Here's why Travel Agent Pro Members
love our host agency

Jane Smith
Sarah Kinard

"As a newer, part-time, travel agent, the hands-on approach that they entire team, takes in setting the agents up for success is refreshing. Our previous host agency dropped you in the deep end and hoped you could succeed on your own. TAP is accessible for questions, takes agent feedback into consideration when building tools and partnerships, and the community is generous with support and information. TAP is collaborative, supportive, and engaging as a host agency."

Jane Smith
Mary Reconnu

"I can't say enough wonderful things about TAP and the staff. Unfortunately my previous host passed away suddenly and I found myself in need of a new host agency quickly. They stepped up and helped me navigate all of the details in making the switch. It was overwhelming and she really put her years of industry experience to work for me and to help make it as smooth of a transition as possible."
