WHY IT RATES: Ensemble has seen sales increase 11% from 2024, enjoying increasing profitability and member profit sharing. — Lacey Pfalz, Associate Editor, TravelPulse
As Ensemble prepares to bring together its global network for its annual Horizons event at Resorts World Las Vegas from May 4–6, 2026, the organization is entering the week with a series of notable milestones, led by its fourth consecutive year of profit sharing with members.
Four years after its acquisition and complete transformation of the brand, Ensemble continues to see strong momentum across the network, with overall sales increasing 11 percent year over year. Growth has been driven by double digit gains in cruise and tour and has remained consistent across both the U.S. and Canada.
The milestone reflects a sustained focus on member profitability and a business model designed to deliver measurable financial outcomes. Having committed to member profit sharing from the initial acquisition nearly four years ago, Ensemble has prioritized clarity and consistency in how earnings are structured and distributed across its network.
The announcement also comes at a time of continued momentum for the organization. Over the past year, more than 50 new agencies have joined Ensemble, with growth driven largely by referrals and existing members. Approximately 70 percent of members are active advocates of the network, a key factor behind continued member-driven growth.
“Profitability has to be more than a concept, it has to be something members can clearly see and plan around,” said Michael Johnson, President of Ensemble. “We’ve taken a transparent approach, ensuring our members understand not only how much they can earn, but when they can expect those payments. That level of visibility remains unique in this space and allows them to run more confident, more strategic businesses.”
At the same time, Ensemble has continued to expand and refine its partner ecosystem, adding approximately 120 new preferred partners over the past year. The organization’s tiered partner model is designed to help advisors make more informed decisions about where to place business in order to maximize both client experience and financial return.
“Not all partnerships deliver the same value and being intentional about that has never been more important,” said Daniel Finkel, SVP of Partner Relations. “As we’ve expanded our preferred partner network, the focus has been on adding partners that bring differentiated offerings helping position us as a leader in cruise and sun and sand, while strengthening programs like Ensemble Exclusives and our Hotel-to-Port transfer amenity. It’s not just about adding more partners, it’s about aligning with where the industry is going and delivering stronger outcomes for our members and their clients.”
“Joining Ensemble has had an immediate impact on our business,” said Tracy Petriccione co-founder of Pixie Travel, a fast-growing agency based in Atlanta. “Even in our first year, the profit share was meaningful and exceeded expectations."
Her co-founder, Cami Dettmer, added, "More importantly, it gave us a clear understanding of what’s possible and how to build toward it. That level of transparency and alignment is incredibly valuable as we scale our business.”
By aligning partner relationships with member profitability and client expectations, Ensemble continues to reinforce its positioning as a network built not just for scale, but for sustainable, long-term success.
These milestones set the stage for Horizons 2026, where members will gather to explore new tools, strategies, and opportunities designed to further strengthen performance across every aspect of their business.
