What sets it apart

Members start their own branded agency rather than trading under the host’s brand.

Who it suits

Open to newcomers — the company’s stated position is “yes — described as suitable for people “completely new to travel””.

The company mixes models, so its fees and commission terms may not line up neatly with a straight commission split.

How customers’ money is protected

This matters to you as well as to your clients: it determines who is liable if a supplier or the company itself fails.

ATOL: Held for members — licence number not published. An ATOL licence protects the money customers pay for package holidays that include a flight, and covers getting them home if the company fails.

ATOL held on members’ behalf.

Ownership and background

The research source describes the model as a consortium or franchise in which members run their own agency under an umbrella, which is why it is grouped here as a hybrid. Now part of The Travel Network Group and no longer connected to dnata, per the company’s own site. No pricing is published.
