My business partner and I joined Oasis when we were entering the travel industry in 2017. Neither of us had ever worked in travel (I was a nurse practitioner, and she was a forensic accountant), but we were both ready to take on a new challenge. We conducted extensive research to identify the right host agency for our needs and personalities. Having no experience in the industry but with big dreams and personal goals, we wanted a partner who would offer the right combination of freedom and support. We knew early on that we wanted to be part of Signature Travel Network and focused on finding a host agency member of this outstanding consortium. From the very beginning, we felt that we had made the right choice.
Deciding whether to be with a host agency, work as an employee, become a sub-agent or be independent is a personal choice that depends a lot on your individual needs and both long-term and short-term goals. For us, the benefits provided by Oasis (high commission percentages, technology, back-office support), as well as the highly flexible membership structures, allowed us to scale and grow our agency to be Top 10 (out of over 800 agents) within a few short years. In addition, the entire team, including the front line and back-office staff, are dedicated, professional, and highly accessible even to new agents. We have learned a great deal about the industry from the Oasis team and the many exceptional advisors we have met over the years who have become our dear friends.
During the Covid pandemic, Lee and the entire Oasis team stepped up and went above and beyond to mitigate losses, help advisors negotiate refunds, restructure their membership options to make them more affordable, and provided exceptional support to the members. I believe that many companies can do a relatively good job when times are good, but only outstanding companies can maintain their standards and exceed expectations during a crisis. After weathering the storm with Oasis, I can wholeheartedly say that they are unique in the industry.
No agency or consortium is perfect, and of course, there is always room for improvement, but I appreciate that the Oasis team takes time to listen to our concerns and feedback. If you are a driven, independent, resourceful, and goal-oriented professional who wants to belong to a host agency for added support, higher commission structures, and a sense of community, then Oasis is for you.
I've been with OTN for 18 months and I'm really impressed with the level of support they receive (and that includes their Travel Advisors) from our industry suppliers. It's clear that they have built strong relationships with these top suppliers and in the end this benefits us all. Happy clients are our goal and to have the backing that we do is key to achieving this. OTN also offers on-going professional development and affiliation with the Signature Travel Network. All these factors are what I was looking for in a host agency and have finally found it in Oasis Travel Network.
I did thorough research when deciding to start my career as a travel advisor and with which host agency. Oasis Travel Network was by far the best choice for me, from the initial training in the program to continued support through the years. Best choice ever! OTN has truly contributed to my success!
If you are looking for a great host company who will help train and inspire you then I highly recommend Oasis Travel Network. Oasis regularly has events that you can attend if desired to build relationships with suppliers and other advisors. In addition at these events the suppliers educates you on their brands. Oasis also hosts weekly education opportiunities via zoom. The product knowledge that I have gained has assisted me in matching my clients's needs with the best supplier for them. As a result my sales have increased by over 90% since I first came to the host company. Previously I had been with another host company for 1 year. I have been with Oasis for 5 years. In addition the accounting department helps to collect on unpaid commission when the supplier is slow in paying. I would not be the agent I am without Oasis Travel Network.
Oasis has been supportive from day one! They have a knowledgeable team to guide and lead you through the process as a new travel agent. I researched other hosts; I know I have made the right choice. They believe in training and as a new agent I trusted them and try to always take advantage of the trainings they offer. OTN university supplies us with the tools to get going in a wonderful industry.
New travel agent just starting out here and my experience with OTN has been phenomenal I cannot tell you just how helpful they have been in getting me started! The training and webinars they just poor so many resources into you, and are always so helpful and responsive to questions and requests! I am very happy with choice!
I departed from the corporate sphere to become a full-time travel advisor alongside my partner, who belongs to the OASIS Travel Network. The tools and training provided were easily graspable and equipped me to swiftly get up to speed. The leadership team at OASIS demonstrates a strong business acumen and maintains a constant focus on continuous improvement. I value the clarity of operating as an Independent Contractor rather than an employee. Along with the great commission structure OASIS has been the perfect host agency for our business.
I chose OASIS because of their high level, detailed training program and simple and generous commission structure. OASIS continuously supports you with sales and marketing tools to expand your business. I am honored to be a part of such a supportive community where we learn, help and support each other daily.
OTN has been a wonderful host since the day I decided to dip my toes into the world of travel. Beginning with their New2Travel program, OTN has been there to guide and support me as I transitioned from part time to full time. The supplier partner relationships are among the best in the business and the internal OTN support can’t be beat! A great host agency for advisors at all levels.
Oasis Travel Network has been THE tool to making me go farther faster in this competitive travel industry.
Super thankful for the team, the support, the investment, and their incredible fee structure. Not going anywhere else ever.
I highly recommend Oasis Travel Network to anyone who is considering getting in to the travel industry or is already in the industry but unhappy with their current host agency.
I have been with OASIS since almost the beginning of OASIS and have never moved away from them- I love that they are Signature Travel, and the website is a huge plus- I work travel and another job and OASIS allows me the time to do both! Although I wish travel could be my full-time job but another year and I do not plan to leave OASIS anytime soon! You can go as far as you dream with OASIS! Lots of great training options!
