Total Advantage Travel & Tours launches home-based advisor program

There's a new host agency on the block.

Total Advantage Travel & Tours has launched My Host Agent, a home-based travel advisor program targeting both new and experienced Canadian agents.

The Toronto-based agency, in operation for more than 30 years, designed the program to handle administrative tasks including invoicing, supplier payments, licensing and paperwork on behalf of affiliated agents.

Program features include real-time dashboard reporting showing commissions earned and paid, training for new advisors and tools for experienced agents, access to supplier partnerships with airlines, cruise lines, tour operators and hotels, marketing materials and optional lead-generation programs as well as flexible work arrangements.

"We've spent years listening to what independent agents actually want," said 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."

"We fundamentally believe that travel agents are born as assets, not liabilities. 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," said John Zeus Tokatlidis, marketing director of Total Advantage Travel & Tours.

Agents can register at MyHostAgent.ca.
