A Host Agency For A Host Of Reasons!

There’s a host of reasons why Andavo Travel is the premier leisure host travel agency.

Our two core values sum up why so many travel advisors partner with us:

1) We Value People

2) We Create Value

We value people by offering exclusive and personalized development and networking opportunities, and we create value through our Virtuoso ® partnership. It opens doors to a global network of travel suppliers, allowing you to gain connections worldwide. Plus, our ongoing support, resources, and technologies help grow and improve your luxury travel business.

At Andavo, we elevate your brand to help you earn and achieve more than you ever could alone. We’re proud to be your partner in success.

Virtuoso Membership

Andavo Travel is a proud member of Virtuoso, the top host travel agency. Since 1999, our membership has allowed our agents to gain access to the world’s top vendors, tour operators, and hoteliers. Not only does a Virtuoso membership mean higher commissions for you, but it also means improved travel experiences for your clients.

Virtuoso’s influence in the travel industry is sizable. This means hotels, cruises, and airlines offer perks and benefits to your travelers that would be unheard of with other smaller host travel agencies. In addition, they provide high-end marketing materials to your clients in your agency’s name but at no cost to you.

Preferred Relations With Travel Vendors

The clear benefit of a host travel agency? It opens doors you couldn’t reach on your own. Our host agency for travel agents like you partners with some of the world’s best luxury brands. Exclusive, luxury hotels, cruises, and tours operating around the world join our Andavo network to expand their clientele, grow their business, and streamline their partnerships. These exclusive connections offer valuable benefits for your clients which increase their overall satisfaction with your agency’s services. It’s a win-win arrangement that ultimately allows your agency to do what it does best: to plan incredible, personalized experiences your clients will keep coming back for, again and again.

Our advisors use their personal connections and firsthand experience to craft trips for clients that include benefits like special values, complimentary perks, VIP treatment and rare access.

Tour

We have long valued our relationship with Andavo Travel and their very professional agents. They conduct a very effective yearly meeting that brings together their far flung team of travel professionals with key vendors to network for the benefit of clients. They are a top tier travel company that has long been a member of our 100 Club, which denotes the best in the business.

Cynthia Reed, Sales Director Abercrombie & Kent

 

Andavo Travel has been a key Preferred Partner of Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts since 2006. I have personally worked with the team at Andavo since 2005. The ownership, management team, and advisors are all of the highest integrity, knowledgeable, and consistently provide a level of service and expertise that is unsurpassed. So much so, that I trust my own travel to one of their top advisors. It is a privilege to work with the team at Andavo and to partner with an agency of this caliber.

Travel Advisors Benefit From Multiple Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and Non-GDS Technology

A GDS is the fastest and simplest way to find live rates and availability for rooms and flights. It also automates transactions with partners around the globe for seamless bookings. Because there is more than one GDS platform used by luxury hotels, airlines, cruises, tours, and car rental brands, the greater your access to them, the more options you have for personalized and exclusive travel experiences.

To expand your current access, our host travel agency provides you access to (and support for) one of three GDS platforms:

Apollo or Worldspan, Travelport GDS brands

Travelport is a top three major global distribution system operator. While initially focused on airline bookings, it now distributes a variety of products and services for those in the travel industry, including hotel rooms.

Sabre

Sabre, also a top three major GDS operator, accounts for over a third of all travel agency bookings. Sabre boasts around 175,000 hotels in its system, and its North American portfolio is considerably larger than its competitors.

Because these are some of the best-known and most widely used GDS platforms in the world, access to them can greatly increase your selections for travel planning.

For those who don’t use a GDS, Andavo offers Revelex®, a premier travel technology that allows advisors to search, book, and pay in one easy transaction, empowering advisors to manage their business more efficiently providing opportunities for increased profitability.

Andavo’s luxury travel advisors are now empowered with a tool that aggregates and distributes information from multiple websites into one user-friendly software, organizing business operations in one system. This incredibly valuable benefit is just another way our host agency for travel agents makes your work easier.


As a host agency that supports multiple GDS systems, our advisors have the flexibility of working within the platform in which they are most skilled. This makes switching to Andavo a breeze, without the stress of training on a new GDS. Plus we have a dedicated support team to assist with any GDS questions or issues that arise.

Andavo Connections Conference

A host agency for travel agents like Andavo doesn’t just benefit your clients’ experiences, but your own professional fulfillment, too. Working in the travel industry, it benefits you to learn and connect from other professionals to stay up-to-date on trends, improve your services, and innovate how your agency uses new technology to streamline your customer experience.

Our annual conference is one of the best ways to take advantage of your Andavo host travel agency membership. Andavo Travel takes advisors to different, exciting cities, each year. It’s a fun and engaging event our team and our members look forward to every year.

As we know, travel fosters connection; by traveling and meeting with other agents, we learn from each other, gain new perspectives and ideas, and grow our professional network. Every year, great discussions help our members feel refreshed and implement something new when they return home.


There are numerous training opportunities offered throughout the year via webinars, Virtuoso’s Travel Academy, and our annual Andavo Connections conference. I look forward to many more successful years as a part of this great host travel agency.

High Compensation & Commissions

Our compensation package is extremely competitive.
– No start-up fees
– No monthly management fees
– Quarterly incentives

Our advisors earn the highest commission percentage with our key suppliers.


Andavo offers home-based agents excellent compensation options, plus I am often able to earn higher commission rates because of Andavo’s volume.
