. I talked with Travel Leaders at a seminar, but I was not a big enough agency to work with them directly.
Since I joined them over six months ago, I have been very pleased. All questions are answered promptly and you feel that they really want you to succeed with your business.
I need to get my facebook account set up yet, but they have a very good forum on their agent site where questions can be asked of other agents. Every agent I have talked to online or at TQ's conference last fall have been very helpful and supportive about my business.
I think I picked the perfect host agency for me.
Hi Cheryl,
It's kind agents like you that make Travel Quest a great host agency. We pride ourselves on customer service and working with the agents to help them succeed. Thank you for the great feedback!
I just started with TQ the beginning of the year and I'm still in beginning stages but I have booked my first client a group of 4 to a all inclusive resort in Montego Bay. TQ was the first and only HA I interviewed for and they answered all my questions and I would email them back and forth on any questions I had and they responded with in 24hours....I did the research before doing the interview I wrote down 6 HA but out of the 6, only TQ had everything I wanted on top of the great interview I had with them. With the FB support group and the emails coming in I'm never out of the loop on what's goin or deals from suppliers & venders
Thanks so much Daniel!
We believe that your success is our success, and what better way to build a successful network than with GREAT support. Have a wonderful day. It's snowing like heck here in Minnesota. We just broke the record for the snowiest February ever.
See ya,

Karen,
You are so kind. We appreciate agents like you!
I cant say enough about what a great group of people to work for! I started in 2008 not knowing much about the travel business. Travel Quest has wonderful support and resources. They always got back to me with in the same day. Travel Quest has so many agents to reach out to that really no question goes unanswered. They make you feel like you are part of a large family.
Thanks so much Travel Quest!!
