Ensemble, a travel agency consortium, has announced its second consecutive year of profit sharing in 2023, with 90% of members increasing their payouts from the previous year. This achievement represents a significant increase from the previous year, when 73% of the consortium's top-performing members earned a higher percentage than they did pre-pandemic in 2019.

"Ensemble is thrilled to announce another year of profit sharing, smashing expectations and reaffirming our unwavering commitment to member prosperity,” said Michael Johnson, president of Ensemble. “Innovation and profitability are in our DNA, and this stellar outcome is proof of our relentless dedication to delivering on and exceeding the promises we've made to our members."

The organization credits the notable increase in payouts to its strategic focus on bolstering profitability and the utilization of its proprietary booking platform, ADX, which continues to deliver above-average margins for members.

Several advisor members praised Ensemble's efforts in driving profitability and providing travel advisor resources, with Ross Spalding, president of Crown Cruise Vacations, noting that "Ensemble has committed itself to helping travel agencies become more profitable, not only through profit sharing but also through marketing, technology and consumer-facing programs."

Over the past two years, Ensemble has undergone a comprehensive transformation as it was acquired by Navigatr Group, introducing programs across various verticals that include extensive training and development, exclusive strategic partnerships, revitalized marketing efforts and a tech stack anchored by the ADX platform.

"Ensemble's profit sharing commitment demonstrates its passion for helping members achieve maximum profitability,” said Jeff Oestreich, president of Goldrush Getaways. “The entire Ensemble team is fully engaged, committed, and truly passionate about the success of its members."
