Accepted Answer

Thank you for your interest Thom.  At this time, YTC works with US-based independent contractors.  Thank you.

Question 2

Does YTC offer Code or other web support for directing visitors from my site to affiliate sites?

Accepted Answer

YTC will assist Independent Contractors with web design, building web traffic, and general support with one exception.  YTC does not support online booking engines for the general public.

Question 3

What is the cost to sign up with your agency?

Accepted Answer

We do not have a "start-up" fee and all of our services are a la carte, meaning you only pay for the services you choose.  For example, GDS trained agents pay a small annual fee for GDS access, etc.   A background check (paid for by the candidate) is required and is refunded to the candidate if certain sales goals are achieved within the first year.

Question 4

Are you accepting new to the industry travel advisors at this point?

Accepted Answer

As a host agency we are best suited for the experienced travel advisor, offering a wide variety of products, software, suppliers and freedom to run your own business.  For those new to the industry, however, we highly recommend enrollment in a travel class to learn the basics and then working with a host agency that focuses on new-to-the industry individuals.  There are many PATH (Professional Association of Travel Hosts) members that focus on new-to-the-industry and we recommend you check out those host agencies.

Question 5

For someone that wants to start their own agency, how does your company assist and  can they be considered a Partner Agency>

Accepted Answer

Experienced travel advisors (or existing agencies) wishing to start their own agency (or existing agencies wishing to earn more and remove some of the headaches of operating an agency) have a multitude of opportunities with Your Travel Center/Montecito Village Travel.  We recommend an in-depth conversation to review the programs available; then we outline the programs and services that we can streamline for the advisor or agency owner.  Some of the items offered include GDS, Virtuoso access, exclusive hotel programs, ARC reporting, coop marketing funds, etc.
