Why Partner With Arizona’s Premier Host Agency?

When you are looking to join a host travel agency, you are choosing a partner for your business. The right qualifications and accolades are not just for show—they are direct signals of our purchasing power, our elite supplier relationships, our professionalism, and the level of dedicated support you will receive as a member of our team.

While we are proud to be an Arizona-based host agency, our strength comes from our national and global affiliations. Here are the top-tier qualifications that make us the most appealing choice for travel entrepreneurs looking to build a successful business.

The “Must-Haves”: Core Industry Accreditations

These are the non-negotiable qualifications that prove an agency is legitimate and recognized by all suppliers. We hold these master accreditations so you can use our booking numbers to earn top commissions from day one.

• IATA / IATAN: (International Air Transport Association Network) The most recognized accreditation, essential for booking air travel and global suppliers.
• CLIA: (Cruise Lines International Association) The key accreditation for the entire cruise industry. This is the number cruise lines use to identify you and pay your commission.
• ARC: (Airlines Reporting Corporation) The US-based accreditation for ticketing with all major airlines.
