The Travel Center / Corporate Travel

Information About Company / Programs and Structure for Independent Agents

The Travel Center Founded in 1984, one of the very first HOST agencies in the US. Worked with Gary Fee, President / Founder of OSSN to establish the home base agent as a professional travel advisor with all travel vendors. Chris Morse has been the OSSN Director in Los Angeles and New York/New Jersey. He has worked in every aspect of travel from being a vendor to a large corporate account to being voted as one of the top travel advisors in the industry. The Travel Center is family owned and operated, not a corporate HOST. Every agent that works with our agency becomes not only successful but a family member. 55 of our current agents have been with us for over 15 years. That is a tremendous testimonial. Unlike corporate HOSTS that have to support all the trade shows and advertising that they do, The Travel Center uses its funds to further the education of its agents, FAM trips, and one on one support. Without the support of our independent agents The Travel Center would not be as successful as it is. The Travel Center does not make any money until you make money! So our #1 goal is to make you successful, not just take your dues and fees. Think about this: If all the agents looking for support at one of the corporate HOST called at the same time, you would get absolutely no response. Call The Travel Center almost 24/7 and you will get a live person or mentor to help with your bookings. We have all the programs that you need to be successful. You do not have to use any of the great travel agent programs, just use the ones that fit your business model. We can help create your business program and make you successful with a marketing/goal oriented program. Our Program With our membership we include the following which most HOSTS do not include:
