At some point in your journey as a travel advisor or agency owner, you’re bound to take a moment to reflect, make strategic decisions, and invest in your business’s growth. 

One of those pivotal choices is deciding which host agency to partner with. Here is something to consider: joining a global brand can unlock a world of opportunities and benefits for both you and your business.

Here at Independent by Flight Centre (IFC), we are the only host agency that’s truly global in scope. We’re not just

another player in the field; we’re the real deal. 

Currently, we’re the driving force behind more than 1,500 advisors and agencies across Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Our expansive reach provides agency owners with access to a vast array of global products, top-tier commissions, unwavering support, and cutting-edge systems to streamline and enhance your operations.

But the perks don’t stop there. As part of our community, you’ll also gain access to some incredible travel opportunities, such as exclusive familiarization trips, conferences, and well-deserved recognition excursions for our top advisors. We passionately promote travel, celebrate our advisors’ achievements, incentivize outstanding results, and actively contribute to the growth of our travel agency owners’ businesses.

Recently, our top advisors embarked on an unforgettable journey aboard Uniworld’ s SS Beatrice, cruising down the beautiful Danube from Budapest to Vienna, with fantastic excursions at each port of call.

And here’s the scoop for 2024: Our Independent Advisors from around the globe will converge at our inaugural Global Independent Advisors conference in Santiago, Chile next year. It’s a chance to connect, learn, and celebrate with colleagues from all corners of the world.

In addition to these fantastic opportunities, our agencies and members enjoy some extra perks, like having their ACTA membership included when they join us. This opens doors to exclusive learning experiences, such as the recent Avalon Cruise – we’re all about expanding horizons.

But being a member of Independent by Flight Centre isn’t just about the travel perks (although, let’s be honest, they’re awesome!). We’ve got your back when it comes to improving processes and lightening the load on administrative tasks. Alongside essentials like CRM, itinerary builders, and our iReach marketing platform, we’re gearing up to launch our HOME digital ecosystem and TPConnects for booking NDC content in the new year. We’re all about making your work life smoother.

Thanks to our global focus and substantial investments, our National Sales Director, Michael Roque, has noticed a remarkable uptick in inquiries from agency owners who want to align with a Global Brand and grow their business in partnership with someone as dedicated to their success as they are. 

We encourage advisors to take a moment to assess their current situation and consider the opportunities that lie ahead. 

If you find that your current path isn’t aligning with your aspirations, it may be the right time to explore new avenues and find partners who share your dedication to success.
