Who is behind Masters in Travel?

Hey everyone, I’m Whitney! 

When I first decided I wanted to pursue a business in the travel industry, I didn’t know what a consortia was and I didn’t know what a host agency was. My first business plan resembled that of a DMC more than a travel advisor because, although I started my career working in a 5* hotel in Shanghai, China, I didn't know anything about building a business as a travel advisor.

During my first two years of business, it often felt as if each decision I made and each strategy I implemented was a shot in the dark. As my business grew and I found my way, I figured things out, I learned a lot the hard way, and I often felt that I was operating in a silo and reinventing the wheel every step of the way. 

Let me clear, there isn’t one answer that anyone can provide that will just “make” your business succeed. A community can’t build your business for you. A community can’t be patient, dedicated and passionate for you. What a community can do is create a safe space where we are mutually supportive of each other and where we share our insights, our knowledge, and  experiences so that we can create, build, and scale our travel businesses side-by-side, with intention. 

I’ve created this space for you and I invite you to join us.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can anyone join? Is this community connected with a host agency or a consortia? The Masters in Travel Community + Think Tank is open to all travel advisors and has very intentionally been created separate from a host agency or consortia affiliation. We believe that we have the greatest learning opportunities when all minds come together and when resources are accessible to wide audience of travel advisors, at all points in their journey, building all types of businesses.

What if I’m interested to join the Masters in Travel Community but have not officially started my business? We are so excited you found us!
