Total Advantage Travel has launched a new host travel agency, built from what it sees as need for more transparency in the industry. The new agency, My Host Agent, plans to offer “industry-leading” commissions and “complete transparency.”
The agency will be made up of home-based advisors with the aim of eliminating
administrative headaches and hidden fees, allowing agents to focus exclusively on selling travel and serving clients.
“We’ve spent years listening to what independent agents actually want.” says Robert Townshend, President of Total Advantage Travel & Tours. “My Host Agent eliminates the red tape, delivers real-time transparent reporting, and lets advisors keep more of what they earn — simple as that.”
According to the company, some of the key features of the program include:
• Industry-leading commission splits with no hidden charges.
• Real-time dashboards showing every dollar earned and paid.
• Total Advantage Travel & Tours handles all invoicing, supplier payments, licensing and paperwork.
• Comprehensive training for newcomers and advanced tools for veterans.
• Preferred pricing and VIP access to major airlines, cruise lines, tour operators and hotels.
• Ready-to-use marketing materials and optional lead-generation programs.
• Complete flexibility to work from anywhere on the agent’s own schedule.
“We fundamentally believe that travel agents are born as assets, not liabilities,” says John Zeus Tokatlidis, Marketing Director of Total Advantage Travel & Tours, My Host Agent. “ By equipping our agents with the best tools, resources, and clear expectations, My Host Agent is fostering a community where they don’t just survive, they thrive. The large number of agents joining us from across the country is a testament to this empowering model.”
