  • Also called Travel Agents, Travel Advisors are travel enthusiasts who love to share their experiences or their interests and passions for travel, often inspiring others to take trips of their own. Advisors earn commissions by booking travel for the people they book for.

  • Nothing! There is no fee for booking travel through a Travel Advisor. Instead, they earn commissions directly from the vendor.

  • Yes! Imagine - Instead of comparing prices across booking websites, lining up itineraries, and finding honest answers to pressing questions, you can turn to a single travel expert for all your needs. Plus, you’ll always receive the lowest prices with our price guarantee. We believe that the personal experience is second-to-none in the industry. 

  • Your Travel Advisor protects you by never accepting cash or travel payments to PayPal or other personal accounts. Your payments always go directly to the travel supplier (hotel, cruise line, airline, etc.) or our Host Agency.

  • Travel Advisors have built vacations for travelers heading around the world, from North America and the Caribbean to South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the South Pacific. 

    Not only that, our advisors know the ins-and-outs of different travel types: caravans, lodges, cruises, land tours, luxury stays, all-inclusives, group tours and more.

  • No one likes a significant change of plans, but they're common in travel. That's why we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for every trip you book. Policies cover cancellations and will even reimburse miles or reward points if you booked with them. Be sure to ask your Travel Advisor about insurance, so they can suggest the right coverage for you. 

  • We work with all major insurance providers to provide excellent insurance policies and rates for our customers. These policies cover trip cancellation, baggage insurance, travel delays, reimbursements of miles or reward points, and trip interruption or emergency evacuation. The policies vary by location, so be sure to ask your Advisor about the specifics of your trip.

    Best part? Advisors commissions are paid by travel suppliers, not travelers.

  • Anyone with a passion for travel! Whether you‘re looking for a side gig or to build a business, our program is designed for beginners and experienced travelers alike.

  • Our program allows individuals to become Independent Travel Advisors, offering exclusive deals, earning commissions, and helping others book dream vacations all with the support of an award-winning host agency.

  • We’re proudly partnered with InteleTravel — the OG in the travel biz with over 30 years of experience supporting independent travel agents like us. They give us access to world-class training, exclusive supplier deals, and a massive network of trusted travel providers, so we can craft incredible trips with confidence and insider perks.

    We choose to have a host agency because it keeps the business affordable and accessible for individuals — no need to pay thousands upfront or be tied to the old-school model of working in a travel shop. Instead, you get to build your travel business around your life — on your terms.

    Having a Host Agency also means we’re fully accredited, have all the professional credentials, and benefit from their 24/7 live chat support, dedicated customer service, and everything else that comes with partnering with a long-standing, trusted company.

    And the best part? When you join Travel Advocates, you’re not just getting all of that — you’re getting 1-1 support, genuine hand-holding, and full access to our brand new, state-of-the-art Travel Vault — your personal hub to launch and grow your business with confidence.

  • It’s super simple — and we’ll be with you every step of the way. First, we’ll invite you to a Zoom session where you can ask questions, get a feel for the vibe, and learn exactly how it all works.

    We currently operate in the UK, USA, Caribbean, Mexico, Ireland, and select other countries — so as long as you reside in one of these locations, you’re good to go!

    Once you’re ready, sign-up takes just a few minutes. From there, we’ll get your onboarding sorted, make sure you feel fully supported, and walk you through your next steps to get your travel biz off the ground in the very best way.
