I’ve been with Dugan’s since 2014 and happily renewed my contract last month! I had limited experience when I started out. Just a passion for travel and wanting to help people create an awesome vacation experience. I did a lot of research before choosing Dugan’s as my host agency. Dugan's agents are like a big family, there is always someone that has experience in what you need help with, and they are always willing to share their knowledge. During this past year, Jennifer and the management team have gone above and beyond my expectations from weekly zoom sessions, ongoing training, moral support, and providing tools to use to assist us in maintaining and growing our agencies through difficult times. Don’t hesitate to choose Dugan’s as your host agency!
I have been with Dugan's Travels as a host agency since May of 2024. The team at Dugan's has been extremely helpful and supportive as I've ventured into the world of Travel sales.
They provide quick responses to any questions and walked me through my first sale. I appreciate the variety of learning opportunities they provide from DU an online collection of resources including many webinars as well as live webinars.
I feel the startup cost and the commission structure are fair and reward you for taking the time to educate yourself and grow in your understanding of the business.
I would recommend Dugan's if you're looking for more of a community feel within the host agency and enjoy online learning.

I am an independent travel advisor with Dugan’s Travels, and I am so happy to have them as my host agency. Dugan’s new agent training is thorough and extremely helpful. They have made the process of setting up my own business and learning the trade very straight forward. If I have questions, I know I can receive the help I need. I feel very supported by Jennifer and the entire Dugan’s team. I am particularly pleased with their commitment to having a great agent website. With it, I have so much information right at my finger tips. Thy offer many opportunities for continuing education and specialization. Truly, they embody their motto, “In business for yourself, not by yourself”.

I found the Host Agency Reviews website many, many years ago! I scoured through all the agencies and took the plunge in November 2019 and signed up with an agency that my friend was with. I didn't really have any warm fuzzy feelings about the agency however I figured it was a good start. And then we all know what happened to the world. I stayed with that agency as I had a very large group cruise set up and once that ship sailed - I scoured Host Agency Reviews again, I narrowed it down to five, then three, and then two. I signed up with Dugan's Travels mid 2023. I didn't start growing right away and then in 2024 had some family issues. While life was happening I stayed "close to the fire" as they call it. Dugan's has lots of trainings via their Dugan's University, not just product wise, they also have business trainings as well, Jennifer has her zoom updates, Melissa's weekly trainings and the entire team was active on FB answering questions and the response time when sending an email was quick. I never felt alone even tho I had just started, yet really didn't start. I just went on a Fam cruise and got to meet the majority of the Dugans "office team & Jennifer and some of my fellow agents. When meeting everyone for the first time, it felt like I already knew them. I like the size of the company, it's large enough yet has that cozy, friendly feel to it. I have never once felt lost amongst all the happenings, everything is at your finger tips when needed and everything is provided to succeed. The rest is up to you. I am very happy that I partnered up with Dugan's Travels. I am excited to finally get my business off the ground. If I didn't have Dugan's the last couple years, I would have hung up my hat with the travel industry. - Pamela M.

As a member of the Dugans Travel family for the past three years, I could not be happier with the amount of support and encouragement received as I started my business.
Their continual learning environment (including live webinars, on demand training, and the annual weeklong Dugans University) keeps me motivated, and well-equipped to offer my clients the best experiences possible.
Likewise, I’ve been able to build strong relationships with both fellow advisors and suppliers, which has allowed me to benefit from their experiences and insights. It’s been invaluable to exchange ideas, share best practices, and learn from their successes and challenges. Additionally, the opportunities to learn about marketing strategies, social media tips, and more have significantly enhanced my ability to attract and engage clients.
Overall, being part of the Dugans Travel family has been one of the best decisions I've made for my business. The leadership team at Dugans Travel truly wants everyone to succeed, and provides the tools to do so.
I’m excited for what the future holds and grateful for the ongoing support and encouragement - and highly recommend Dugans Travel.

I started in this business in 1993 and worked for a wonderful family in a small town where it was a brick and mortar setup. Many industry changes later and a change in their family dynamics, I started working from home and was happy to find a host agency such as Dugan's. While there is no perfect host agency nor a perfect agent, Dugan's is a wonderful support system whether you are a new agent or a seasoned agent such as myself. I think in the past few years, the company has streamlined many things within the company such as having our own "help desk", more designated persons to handle such issues and a more concentrated effort on duties where they can be of the best solution to a problem and offer the appropriate assistance. That cuts down on things being passed back and forth and tends to gain more focus from those in charge. One thing I am especially proud of with Dugan's is the team has developed our own set of preferred suppliers which is our "Inner Circle Partners". They encourage us to use these select and elite suppliers for many reasons, whether it be commission percentages, the relationship with the BDM, agent incentives and just good old fashioned service from one company to another. It's quite relieving knowing who you are dealing with and they have your back should a problem arise. And lastly, the training that Dugan's offers is second to none. Weekly webinars, our own "University", videos, and much more are all a part of the invaluable training and it is up to the agent of how much they participate. Overall, I have been very happy being a member of the Dugan's Family.
