Avoya Travel opens interest list for Elite 100 program

FT. LAUDERDALE, FLA. – Avoya Travel, one of the travel industry’s most innovative brands, has announced the opening of the interest list for the highly successful Avoya Elite 100 program. This launch coincides with Avoya’s 60 Years of Innovation celebration and offers up to $5,000 in bonus commission to 60 top-producing agencies that join Elite 100 during the promotional period. The interest list will be used to select the most successful and ambitious agency owners as Avoya continues its goal of creating the best travel network in the world. This opportunity represents the first time the general travel industry has been invited to join Elite 100.

Prior to announcing the interest list, Avoya opened Elite 100 to a select group of high-performing, existing Avoya Network members in late 2023, with over a hundred Independent Agencies participating. Avoya recently announced that the average Elite 100 agency has seen a staggering 44% increase in their share of the commission from bookings year over year. To ensure its members are the industry’s best, the limited-time interest list will kick off a thorough process to ensure that Independent Agencies invited to join Elite 100 uphold the cherished reputation of Avoya, a diligently protected asset that benefits Avoya’s entire network.

Elite 100 includes key competitive advantages over other host agencies through Avoya’s All-Inclusive Host model. In addition to earning 100% of the commission on bookings made with Avoya’s preferred suppliers for an agency’s personal clients, Elite 100 provides access to Avoya’s technology and services including its best-in-class marketing, unparalleled Live Leads program, proprietary app suite Agent Power, the highest support staff to agency ratio in the industry, and much more. Avoya also pays its network of advisors their commissions weekly and includes the industry-first Instant Commission program. All of these services are offered while not penalizing independent advisors with expensive royalties.

Avoya has long been known as a leader in innovation thanks to its patented technology, world-class support, and extensive services including industry-leading marketing and preferred supplier relations. Avoya’s marketing offering features Live Leads – travelers sent directly to its network of advisors. Avoya spends millions annually to generate these leads and provides them to its high-performing network members with a commission split rather than charging upfront lead fees. Avoya also offers the highest support staff ratio of any major competitor, which allows the Avoya Network to dramatically increase profitability.

“Avoya’s business model and award-winning services are designed to create the most profitable Independent Agencies in the industry and opening Elite 100 to like-minded, successful advisors extends our commitment to building the best network of travel sellers in the world,” said Jeff Anderson, Co-CEO of Avoya Travel. “Avoya Travel’s all-inclusive approach to offering an unbeatable value proposition to travel advisors through proprietary technology, marketing, support, and earning potential is further cemented by the addition of the Elite 100 program to our platform.”

The opening of the interest list to the Elite 100 program marks the latest advancement to Avoya’s growth and complements the Avoya Premier Commission program, which was announced at the 2024 Avoya Travel Conference earlier this month.

Current Avoya Network members are thrilled by the opportunity to further increase their earning opportunities with Avoya. “I was so impressed with Avoya’s commitment to the Avoya Network when I first heard about the Elite 100 commission plan. Not only did it make me feel recognized and valued by Avoya, but it will put some serious extra money into my pocket,” said Shawn Power, Owner of Your Trusted Travel Experts Ltd., a top-producing member of the Avoya Network. “Every year this will give my agency extra profits to put into my investment accounts for retirement and into my Independent Agency’s marketing efforts to bring even more clients to Avoya, so I see it as a win-win for both myself and Avoya. I expect this will attract other top sellers in the industry to Avoya and help grow the Avoya Network as well. A sincere big ‘thank you’ to Avoya. This is a game changer!”
