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.
I have been in the travel industry for over 20 years and have been affiliated with several host agencies. Avoya Travel offers the most comprehensive professional development available along with the most amazing support staff in the industry. The Mastermind Team is there to support you and help you grown your business
The education platform and Agent Power systems prove that Avoya helps make your business successful.
The very best decision I have made for my travel career of over 45 years.
Avoya is owned by a family who applies outstanding professional ethics in all aspects of the company. Tremendous software to provide support. During Covid pandemic the management team led the way for us to come out stronger.
We would LOVE for you to share your feedback with the world as it may help others who are evaluating which Host would be best for their Independent Agency. If you would you be so kind as to take a few moments leave feedback on two of our Host Websites, it would be much appreciated. To make it easier for you, I’ve included your feedback here: “Avoya is like having a big brother in your corner. Always there, looking out for you. Big brothers roles change as you grow so now it's possible to do more without too much interaction but it's good knowing that they are no more than a click away.”
“The all round support Avoya gives me as an independent agent is second to none. They put me in a position to be successful and offer our clients great vacations.”
Avoya Travel has supported it's Independent Agents like me every step of the way through the entire Pandemic. We had access to experts to guide us through the maze of Government assistance; support on hand for everything we needed so we could continue to service our customers, and work with our suppliers. We have been working for free for a year because of all cancellations, but Avoya Travel has been there for us. We knew they were not going away, and that helped sustain me throughout this horrible year. I highly recommend them to any travel agent who is considering a host agency.
Support!!! Plus dealing with the most honorable people in the business gives you great security.”
I've had the pleasure to personally interact with many of the staff at Avoya, and I have the utmost faith that they all care for the success of the IA's.
Joined Avoya Travel Network at the beginning of this year. My experience has benefited by the “The experienced Staff, comprehensive training, complete booking engines, constant updates, and opportunities to learn”.
The support has been fantastic and all staff have been so encouraging in this tough time. They all have really tried to give us tools to pivot and go in a different direction with offerings to clients with borders closed and no cruising. There is also so much supplier and Avoya education to help us keep up with current info for when clients are ready and bookings increase.
