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 checked into Travel Quest upon a recommendation. When I checked out their website I immediately felt like this was a family. After talking with Angie, I was sold. TQ staff are so open and welcoming, answering any and all questions and assisting in any way possible. Their goal truly is to help you build your business and they give you the tools and information to do so. There is no pressure as they encourage you to build your business at your pace. I am so happy that I found TQ!
Valerie,
I still remember chatting with you for the first time. Our goal is truly to help agents grow their business and we stand behind this everyday. I look forward to working with you for many more years.
About four years ago, I became a part of Travel Quest. I was so nervous and had no idea what I was doing. Those nerves were quickly calmed and my knowledge immediately deepened within the first few weeks.The entire staff welcomed me and made me feel like I was a part of the family. Through emails and phone calls, the support began instantly. Everyone is readily accessible and always happy to help.
The girls in the office are my biggest cheerleaders...they take so much joy in my success. Bonnie is a fireball of intensity and motivates me every time I see her. Her knowledge and leadership are top notch and it has been a true blessing for me to be a part of this agency. And, she makes everyone feel like they're her BFF!
The national meetings are beyond helpful, are loads of fun and provide so many avenues to learn and make new connections.
I have never had any issue with this host. I read horror stories on agents boards about how they're treated, how they are not supported, how commissions are lost, etc...and I can not relate. I am a part of the best host agency, hands down!
Lysa,
Thank you for the great review! I think you have a great description of Bonnie she is a fireball and does treat everyone kindly. I am super lucky to work with agents everyday. It's fun watching your business grow and to be a part of that.
Thanks for choosing us!
Travel Quest is not just a host agency, they are a family! I love my family at TQ! Whenever I have a question, they are a quick e-mail or phone call away. Someone always has the perfect solution for whatever my dilemma may be. This atmosphere is fostered among all of the independent agents within the TQ family. As a result, we are quick to help each other with needs and knowledge.
Bonnie and Walt are actively involved along with their wonderful staff. Even as the company has grown throughout the nearly 5 years I have been with them, the atmosphere has not changed.
They are constantly making training and informational webinars available. The resources and tools that are at the tips of our fingers increase each year. Their goal is for you to succeed!
While I had some travel industry knowledge when I began this career, I started with Travel Quest with no experience as an agent. Bonnie and staff have been instrumental in my education and growth in this role!
I cannot see myself anywhere else!
Cissie,
I still remember when you first called Travel Quest I was the one to talk to you. I knew right from the first time I spoke with you that you would be a great agent and fit right in. So glad you are part of TQ. Thank you for the kind words and support.
After having a rough experience with a niche online agency, I was very discouraged to stay in the travel industry. A fellow travel agent recommended checking into Travel Quest, and it was the best day of my career to have made that effort. Travel Quest is like a family to me. They are so supportive, offer an enormous amount of resources, and do everything they can to help me be successful! I can't praise enough what a wonderful host Travel Quest has been for me.
Carrie,
You are like family to us!! I love watching your business grow and enjoy chatting with you. Thanks for being a part of Travel Quest!
I have been with Travel Quest since 2012. What I love about TQ is that they feel like family, not work. They are extraordinarily supportive in every aspect-they provide excellent training, supportive service and learning opportunities so that we have the tools to be more successful. I consider the time I spend with them like spending time with family or friends, it never feels like work! Travel Quest provides the perfect balance of work and pleasure to keep agents motivated, engaged and skilled.
Shannon has it really been that long!! LOL! We love supporting you and working with you. Thank you for the kind words and hope to see you soon.
Travel Quest is an amazing host agency. I haven't been with anyone else so I can't compare but I can definitely say that TQ is the right fit for me. The owners are extremely personable and the staff is very attentive. They will respond to every question and request very quickly. I also appreciate the free commission plan for beginner agents. Once I learned the business a bit more, I changed my plan to increase my commission. Also, their relationship with Travel Leaders gives me more exposure and credibility to potential clients. I can't say enough good things about the company. If you're considering them as your host...look no further! You will not be disappointed.
Akua,
I am so excited that you are part of Travel Quest. Thank you for the kind words. We are excited to watch your business grow.
Travel Quest is just wonderful! A year ago I started my travel agency, Zetting Travel. I did my research and ended up choosing Travel Quest and I could not be happier! The team is so wonderful and all of the tools they have available are so great and helpful. Support is timely and knowledgeable and the TQ community is incredible. Any question you might have can more than likely be answered by someone in the TQ community; you're never alone. Additionally, commissions are fair and well tiered based on your agency/needs. If you're experienced or just starting out, Travel Quest should top your list for a host agency!
Hi Zachary,
I am so glad you found us! I agree the TQ community is amazing. There seems to be someone always awake to answer questions. It's nice to know that at 2am....when I am sleeping the community is awake and thriving.
The power of everyone working together to achieve those high tier commissions is awesome. TQ is a perfect example of the power of 1 makes everyone stronger.
Have a great day,
Bonnie
I have been with Travel Quest since August 2017. I had actually started reviewing Host Agencies on this website for months before I selected Travel Quest. I clicked on Travel Quest's website and I felt an instant connection. I can't explain why. Briefly,I stopped my host search for a few months and then I received an email from Host Agency Reviews spotlighting Travel Quest and that they were having an annual conference. I knew that it was meant for me to explore this opportunity. I called and immediately knew that I wanted to be a part of this organization. I truly appreciate the expertise and support that Travel Quest provides especially since I am new to the travel industry. The Staff at Travel Quest are champions for their travel agents and I feel supported and appreciated. The leadership of this agency is personable and down to earth.
I want to publicly thank Travel Quest for putting up with my questions and concerns. I appreciate Travel Quest dearly and I look forward having a long lasting working and collaborative relationship.
Hi Nathalia! I so remember meeting you at #TQNM17 . I say it over and over again, but the best part of my job is meeting agents. I draw so much "life" from their energy, and wow...do you have energy! It's people like you who make it fun and rewarding to go to work every day. See you in September...we will have lots to talk about!
Bonnie
I was in the corporate travel world for 9 years before signing on with Travel Quest in 2017. I was very nervous about going out on my own and having to learn so many new things independently. I did a lot of research and spoke with several host companies before signing on with TQ. The commission structure plans and the support I get from not only TQ Admin, but other TQ agents has been nothing short of amazing. It is a great team to be a part of and I am so happy that I kept looking at Host Companies until I found the absolute right one for me. I have exceeded my own sales goals for my first year and I attribute that to the support I get from the TQ team. There are a lot of host options and it can be very overwhelming. I am very thankful I chose this one.
Sarah, we are super happy you chose us as well! What a great accomplishment to have exceeded your goals, a true testament to YOUR efforts. I am a firm believer that no host agency is the perfect fit for all agents, but am truly delighted that we were the fit for you! Take care...and congrats on exceeding your goals!
Bonnie
I will have been with Travel Quest as my host agency for a year this coming July and I can not explain how amazing Bonnie and her team have been. I receive help and support when I need it, I get an interactive social media networking Facebook group with them,their portal has just about everything you would ever need to be a successful travel agent and their yearly conference is outstanding. I couldn't be more happy with a host agency than with Travel Quest.
Tyson, we are excited to have you...I love our Facebook closed group, though it does make me wonder if some agents ever sleep! See at Travel Quest National Meeting in September again.
Bonnie
