In addition to the new user experience for individuals seeking a host, the Host Travel Agencies also now have a completely new Portal, allowing them to update their profiles in real time. “This new Host Agency Portal will allow Host Agencies to modify and maximize the information shared on their profile any time they need to, ensuring that prospective Travel Professionals have the most up to date information before making an important decision for their travel business,” said Joanie Ogg CTC, MCC and Co-founder of the site. “This is such an exciting time in the travel community and the independent agent is truly leading the growth and development. We are thrilled to be helping to make the best connections possible.”
