FAQ

We welcome luxury-focused travel professionals through two different avenues. The first path is open to seasoned luxury advisors who possess at least 5 years of professional experience and a well-established clientele generating $500,000
in annual sales. The second path, called the Advisor Advantage Program, is designed for new-to-industry advisors or those with annual sales of $250,000 
or less.

No. Unfortunately, we are only able to support and accept independent business travel advisors living inside the U.S.

Our process begins with a series of interviews. As an experienced advisor, once we receive your completed agreement and accompanying documents, we will evaluate them, and your implementation will begin upon approval. If approved, 
we can establish our collaboration within approximately five working days.

For those accepted into our Advisor Advantage Program, once we receive your completed agreement and accompanying documents, we will assess them

On occasion, we have access to leads from Virtuoso or Christopherson Andavo Travel (our sister company) that we distribute to the most qualified agent. Our advisors will also have profiles on andavotravel.com and virtuoso.com, where consumers may contact you directly after finding your profile through various internet searches or other sources. We firmly believe this will be more beneficial 
to you than providing you with price-shopping leads that may compromise 
your commissions.

Andavo does not offer this service directly. However, customized consumer websites ARE available for a small fee through our membership with Virtuoso.
