I joined The Travel Agent Next Door in 2022 as a brand new agent to the industry. I feel so encouraged and supported by everyone I've been in contact with so far. The training has been excellent and there is nothing they haven't thought of. The entire team from initial contact, to onboarding and now to support has been incredibly kind and professional. The team is so approachable and provides personal attention when you need it. The agent website is continually updated with information and resources. I feel very fortunate to have found such a positive community in which to launch my second career.

This host agency is absolutely amazing. These people work very hard to make you successful. I previously worked for a large cruise-based host and the difference is unbelievable. This host agency does everything it can to support and promote you. The encouragement and help that is provided is constant and positive. With this company, they are only there for support, and do not compete with you! They offer great commission splits and treat you with respect. Flemming and Penny are super leaders. I am so proud to work with an agency that I believe is fair, respectful and above all else, truthful. Very rare in this business.

As a seasoned travel advisor, we were an independent agency for over 40 yrs, that said, changes and time took it's toll. We looked to TheTravelAgentNextdoor for change. It has been less than a year, and I can say Flemming and his team delivered just what they promised. The rest is up to us. The support teams are really dedicated. It is not easy to put up with old dogs learning new tricks! Kudos, ladies and gentleman your the backbone of TTAND.

Our intrepid leader Flemming and team are definitely a main reason for me to continue working with this company.
The support, understanding, networking and ability to do what you do bet in surpassed by none.

Thank-you TTAND, you are the best!

I started as a new agent with The Travel Agent Next Door 2 years ago and I could not be happier with my choice of host agency. I decided to become an agent after working for Canada's friendliest airline for 10 years and TTAND'S culture reminded me so much of theirs... friendly, inviting, encouraging and empowering.
With no prior experience in booking travel as I was previously aircrew, I truly feel that the high level of support that TTAND offers to their agents has been the key to me succeeding. I would be lost without the tremoundous support staff, strong leadership and plethora of colleagues to reach out to for anything and everything.
If you are looking for a host agency that truly has your best interest and success at heart, look no further. Come join us!

Been in the industry for 25+ years, worked retail, but have working as Homebased Agent for approx 10 years. Four years ago joined The Travel Agent Next Door - as most host agency - now currently have own Agency in Quesnel BC with 4 Associate agents. The TTAND support is very supportive, knowledgeable, patient. Head office does keep you informed on changes. They offer websites, phone and training.
This was my best move ever. I now feel part of TEAM across the country and
not just number by myself.
Kudos to The Travel Agent Next Door - Flemming Friisdahl, Penny Martin and Rhonda Friisdahl - for the awesome company to work with.

Family. Cliché? No! That is the word that many Travel Consultants, including myself, who are part of “The Travel Agent Next Door” call it. Having been with another Host Agency and a Tour Operator, I can honestly say, “I’m home”. The support we receive through Marketing, Support Desk, Conferences, Programs (that just keep getting better!), Staff, Management (including but not limited to our President) and so much more, is really and honestly second to none. Through the many opportunities afforded to us from Head Office, I am able to do what I love, create lasting memories for my clients. The support & encouragement I receive helps me to continue to grow in the industry and can only do one thing. And that is to trickle down to my clients which is a win-win situation. I can’t say enough about TTAND. You need to see it for yourself. I highly recommend that you contact Head Office (or myself) and see the difference for yourself. You will be so happy you did. You and the rest of the TTAND Family will be saying “Welcome Home Family”.

TTAND has been nothing but great to work with. The support team along with Flemming and Penny have been excellent. The best I have ever seen. They actually want to help their agents grow their business. Other host agencies do not charge as much ( very close) however do not also give the benefits that TTAND does to their team. With high commission levels and bonuses you can not beat TTAND

My company and I are very lucky to be part of such a great network and host agency

TTAND has been the best "move" I have ever made.

Being in the business for close to 25 years I have worked for big brand named companies both in the bricks and mortar office and in home based (10 years) and the support I get from TTAND is bar none. I may have the silliest of questions but they are always there in a timely manner to answer them. No question is silly!!!

From the amazing support staff, marketing staff and finally Penny, Fleming and Rhonda moving to TTAND is the best move you could make.

After working for everyone else for the past 18 years, it was time to take the leap and go on my own. While I loved past agencies and owners I had worked for, the commission split program was very motivating for me to receive more of the money I have earned. After only the first 6 months on my own with TTAND (branded as Travel by Amanda), my sales have surpassed my entire 2016 sales.
The marketing and back office support is nice to have so you don't feel alone, yet I can choose what I would like to do.
There is never pressure to succeed, you just do because you have the tools and I put in the time.
Looking forward to the continuing success with TTAND and bringing on new agents for my agency!

As an agent with over 30 years of experience in the industry I was happy to join TTAND a few months after they opened. I knew both Flemming and Penny had plenty of experience and I trusted both of them to run a great company. I was not wrong. Since joining TTAND I have had nothing but support from head office with marketing, website, training and anything else I need to run my own home business. The commission split is excellent. The yearly conferences are life changing, and meeting all the other agents either in person or in online forums just for us is a fantastic way to grow my business. Although we have grown in numbers, there is always someone to answer my questions. One important factor is that the people at head office ALWAYS want our feedback on anything they do. They really listen to the agents and treat us all the same, no matter what our sales are. Best Host Agency ever!!!
