I started off in the travel industry working with another host agency that I was not happy with and one of my friends who's also a travel agent kept telling me to give Avoya a try. I'm so glad that I gave them a try and I'm happy to still have my travel agency business affiliated with them a year later. The support that I get from Avoya especially the Early Success Team and Brand Sales Departments is extremely wonderful. I will admit when I first joined Avoya I was struggling but that's because I didn't reach out for help and once I contacted Early Success at Avoya asking them for help I went from struggling to now ending every month with at least over $2,000 commission wise. The Early Success Team is a wonderful asset that I'm very glad that Avoya has for free where as with most other host agencies they charge you for a coaching session. Avoya has opportunities where you can meet with the senior leadership team in person. Avoya even invited me to attend the naming ceremony for Royal Caribbean Icon of the Seas where I got to meet so many of Avoya Senior Leadership Team in person and I even got to talk to Avoya CSO Phil Cappelli for a bit during the 3-day naming ceremony cruise to the Bahamas. The live leads program with Avoya is amazing not only are my customers from the live leads program but some of them are also referrals that I got from the leads that I claimed threw Avoya live leads program. Avoya has a long standing relationship with so many suppliers and whenever I have a question or a issue I know that Avoya support team is there to help me. I love how Avoya also has training/educational opportunities that are offered via Zoom. A lot of Avoya staff use to be IA's with Avoya so a lot of them talk from experience. Overall I'm very happy with my affiliation with Avoya and I should of went with Avoya in the first place. Now I'm actually getting ready to add agents under my license and expand my business. I also love how Avoya Early Success Department makes sure that I have goals set for myself and how they cheer me on and celebrate whenever I hit a goal.
When I made a decision to open up my own travel agency, having a host was essential. I started with another host first and found out quickly enough that they were not what I was promised. I then moved to another host agency which was much better and was with them for about a year. Then, someone told me about Avoya Travel. This was the best move I have ever made. I am at the start of my 4th year with Avoya and I can't be happier that they are my host agency.
You would have to be crazy to leave them. With continued marketing that Avoya does, you have access to special deals that others don't. Their support system is excellent. There is always someone to help with any issue you might have. There are a lot of opportunities to grow your business and if you in need of more clients you can always get more from their Live Lead program. If you are willing to work, Avoya is there for you and you will be successful!!!
When I made the decision to leave my career in education and open my own travel agency, teaming up with a host was essential. After exploring several, I selected Avoya.
The decision to affiliate my business with Avoya is a contributing factor for the success of my growing travel agency.
In the competitive field of travel, Avoya is continuously there assisting and enabling my agency to grow. As a business owner, Avoya provides endless professional development opportunities so I may stay abreast of the latest travel trends. If I need support or advice, there are countless Avoya Associates willing to assist in a timely manner.
If you are seriously thinking about a host, look no further than Avoya!
It is my pleasure to have been affiliated with the Avoya Network for ten years and in the travel industry for more than 40 years. My success has been amazing due to the live lead program provided by Avoya.
I am so very proud to be affiliated with the Avoya Network. I have always felt the support, educational opportunities and professional family is the Best of the Best.
Most of my time now is spent with my many repeat clients and their referrals which where all initial live leads. I took the leads, I worked the leads, I built my business. I am a happy independent travel agent affiliated with Avoya Network. It worked for me and it can work for anyone who wants to build their travel business.
I've been involved with Avoya for a couple months now. I've been in travel before so there with things I knew to expect, and some new things I have learned as well. They do send you leads, and the web leads really do take a lot of work. I don't yet feel I am where I want to be, but I do feel the support and assistance is available to help me get there. When Avoya talks about their Shared Success Model, they truly do beleive it and the more you put into it as an agent, the more your'e going to get from them as the agency. This is not instant, overnight, get rich quick. Having said that, I think the earning potential is significant and is definitely there.
I have been with the Avoya Travel Network for less than a year. Wow, where do I begin in giving Avoya proper praise. They have provided me an opportunity I can't begin to thank them for. They have helped me begin a new career at 55 and who does that anymore? I've opened my own business and been able to learn and grow my business in a very short period of time in the cruise travel business. Here are just some of the reasons I chose the Avoya Travel Network:
1. Live Leads Program - Leads come to you!
2. Educational Opportunities Galore - Endless Opportunity to Grow!
3. Support Team is Awesome!
4. One of the Largest Travel Networks in America!

Need I say more?? What a great experience it has been so far! Looking forward to seeing my travel agency soar in the months to come! Kudos to the Avoya Travel Network Team!
I am a new independent agent. I was looking for the most “reputable” host agency and I believe Avoya has the highest reputation, offers the most support via many avenues, advanced technology – Agent Power, Live Leads Program, higher commissions, marketing and professional development., Avoya Advantage exclusive offers for clients and Avoya’s American Express affiliation.
I am proud to tell people I am affiliated with Avoya Travel.
After spending 40+ years in the travel industry I decided to come out of semi retirement and get back into the retail travel business. It has always been my first love. I looked at many host agency opportunities. It was apparent from the beginning that Avoya Travel was the place for me. I have never looked back. The experience with Avoya and it's people has been amazing. It has been life changing for me. I highly recommend, travel experience or none. Avoya Travel is the place !
The Avoya Travel Network is not just a host agency but a Family to all of us Independent Agents. They represent Integrity, Professionalism & Relationships…They walk the walk and talk the talk!
My personal relationship with Avoya dates back to 2001 when they were America's Vacation Center and I was booking our personal travel through them. Fast forward to 2014 and I now have my own independently owned and operated agency in the Avoya Network. As a past customer and now an agency owner I can only say their values to maintain the highest standards have never changed over the past 16 years I have had a relationship with them. From the Owners, Senior Management to the Support Staff… everyone in the network is outstanding! The consistency and commitment to provide updated marketing, technology & support for our business growth is the best in the industry. I love everything about them :-)
I think the education and support that Avoya offers cannot be beat, and of course the live leads. I couldn't be more pleased with Avoya!
I have worked as a travel consultant for 40 years, mostly for Brick and Mortar agencies as an employee and manager. Other than my 4 years with Burdines Travel in the 80's this has been the greatest experience of my career. The company is wholly customer oriented, offering exclusive deals and gives us fantastic support as well as always updating the learning tools. Whether we make our minimum monthly sales or in the Presidents club our contributions to the bottom line are equally appreciated. Wish I had known about Avoya 20 years ago.
