Ensemble Reports Third Consecutive Year of Profit Sharing

Ensemble announced its third consecutive year of profit sharing since its acquisition three years ago, distributing earnings to member travel agencies through what the company calls a transparent, performance-driven model.

The consortium has restructured its operations since the acquisition, implementing monthly town halls to highlight partners and earning opportunities for members. President Michael Johnson said the profit-sharing model was designed to build trust and distinguish Ensemble from competitors.

"We've taken deliberate steps to ensure every member understands where they can earn, what programs drive profitability and how to take advantage of them," Johnson said.

The company attributes member success to its proprietary booking platform ADX, which it says delivers above-average margins with preferred partners. Ensemble also expanded air booking support through two options: direct booking via ADX or referral through its Air Concierge program, where in-house staff handle bookings and return completed itineraries to advisors.

Ross Spalding, president of Crown Cruise Vacations, said the profit-sharing returns allowed his agency to reinvest in business growth.

Ensemble will recognize top-performing advisors at its second annual Beyond Extraordinary Experiences event July 21-24, 2025, in Tuscany. The program includes attendance at Andrea Bocelli's 20th anniversary concert at Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico, along with cultural experiences in Florence.

Last year's inaugural event took advisors to Paris with VIP access to the French Open at Roland Garros.
