In the news

Hear from our personal travel managers.

As we sit here, sharing a coffee at Brisbane Airport (awaiting to pick up a client from the Azamara Cruise Co charter from Montreal to New Orleans) had a spot of brekky, in our shorts, beautiful day – we just reflected back to our previous life where it’s 8:30am, in a morning meeting being drilled by a Manager on how you are going to make 6 bookings today and think to ourselves, how lucky we are to be in the position we are in. Although we worked hard to get here, we appreciate the life that TravelManagers has given us. Without this business model, we would probably still be in those morning meetings…!

Personal Travel Manager, QLD

The thing that I love most about TravelManagers is the freedom it’s given me to find time to launch my blog, and pursue my passions, and still earn money and work from wherever whenever I want. It’s amazing I love it!

Personal Travel Manager, NSW

I have been a Personal Travel Manager now for over 7 years. TravelManagers National Partnership office have always been there providing me with professional support and commitment to my business and with the expert teams providing fares and ticketing, marketing, accounting and techology needed for me to maintain the flexibility and opportunity to work when and where I choose and to continually be able to grow that business. Along with the added support from my local state business development managers and their experience this combination of teamwork enables me to ensure I have the quality of service and commitment that I can deliver to my clients as their own Personal Travel Manager

I never thought I would make this much money selling travel.

Destination Focus - Hawaii

Hawai’i is a much loved destination for Australians. There’s just something about that first step onto the plane, the gentle strum of a ukulele providing the soundtrack. Our guides to Hawai’i are a great place to start if you are thinking about visiting America’s 50th state.

Indulge your spirit of adventure on the biggest Hawaiian island. It’s still a vast frontier, full of unexpected wonders

Emerald mountains, weeping waterfalls, red-rock canyons and jaw-dropping beaches. Kaua‘i’s natural gifts are unparalleled

Maui lures travellers with an invigorating mix of natural beauty and outdoor fun, all shared with warm alohas.

Oʻahu attacks your senses. Tropical aromas and temperatures, turquoise waters and a kaleidoscope of colourful fish.

We’re always looking for new people with plenty of talent – and a real love of travel. People who can help their clients have travel experiences that are as individual as they are. If you’re an experienced travel professional and looking to grow with a company as individual as you,  find out more about becoming a personal travel manager .

The Scoop on Host Travel Agencies

Partner with a Host with the Most

When you make a host travel agencies comparison, it’s easy to see that here at TPI, we’ve got it going on. Our level of support, unparalleled technology, family atmosphere, fun vibe, and our supplier connections, make us the top choice in host travel agencies. We have over 5,000 Rockstar agents who love what they do and make more money than if they were operating alone.

Why Not Just Partner with a Consortia Myself?

Consortias are awesome, but why limit yourself to only having one course of growing your business. Today’s Travel Host Agency operates like a mini-consortia with the benefits of having an entire team behind you.

What About an MLM? Why Don’t I Just Go That Route?

Belonging to a multi-level-marketing travel agency group may sound enticing, but you don’t get a whole lot in return for all your hard work. You pretty much just get to be a part of a group and don’t get the support and technology we offer at TPI.

Rockstar Success Stories

I started my career like many others, with big dreams and a passion for travel. I opened my business in 2010 as an independent agent — working on my own trying to take on the world. After finding a mentor in the industry, I was introduced to the idea of host agencies. I worked with several host agencies over the years, but joining TPI in 2012 was the best move for my business.
