The Foundation
Think of a host agency as the foundation behind your travel business. Instead of trying to build everything from scratch, you partner with an established company like Archer Travel that provides the tools, technology, training, supplier relationships, and support you need to succeed.
You get to own and grow your own business while Archer handles many of the behind-the-scenes details like supplier partnerships, industry accreditation, commission processing, and ongoing education. That means you can spend your time doing what you enjoy most—helping clients plan amazing vacations, growing your business, and creating the lifestyle you've been dreaming about. Archer Travel has been a trusted leader in the travel industry since 1952, giving you the freedom of being your own boss with the confidence of having an experienced team behind you every step of the way.
Hi, I'm Amanda! I didn't come from the travel industry. Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent over 25 years owning and coaching a successful gymnastics business. While I loved what I did, I was ready for more freedom, flexibility, and a business that fit the life I wanted—not the other way around. I also loved to travel and wanted a career where I could save money on my own adventures while earning income helping others create unforgettable vacations. With no travel industry experience, I took a leap of faith and built a thriving home-based travel business from the ground up. Today, I have the freedom to work from anywhere, explore the world, and mentor others who want to do the same.
When you join my team, you're not just getting a sign-up link—you're gaining a mentor who remembers exactly what it's like to start from scratch. I'll be here to guide you, answer your questions, celebrate your successes, and help you build a business that fits your goals, whether you're looking for extra income or a full-time career. If you're ready to learn and excited about the possibilities, I'd love to help you create a business—and a lifestyle—you truly love.

Helping others create more freedom, flexibility, and a life they don't need a vacation from. Live life for yourself. ✈️💜
The opportunities are ENDLESS and we provide all of this to you!
EVO Plus is an exclusive wholesale booking platform available only to Archer and Evolution Travel advisors—it isn't available to the public. Because you have access to wholesale pricing, you can often offer your clients better value while setting your own profit margin. In many cases, your clients save money compared to public booking sites, and you earn your income immediately at the time of booking. It's another powerful tool that gives you more flexibility, greater earning potential, and the ability to create competitive vacation packages for your clients.
One of the biggest advantages of partnering with Archer Travel is access to hundreds of trusted travel suppliers around the world. From Disney, Expedia TAAP, Carnival Cruise Line, Sandals Resorts, Royal Caribbean, Universal, and thousands more, you'll have access to the same booking tools and advisor resources used by travel professionals across the industry. You're free to work with the suppliers that best fit your clients' needs—and as your business grows, you can even apply to partner with additional suppliers worldwide. More options mean better vacations for your clients and more opportunities to grow your business.
From day one, you'll receive your own personalized travel website—no web design or technical experience required. Share it with friends, family, and clients so they can explore destinations, request quotes, and book travel through your business. It's a professional online presence that's ready to use, allowing you to focus on growing your business instead of building a website from scratch.
Your personalized affiliate links allow clients to book cruises, excursions, hotels, equipment rentals, concerts, sporting events, all-inclusive resorts, and more—while you earn commissions automatically. Simply share your links on your website, social media, or with clients. When someone books through them, you get paid without having to personally make the reservation. It's a great way to create additional income while your business continues working for you.
Owning your own travel business may provide valuable tax advantages that aren't available to traditional employees. Depending on your situation, expenses such as business travel, training, a home office, marketing, internet, and other business-related costs may be tax deductible. Because every situation is different, I always recommend working with a qualified tax professional to understand which deductions apply to you and how to maximize your business benefits.
The savings don't stop with travel! As an advisor, you'll have access to an exclusive discount directory featuring savings on movie tickets, dining, attractions, dry cleaning, shopping, entertainment, and much more. It's just one more perk that helps you save money on everyday purchases while enjoying the benefits of owning your own travel business.

Most people think travel agents just wait for a payout. Here's what's actually available to you.
***Travelers never pay extra to use your services. Your earnings come directly from supplier partnerships Arch has built over 75 years.
EVO Plus gives you access to wholesale travel pricing. You find the trip, set your own margin, invoice your client, and collect your earnings on the spot — no waiting for supplier payout cycles. A trip that costs $2,000 wholesale can be sold for $4,000. Your client saves money compared to booking online. You pocket the difference. You're in control.
Book through any of 100+ supplier portals — cruises, hotels, all-inclusives, tours, and more. Commissions are paid after your client travels, distributed by Archer on the 15th and last day of each month. Cruises pay 16–22%, hotels and packages average 10–17%.
Share your personal affiliate links and earn commissions when clients book themselves — cruises, excursions, equipment rentals, concerts, sporting events, all-inclusives, and more. You don't have to touch the booking. The link does the work.
When you mentor others into the business, you earn residual income each month — completely separate from and on top of your booking earnings. Think of it like a referral bonus that keeps paying. Build a team, build a legacy.
Being a travel advisor isn't just about what you earn for others — it's about what opens up for you. Your credentials unlock a world of perks that most people never get access to.
You're probably already booking vacations, cruises, and trips — you're just not getting paid for them. As an agent, book your own personal travel through your supplier portals and earn commission on it. Every trip you were going to take anyway just became a paycheck.
Travel agent rates with hotels and cruise lines mean you're often paying a fraction of what the public pays — for the same cabins, the same rooms, the same experience.
Familiarization trips let you experience destinations, ships, and resorts firsthand — often at deeply discounted or complimentary rates. You travel so you can sell what you know.
Your agent credentials unlock discounted tickets to theme parks and attractions — perks that extend to you and your family, not just your clients.
Earn a complimentary cruise for two as you build your business. It's one of the rewards built into the opportunity — because we believe you should experience what you're selling.
As an agent, you're not charging yourself a markup — you get the wholesale price outright. That $5,000 trip the public pays for? You get it for $2,000. That's $3,000 back in your pocket on a single trip. Nobody else is offering this.
Dinner on a cruise ship. Dressed up. Somewhere in the middle of the ocean. Moments like this remind us why we chose this path. We get to help people create unforgettable vacations while building a business that gives us the freedom to travel, work from anywhere, and spend more time doing what we love. This isn't just a career—it's a lifestyle we never imagined was possible.

Do I need experience to become a travel advisor?
Not at all! I had zero experience in the travel industry when I started. I simply loved to travel and wanted a career that gave me more freedom, flexibility, and adventure. Whether you're brand new or have experience in sales, customer service, hospitality, or another field, we'll teach you everything you need to know. Between Archer's industry-leading training and my personal mentorship, you'll never be left to figure things out on your own.
How do commissions work?
You earn commissions every time you book eligible travel for your clients. Archer pays commissions directly to you twice each month, and travelers never pay extra for using a travel advisor. Cruises, resorts, hotels, tours, vacation packages, and more all offer commission opportunities, making it possible to build a real income while helping people create unforgettable vacations. With the most popular enrollment option, you'll earn 80% of the commission paid by the travel supplier.
Can I do this part-time?
Absolutely! One of my favorite things about this business is that it fits around your life—not the other way around. There are no quotas, no required hours, and no pressure to quit your current job. Many advisors begin by booking travel during evenings and weekends before deciding whether they want to grow into a full-time business. That's exactly how I started.
Can I earn money by referring others?
Yes—but only if that's something you want to do. Think of it like referring a friend for a job or recommending a business you genuinely love. If someone you refer decides to join our team, you'll receive referral income in addition to any travel commissions you earn. Some advisors focus solely on booking travel. Others enjoy mentoring and building a team. There isn't a right or wrong path—you get to choose what works best for you.
What kind of support will I receive?
This is where I believe our team is different. You'll have access to Archer's incredible training platform, live webinars, supplier education, and booking support—but you'll also have me. When I started, I built this business from the ground up, and now I love helping others do the same. I'm very hands-on with my team and genuinely want to see you succeed. You'll have guidance, encouragement, resources, and someone you can actually reach out to when questions come up. You're never building your business alone.
Who can become a travel advisor?
If you're at least 18 years old and live in one of our eligible countries, you can apply to join our team. We currently welcome advisors from the **United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, much of Europe, Mexico, Central America, South America, and many Caribbean nations. **If you're unsure whether your country is eligible, just reach out and I'll be happy to check for you.
What does it cost to get started?
There are three enrollment options depending on your goals and how quickly you'd like to grow.
- EVO Basics is $69.99 to enroll plus a $69.99 monthly business administration fee. It's a great entry point if you're just getting started. You'll earn 50% of commissions, receive your own personal booking website, access to over 100 travel suppliers, a business back office, training, and ongoing support.
- EVO Essentials is $89.99 to enroll plus an $89.99 monthly business administration fee. This is the option I recommend for most new advisors and is our most popular choice. You'll earn 80% of commissions while receiving everything included in EVO Basics, along with a higher commission split from day one. You can also upgrade from Basics at any time.
- EVO Bundle is $299 to enroll plus the $89.99 monthly business administration fee. It includes everything in EVO Essentials, plus more than $1,350 in travel perks, including cruise credits, hotel credits, flight credits, dining and resort credits, a convention ticket, and entry into monthly Hawaii vacation giveaways.
Which option is right for me?
Don't worry—you don't have to decide today. That's exactly why I offer a free information session. We'll talk about your goals, answer all of your questions, and help you decide whether this opportunity is the right fit for you. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just honest answers so you can make the best decision for yourself.
Why did I become a travel advisor?
I didn't come from the travel industry. For over 20 years, I owned and operated a successful gymnastics business before deciding I wanted more freedom, flexibility, and the ability to experience more of the world with my family. I started this business while still working another job and built it one booking at a time. Today, I help my clients create incredible vacations while mentoring others who want to build a business that gives them the freedom to work from anywhere and design a life they truly love. If I can do it, you can too. I'd love to help you take that first step.
