Travel Agent Chatter | Friday 15

My own brand? Multiple hosts? Choosing the right host?


Listen Later

This week for the Friday 15, Shayna co-hosts with Jennifer Dugan of Dugan’s Travels! This week we’ve got a bunch of great questions to discuss this Friday at 12 pm CST, and you know it’s gonna be good. Join us! 

  1. I don’t want to go out on my own and get an IATA and all that comes with that. But I also don’t want my host agency’s name on things like the client’s cruise documents, final travel documents, etc. I’m building my own brand that my clients know and trust, so seeing a different travel agency name at the top of their paperwork is too confusing for the clients and undermines my branding efforts. Is there a workaround for this? 
  2. If you sign with some hosts and there is no non-compete... can you also sign with another host agency in order to maintain Virtuoso benefits? I am switching from a home based agency and am curious if it’s possible to have two hosts at once. I don't want to lose my Virtuoso benefits, but a lot of the Virtuoso agencies are not a full fit for me.
  3. I am looking for a host agency and I have never had one before. I have compared a tonne on your site and I am feeling overwhelmed. What are the main things I should be looking for in a good host agency?
