Uniglobe Travel Center

After a 16-year career in the localization industry, I decided last fall that I wanted to combine my corporate sales experience with my love for all things travel and launched my own business earlier this year. After much research (including spending many hours devouring content provided by HAR—thank you again, Steph and team!), I interviewed with six different host agencies and am so happy that I chose Uniglobe. For me, Uniglobe offered the perfect amount of training for someone new to the industry via their 12-week MentorU program, which I am a few weeks away from completing. The focus on relationship management, including relationships with suppliers, Uniglobe staff, and of course other advisors hosted by Uniglobe (it truly is a supportive family environment) has been so valuable. I’ve already learned so much about the industry from both my Uniglobe mentors as well as from other advisors in our network. There were other host agencies that I was very impressed by (and others that left a bad taste), but in the end I am so happy that I chose Uniglobe as a partner to support my new business. I definitely feel like I’m in the right place and have already begun to have some nice wins at this early stage of my new career. If you’re looking for the right host agency to support your business, I highly recommend meeting with the Uniglobe team.

UTC is an amazing Host Agency. We are family. Everyone is treated with respect. There is never a silly question. We have so much support. Everyone from staff of UTC to all the TAs who help each other out. There are weekly webinars to monthly meeting to Annika conferences. It’s a great place to be. I am grateful to a part of this family.

I am so grateful to have found Uniglobe after interviewing several other host agencies. The devil is in the details - review those host agency contracts with a fine toothed comb. I was impressed in my interactions with April and felt comfortable with the relationship as defined per the contract. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to join this family. I am currently wrapping up MentorU (a one-on-one training program). The support from Rose, Crystal and all other advisors has been top notch. Setting up one’s business is a very big project and the support I have received along the way has been priceless. It truly is a family with a nice mix of both experienced and new advisors.

I took a year of research deciding on a host agency. I wanted to take my time to find the perfect fit. I am so glad I was selective and chose Uniglobe Travel Center! They ticked all my boxes: Virtuoso consortia, great mentor program, online and in person support. What I didn't realize was how much of a family feel you get from joining UTC. The other advisors and staff are so supportive. It has been helpful for me as a new advisor starting my own company. You can also tell how much the suppliers respect UTC advisors. It is important to pair up with a reputable company that trains you well.

Hi my name is Lisa. Last year I called Uniglobe Travel Center and spoke to April. She was helpful with answering all the questions I had and more about becoming a travel agent (advisor). She told me everyone with the company becomes part of the family. I searched and spoke to other companies and I was lead back to Uniglobe Travel Center because of what April said to me. I joined the Mentor Me Program. Crystal, Rose, April, Betsy, and the rest of the team are the best. When I need help they are right there to guide me the right way. They have all taught me so much. My first year with this host agency has been such an awesome experience. Rose and Crystal explained why attending conferences are helpful to meet other advisors and the suppliers and they were so right. It's a wonderful feeling to have people rooting for you to succeed and there to help you to succeed. I still have a lot to learn but it is less scary now knowing help is just a phone call or email away. I just want to say Thank you to the whole Uniglobe Travel Center team.

After taking Host Review Agency’s 7-Day set-up course, I knew that “interviewing” for both myself and the host agency was essential in my business launch. After setting up a spreadsheet, Uniglobe ticked many boxes for me and ended up being my first interview. Immediately I felt at home and one with the agency. Instead of diving head first, they encouraged me to look into several others so I knew it was the correct fit. So I did, and I knew after each one, they weren’t Uniglobe. I then signed on and completed their Mentor U program in July of 2022. The mentors did such an amazing job teaching me the ins and outs while also assisting with my first bookings. I often heard others from UTC saying, “You don’t know what you don’t know” and I love that. No one “secret keeps,” and the wealth of knowledge that is shared is such a breath of fresh air. I know I can ask what I need to ask, and someone is there to help or encourage me. Thank you all for the hard work you’ve done in making UTC the best of the best!

I relied heavily on hostagencyreviews to find a host that was a good fit for me. Being brand new to the industry, it was necessary for me to belong to a group that helped each other, that was inclusive, and that felt like family. Uniglobe is all of these things! Their immersive onboarding program offered in Irvine was super helpful and their annual conference was nothing short of a family reunion. I am convinced I made a great choice with UTC!

I am fortunate to be part of the Uniglobe Travel Center family for the past twenty plus years. Uniglobe Travel Center is the best of the best. The UTC administration and staff work round the clock to help the many advisors with support and great advice. I would never have made it this long in the "travel business" without the guidance and expertise of my Uniglobe Travel Center family. I am a small in house agency, but mighty with UTC as my Host Agency.

As a new advisor in the profession, I did a lot of research before joining Uniglobe as my host agency. Like A LOT of research.

Uniglobe quickly became one of the finalists when I looked at training and value and became the clear winner when I looked at core values like integrity, respect, and professionalism. The best part is UTC has all of that with a family feel.

I couldn't be happier with this relationship.

If you're looking for a host, look no further. Uniglobe for the win!

I have thought a lot about what I would say in a review about UTC. I could write paragraphs on why UTC is the best but I’ll keep it simple.

I cannot imagine being in this business alone, either as a solo agent or a with massive host where you feel like a number. I can’t imagine a host agency where you would feel more supported either by 1) the host agency team or 2) the other agents. I can’t imagine a host agency where the other TA’s are so willing to share and support each other. I can’t imagine a host agency that would feel more like family than UTC does.

Simply put, I cannot imagine being with another host agency because UTC is the best!
