Travel Leaders Network, North America's largest travel advisor network, has reported significant growth in the first half of 2024, adding 187 new travel agencies to its membership, including both "Associates" (franchise members) and "Affiliates."
These new agencies have contributed $350 million in preferred supplier sales.
"Agencies are flocking to Travel Leaders Network for a variety of reasons, but what we hear most often is that our programs and services are second to none," said Roger E. Block, President of Travel Leaders Network.
Resources offered to members include a booking tools for cruise specialists or non-GDS users; an “Agent Profiler” lead-generation tool used for finding new clients; specialist certifications; educational programming; perks for top producers; marketing engagement; and access to hotel, resort, cruise and in-country partner programs.
"Any type of agency, from big to small, broad to boutique, can find resources that help them build their agency and put more money in their pockets," Block added. "While our membership as a whole is already quite strong, these new travel agencies are crucial additions to our network. They bring with them strong travel sales expertise, and I'm eager to see how our offerings enhance their profitability. Their fresh ideas and experiences will bolster our organization, as well."
Travel Leaders Network provides services in leisure and luxury travel, business travel, honeymoon and destination weddings, as well as active and adventure travel.
