As a member of the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco we have reciprocal privileges to use the NYYC club (and Vice Versa) when we're are traveling. This goes for the NYYC Harbor Court station in Newport, RI. Our Commodore was having his "Commodore Cruise" in New England and the closing dinner was to be at Harbor Court. Now, with COVID there was a limit on guests amd total crowd for a dinner. We had over 100 cruising ew England and over 80 were due for the final dinner. Add Henri the hurricane to the mix and we had some challenges for the dinner. We had cocktails on the front lawn. Then, the NYYC set is up outside in the motor court area for dinner. This allowed us to get our entire group together. Weather was perfect. Calm Before the storm as they say. We even had the opportunity to watch the clubs "colors" ceremony when they retreat the flag each evening prior to sunset. Now getting to the food and service. With COVID it is especially hard to find amd keep good servers. We struggle with that at our club. It here at the NYYC. First they had plenty of staff. A welcome reprise from those businesses who can't seem to ramp staff back up. Even more impressive, their staff are trained very well. Women first, serve from left, remove from Right etc... I was thoroughly impressed that during COVID, and the night before a major hurricane, the NYYC was able to host the dinner for the StFYC and do so at such a best-of-class level. If you have a chance to visit Harbor Court, don't miss it!

Motor court entrance to NYYC's Harbor Court. We had our dinner outside last night.

I recently came for a cocktail with some co-workers. The grounds and views are stunning. If you are ever so fortunate as to accept an invitation from a member please come for a visit! Our waitress was kind and attentive. She took everyone's drink orders quickly and our orders were correct. (I did have to describe what was in a Cape Codder though). Lovely location, great to soak in a beautiful summer day. We may get to enjoy a dinner here in the future and I look forward to updating my review.

For all of the New York Affluent Yacht owners, now you can add a club of your own to accommodate all of your guest that are fine wine lovers. This is an amazing opportunity to have a supply of the best curated fine wines from Napa and Sonoma region, delivered directly to your Dock. To learn more about this opportunity visit http://1f89.com/wine-delivered-to-your-yacht/ or call 1-480-788-5051

Gorgeous venue, with arguably the best views in town. Delicious, fresh, and high quality food. The menu is generally not very large, but offers a good selection of choices. The venue has different events, and menu changes each day - sometimes there are buffets. The service is courteous, although registering when walking in can be lengthy. The outdoor patio and lounge chairs area is very enjoyable. Lunches tend to be less busy and more peaceful. Dinners can get crowded and loud with many visitors who come to watch the sunset. The boat water parking is located right below.

I had the opportunity to enjoy this fine establishment for my brother-in-law's naval change of command ceremony dinner. The grounds of the club are beautiful and meticulously maintained. All the staff are gracious and welcoming - the bartenders even kept an eye on my nephews during some dull dinner moments. Cocktails served on the patio overlooking the harbor with a beautiful (and STEEP!) grassy hill down to the water really set the mood for a nice evening. The formal dinner was chicken, leeks and some sort of grain - all very good and well prepared. Service was impeccable. Even though I'm not exactly your "yacht club" type o' gal, I'd definitely say I'm a fan of this place :)

Spectacular wedding venue! Staff was helpful and kind, food was delicious and perfectly cooked.

View of the boat house where the wedding took place. Absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful place to have an event. The staff is wonderful and the food is magnificent. As a sailor myself it's one of the places I love to go to. The view from the hill is amazing. I never get tired of it.

An exquisite venue on Newport Harbor. I've attended several weddings and social events at this venerable Rhode Island private establishment. Members may extend privileges to friends who can take advantage of the lovely lodging or the bar and dining facilities. You can't go wrong paying a visit to Harbor Court. Remember: no cell phones in club public areas!

Great lobster roll. Fresh and good volume. Friendly service but slow. Not much dessert menu. Coffee taste nice.

The Scoop on Host Travel Agencies

Partner with a Host with the Most

When you make a host travel agencies comparison, it’s easy to see that here at TPI, we’ve got it going on. Our level of support, unparalleled technology, family atmosphere, fun vibe, and our supplier connections, make us the top choice in host travel agencies. We have over 5,000 Rockstar agents who love what they do and make more money than if they were operating alone.

Why Not Just Partner with a Consortia Myself?

Consortias are awesome, but why limit yourself to only having one course of growing your business. Today’s Travel Host Agency operates like a mini-consortia with the benefits of having an entire team behind you.

What About an MLM? Why Don’t I Just Go That Route?

Belonging to a multi-level-marketing travel agency group may sound enticing, but you don’t get a whole lot in return for all your hard work. You pretty much just get to be a part of a group and don’t get the support and technology we offer at TPI.

Rockstar Success Stories

I started my career like many others, with big dreams and a passion for travel. I opened my business in 2010 as an independent agent — working on my own trying to take on the world. After finding a mentor in the industry, I was introduced to the idea of host agencies. I worked with several host agencies over the years, but joining TPI in 2012 was the best move for my business.

The Comprehensive Guide to Joining a Host Agency

Have you ever imagined a professional life with the flexibility of working as you travel, coupled with the opportunity to assist clients to plan their dream vacations? Welcome to the world of travel agencies! However, jumping into an independent travel business can be daunting. That's where a host agency like Gateway Travel, steps in. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll discuss the ins and outs of a host agency and the myriad of benefits you can expect when you decide to join a host agency .

Host Agency Overview: What is it all about?

A host agency is a conglomerate offering support and resources to independent travel agents or agencies — typically in exchange for a part of their commission or a fee. When you align yourself with a host agency, you’re not an employee, but an individual agent operating your own business under their umbrella. This arrangement bestows upon you the freedom to dictate your own terms while enjoying the infrastructure, resources, and guidance of an established organization like Gateway Travel.

Benefits of Joining a Host Agency

With a comprehensive understanding of what a host agency is, let's dive into the riveting benefits of associating with one.

Advantage of Established Name and Reputation

Just starting out in the travel agency business can seem like an uphill task, with little recognition and lack of trust from suppliers and clients alike. When you join a host agency, you are associating yourself with an already well-established name in the industry. This not only adds credibility but also helps you garner trust from suppliers and clients, helping you overcome the initial hurdles faster.

Access to Industry Resources

As a solo travel agent, access to travel suppliers, technological tools, or marketing software could be expensive and time-consuming. A host agency provides you with access to a plethora of resources like operational software, training programs, marketing tools, insurance, and a vast network of travel suppliers. This aids in significantly reducing your overhead costs.

Professional Development and Mentoring

A host agency is often interested in the professional growth of their independent agents. They provide extensive training and mentorship programs to groom you, making you competitive in the field. Additionally, they keep you abreast with the latest industry trends, ensuring you’re well poised to serve your clients effectively.

Higher Commission Levels

A host agency, with its vast network and established relationships, is often able to negotiate substantially higher commission levels than an independent agent. Even after the host agency takes its cut, you're likely to earn more per sale. Moreover, the agency takes care of all the administrative responsibilities affiliated with commission tracking and payments .

Networking Opportunities

In the travel industry, networking plays a pivotal role. Connection with like-minded individuals can open the door for unprecedented opportunities and learning. A host agency constantly organizes networking events and trade shows, offering you the chance to meet experts in the industry and expand your horizons.

Why Choose Gateway Travel as your Host Agency?

Gateway Travel cherishes the individuality and entrepreneurial spirit of its agents. We believe in providing robust support to our affiliated agents through ongoing training, personalized assistance, and advanced technological tools. With a low investment cost and higher return potential, we make your journey into the travel business less intimidating and more rewarding.

Conclusion: Take the Leap Today

Joining a host agency could be the key to unlocking the world of travel professionalism. It provides a comforting layer of support and an array of resources necessary for the growth and development of your travel business. At Gateway Travel, we harbor the ambition of creating an environment to help you succeed, cultivate relationships and allow you to enjoy the business of travel. So take the leap today, and come aboard with us to create travel stories together.

Remember, your exciting journey in the travel industry is just a decision away – so why wait? Embrace the host agency benefits that await you at Gateway Travel!

Which travel host agency is best 6 things to consider when choosing a host agency..

• February 23, 2023
• Pickles Travel Network

Are you considering a career as a travel agent and thinking about getting started with a host agency? Whether you’re just starting your search or you’re deep into the host agency reviews already, there are a few important things to think about when choosing the right host for you.

Keep in mind, choosing a host agency is a personal decision, and there’s no “best” agency out there for everyone. Selecting a host will ultimately depend on where you want to go in the industry, how much support you need, and what matters most to you.

If you’re not sure what a host agency for travel agents is or if you should consider signing up with one, consider reading our post, “What is a host agency for travel agents?” before reading on. Today we’ll explore the key factors that set host agencies apart and help you select the right host agency for you!

Note, this post is meant to be informative as you choose the right travel host for you. Under each tip, we’ve included a bit about Pickles Travel Network – that’s us! To learn more, see what’s included as a PTN agent . 

1. Consider whether or not you want to operate under your own brand name when choosing a host agency.

There are two main ways to start your travel business, depending on the type of host you choose. First, you can become an agent under an existing brand, which means you’ll use their name, logo, and company image as you build your clientele. Under certain host agencies, this is required, and you’ll pay a yearly fee to essentially create a franchise under the host’s brand.

The second option is to join a host agency that lets you operate under your own brand name. You’ll still get access to the suppliers, resources, and credentials of your host, but you’ll have complete creative control over your business name, your niche, and your marketing. If creating your own brand is important to you, it’s essential to ask potential host agencies if they require you to use any of their branding or stay within any creative guidelines.

At Pickles Travel Network, agents have 100% creative freedom to build their own brands. We do not require agents to use any of our branded materials or even mention us to clients. We are a true “white label” host agency. 

2. Get familiar with the commission splits a host agency offers, and determine any requirements for higher commissions.

Every host agency offers agents their own commission splits, and there’s a huge range within the travel industry. As a general rule of thumb, you should always aim for at least a 60% commission when operating under a host agency, which means you get to keep 60% of the commission you earn.

Not only do host agencies offer various commission splits, but the requirements to access each commission split can vary as well. The most common requirement is sales thresholds. For example, you might start at a 50% commission when you sign up, but if you reach $250,000 in sales that year, you’ll be eligible for a 60% commission the following year.

Other host agencies let you choose your commission split from the time you sign up, usually with an increased signup fee or recurring flat fee. These host agencies offer the most flexibility, as you can sell as little or as much as you want to without worrying about sales quotas or delay periods for increased commissions.

At Pickles Travel Network, agents can choose between 70%, 80%, and 90% commission when they sign up. There are no sales requirements or other conditions – only flat monthly or annual payments for unlimited commissions. Commission splits are eligible to be updated once per year on the anniversary of your signup. 

3. Decide on your focus, then choose a host agency that shares values, priorities, and areas of interest with you.

Host agencies come in all varieties: those that specialize in Disney, those that are strictly for seven-figure sales agents, those that have a little bit of everything, those that have a super-involved community, and those with little personalization at all.

With all the options out there, starting by exploring every available host agency can be more confusing than it is productive. Instead, choose what’s most important to you first, then look for host agencies that fit the mold. In general, here are a few things to consider:

• Bigger host agencies (3,000+ agents) tend to have the most supplier relationships and can have better commission deals, but might offer less in terms of personalization and community support.
• Host agencies geared towards new travel agents likely have lots of training, support, and resources, but if you plan to become a seven-figure agency within a few years, you could outgrow what they have to offer.
• If you do have a specific niche in mind (ex: Disney vacations, family travel, cruising) you might want to consider a host agency that specializes in this area to best support you.
• Don’t neglect personal values. Ultimately, host agencies are made up of people, and you want to find people you resonate with and are excited to grow alongside.

Pickles Travel Network is a woman-owned travel host agency that focuses on simple, modern solutions for travel agents. We provide our 300+ agents with the tools, resources, and training they need to succeed in the travel industry, and emphasize building a supportive community of agents. Our agency structure makes it easy for new or experienced agents to start their travel businesses and scale them as quickly and immensely as they’d like. 

4. Determine if a host agency allows subagents if you plan to grow your team.

If your plan is to stay a solo travel agent long-term, you can skip this one. But if you’re even considering growing a team of travel agents in the future, it’s important to choose a host agency that will let you add subagents. Some host agencies don’t permit subagent signups, meaning if you have another agent or two you want to partner with, they will have to pay the regular startup fee, recurring fees, and won’t be able to split their commissions with you by default.

If a host agency does allow subagents, they might offer a reduced payment to enroll your subagents and will group your subagents under you when it comes time to pay commissions. This means you would be able to set your own commission rates for yourself and your team, which is crucial when working under a host. Many travel agents just getting started think they’ll want to travel solo forever, but later decide they want to expand into an agency model. If you want the flexibility to decide later, or if you’ve always envisioned growing your team, double-check that your potential host allows subagents and has a system in place for them.

At Pickles Travel Network, subagents are permitted and pay a reduced monthly or annual fee of their choosing. Subagents don’t choose their commission splits when they sign up – you as the agency owner will determine your subagents’ commission splits. 

5. Find out who a host agency is affiliated with before making your decision.

Ultimately, the travel industry is about relationships. One of the biggest perks of signing up with a host agency is getting access to their relationships with suppliers, vendors, training programs, and other tools for travel agents. It’s important to get to know who a host agency has relationships with when making your selection.

Inquire about a host agency’s suppliers, partnerships, and affiliate programs when comparing your options. You can even approach things from the other direction, and ask travel experts whose opinions you trust which hosts they recommend. Choosing the least expensive host or the host who shows up first on Google might not always be the best choice. People know people best, and as an agent of a host agency, you’re stepping into their network of relationships and taking on a piece of their reputation. Your decision matters – give it the attention it deserves.

Pickles Travel Network has partnerships, and sometimes exclusive partnerships, with many of the industry’s best. In addition to our network of suppliers and resources, we offer our agents a list of preferred partners in every area from marketing to travel education. Many of our partners offer members-only deals to Pickles Travel Network agents. 

6. Understand what you’re actually paying for when deciding if a host agency is “affordable” or “expensive.”

In the world of host agencies, there’s a wide range of signup costs, annual fees, commission splits, and pay structures. Even if one host appears “more expensive” than another, it’s worth looking into what you’re actually paying for. Some things that might be included with the cost of signing up with a host agency that every travel agent needs are…

• Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software
• Itinerary and planning software
• Errors & Omissions insurance
• Lead generation tools
• Travel agent training programs
• Membership with a travel consortia

All of these tools are essential for running a successful travel business. If they’re not included in the cost of your host agency membership, you must factor in the cost of them separately when choosing a host.

Pickles Travel Network membership includes the following tools and subscriptions for agents and subagents upon signup. 

• VacationCRM ($50/month value)
• Travefy itinerary management ($39/month value)
• Travel Leaders Network membership with lead generation (amount varies) 

Choosing the right host agency is a decision that only you can make, and can be one of the greatest decisions of your career!

The world of travel has so many incredible learning opportunities and great people to meet. We’re so excited for you to begin or further your career as a travel agent and wish you the very best of luck.

How to Choose a Host Travel Agency

Written by: Melissa on June 24, 2022

Partnering with the right host travel agency will help you and your business to be successful. If you are a new travel agent, getting started on your own can be daunting. Experienced travel agents are often concerned about how the change will affect their day-to-day processes, supplier relationships, and commission levels. How do you know which host travel agency is the best?

First of all, remember that the term “best” is subjective. What works well for one agent may not be the right fit for another. Think about the goals you have for your travel business, your own strengths and weaknesses, and which tools you will need to get started—or to keep growing. As you compare host travel agency options, research the answers to these important questions:

What am I getting for my money?

All host travel agencies will require some type of payment, whether in the form of membership fees, a commission split, or both. Understand the fees and percentages involved, but also consider what is included with each membership package so you’re not comparing apples to oranges. A basic plan may only include the ability to make travel reservations at the minimum commission percentage, while other programs include valuable benefits like a client management system , higher commission levels, and access to marketing tools .

Where is the agency located?

Using a local host agency potentially offers some geographic advantages, but many national-level agencies provide excellent support to agents across the country. Near or far, it’s important to be able to easily contact your host agency whenever you have questions or concerns. Do they offer multiple methods of communication—phone, email, live chat? Which days and hours do they offer support? If the agency’s main office isn’t located near you, do they offer local events or a regional representative in your area?

What type of travel will I sell?

If you plan to specialize in a particular type of travel—such as cruises, Disney vacations, or destination weddings—you will want a host agency that provides the tools you need for that type of business. Ask what their current commission levels are for the main suppliers in that specialty. Do they offer industry connections to help you serve that niche?

How much education is available?

For a new travel agent, understanding the basics of booking travel and how to set up your business will get you off to a great start. But travel advisors never stop learning, so a good educational program will continue to offer professional development opportunities throughout the agent journey. Even the most experienced travel agents need to stay current on booking technology, marketing trends, and product updates. Does the host agency offer educational opportunities that meet your needs, both now and in the future?

What do other agents think?

Feedback from other travel agents can help you to compare host agencies, and most are happy to share their personal experience with a particular company. Ask the host travel agency to provide references from current members. The website Host Agency Reviews offers access to agent reviews and advice on how to compare agencies to find the best fit for you.

"...The training resources are abundant as are the suppliers that Travel Quest Network has relationships with. The commission rates are top tier for all of them. Other agents have been so helpful with sharing information, making suggestions, and offering encouragement. As others have said, it really is like a family..."

"Wow, wow, wow. I can't say enough good things about TQN. I changed recently after a rough first year at a small host agency that was quite honestly a mess. I love not having to fight tooth and nail for my commissions. They pop up on time under "Commission Manager" and it's so easy to follow along. The times I've had to reach out to the team they've been SO nice and helped right away!"

"I cannot recommend them enough. I have learned so much through them, their Weekly Chat, Monthly All Call, their private FB page, and University. It's also they are connected with Travel Leaders, you have much better training and resources. I personally came from another Host, that specialized in one thing and not the thing I wanted to specialize in. Here I have found my home. OH and the CEO answers FB questions, how cool is that!!"

Best Host Travel Agencies of 2023 | HAR's Luminary Awards!

Developing the Luminary Awards in 2019 was one of HAR's spontaneous ideas rooted in celebrating the host companies who deserve recognition for their transparency, advisor support, and engagement on HAR's site in an epic way.

If you can't tell from our casual Friday Host Week attire (feat. astronaut helmets) we here at Host Agency Reviews aren't afraid to make a big display to help override the fun-o-meter. We got pretty nerdy about our awards, developing our own metric for award qualifications to give a fair shake to hosts of every size! Yes, our awards are space-themed. Yes, ANY host listed on our site qualifies for our awards!

So who were the standout host agencies in 2023?

The Best Host Agencies in 2023

Finding the perfect host is subjective. Your forever host agency may not even make a good first date for another travel advisor. Our Luminary Awards recognize host agencies that engage with the growing advisor community and support people like you to find the best host out there.

The 5 Best Host Travel Agency Award Categories

Now, onto our award categories! HAR Luminary Awards recognize hosts in four different ways:

• Supernova Award : Recognizes the hosts that received at least one new review the previous year and have an average star rating of 4+
• Nebula Award: Recognizes the hosts with a certain number of new reviews
• Constellation Award: Recognizes the host agencies that engage with readers on their Host Agency Reviews' profile (responding to questions and reviews)
• Data Scientist Award: Recognizes the host agencies with the most participation in our surveys.
• The Galaxy Award!!!! : To receive a galaxy award, a host agency needs to win in all four other categories. To be frank, it's really hard to nab this award. Sure, hosts can win some of the Luminary Awards just by being their amazing selves, but the Galaxy Award is the pinnacle of Luminary achievement.

Note: All the award data is from the host's aggregate info of the previous year (2022). To keep things super democratic, we're not going to separate them by host size (just in old school ABC order)
