I started with KTTW because they seemed like the right fit when I started researching agencies. I started towards the beginning of KTTW and I’m so glad I found them. What started for me as a “let’s get some extra money to visit Disney” quickly became a thrilling career! To be honest, I didn’t join because they had great training programs or offered webinars with suppliers each week. No, in fact, I was pretty clueless when it came to those things. I’m grateful it was something that KTTW found important and offered (offers) their agents.
Their training program is incredible for new and seasoned agents. When you start, you’re assigned a mentor who helps walk you through a detailed training program that will set you up for success. Then, there could come a time in your career where you start to receive requests for places you’ve maybe never even heard of; enter the amazing KTTW family and continuing education programs! We have agents from all over the globe who help offer resources, personal experiences, and their time to help each other out when we need it.
I’ve been with KTTW for almost 9 years and can’t think of a better work home.

When I decided that I wanted to become a travel advisor, the decision on which travel agency to join was an easy one. I was fortunate enough to know someone who was already a travel advisor with Key to the World Travel and she spoke so highly of the agency!! I have now been with KTTW for over 7 years now and I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. Being at KTTW means being a part of a family of almost 600 agents. This means that you have the support of 600 other experts to go to for help and questions when needed!! For me this is a huge bonus!!
KTTW is different from other agencies because they put a lot of focus on education. They want to give you all the tools necessary to succeed and to grow a successful business. We have an amazing training program that allows you to feel confident in selling travel from day one! We have weekly trainings with suppliers and educational training on how to grow your business. We are all about teaching you to become the best advisor you can be for your clients and your business!! Over the years I have found most agencies do not do this, so I am super grateful for all the resources I have with KTTW!

Family is the word that immediately pops in my mind when I think about Key to the World Travel. Since I started with the company in 2016 I have seen our special group of like-minded world travelers and those with the adventurer’s spirit grow and flourish. While doing work that is incredibly rewarding, I have also made life long connections and amazing friendships with others who also love travel just as much as I do!
I love being a travel advisor because I find fun in the the challenge of putting the pieces together when planning travel. In a time where the options are seemingly endless when it comes to vacations, finding the perfect fit for my clients is the best feeling! KTTW is unique in the tremendous amount of support that they provide to their travel advisors through training, conferences, industry connections, with a community of hundreds of advisors who are eager and willing to help each other out. This is truly a family that lifts each other up and is the perfect fit for anyone who wants to turn their passion for travel into a positive impact in the lives of the clients that we assist every day!

If you’re considering becoming a Travel Advisor and wondering if Key to the World Travel (KTTW) is the right choice let me answer that for you. IT IS. From the very first interview, I had good feelings coming from every agent I interacted with. Even on a phone conversation it doesn’t take long to know if you will work well with the person on the other side of it. Something that sets KTTW apart from other agencies is the level of care we have for one another. Right from the start we provide you with education at a level that will have you ready to book most types of trips, even if you knew nothing about them before.
I’ve heard many stories about other agencies that hire you and then make you find your own education and say good luck. Not here. We put you with a Mentor who will guide you along the education program and be at your side for at least the first year, if not longer. You will find a family with here at KTTW. I really mean that too. KTTW is a family and that’s how we treat each other at events, FAMs, online, and at conferences. So if you’re ready to begin your dream career as a Travel Advisor click that apply now button and I can’t wait to talk to you.
