WHY IT RATES: Never one to rest on its laurels – and in keeping with its reputation for helping its luxury advisors grow their businesses – Travel Experts launched a website that enables prospective clients to scout out agents based on specifics such as hotels, cruises and tours.

Travel Experts, the premier Host Agency with more than 600 independent advisors focusing on the luxury market, has launched a new website at www.TravelXperts.com to help consumers connect to advisors thereby generating increased business for members.
“Over the last 37 years, since 1989, we’ve brought together trusted travel professionals known for their expertise, connections, and highly personalized service,” said Sharon Fake, Executive Director of Travel Experts.
“Our new website is designed to help consumers find the right travel advisor for their specific needs,” said Fake.
The website enables consumers to look at hotels, cruises, tours and links to a roving list of advisors. The consumer can also search for advisors by location of the advisor or by subject matter or destination specialists.
The website heavily promotes Travel Experts’ affiliation with Virtuoso, the world’s premier luxury travel network specializing in luxury and experiential travel.
Virtuoso has preferred relationships with 2,500 of the world’s best hotels and resorts, cruise lines, airlines, tour companies and premier destinations and provides the Travel Experts’ advisors and their clients with exclusive perks, VIP amenities, rare experiences and privileged access to sights while vacationing in the U.S. and around the world.
Fake noted: “Consumers will find specialists in every style of travel, including custom vacations, family adventures, cruises, group travel, wellness retreats, corporate travel, and more to help them create their perfect journey.”
Travel Experts was established in 1989 with a business model that was unusual for its time -- a Host Agency built around supporting independent travel entrepreneurs. “Today, while host agencies have become more common, Travel Experts remains proud to be a pioneer in creating an environment where experienced advisors flourish as they create personalized vacations for their clients,” said Fake.
“With over 600 Independent Contractors by choice, our network remains intentionally selective, bringing together some of the most experienced, productive, and highly motivated professionals in the industry,” added Fake.
