It’s no secret the travel industry is thriving, and both current and aspiring travel entrepreneurs are evaluating what matters in a host agency. Brownell has long set the industry standard for hosting travel entrepreneurs with unparallel support, deep-rooted relationships, and a collaborative community. Whether you are an entrepreneur interested in starting a new luxury travel business, a rising star ready to scale your operations, or a seasoned advisor seeking more support for your high-net-worth book of business, your path to success is personal. At Brownell, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model; instead, our three distinct pathways—Startup, Catalyst, and Hosting— are designed to meet you where you are and propel you forward. Let’s dive into the three programs and help you discover which is right for you!
Are you the one your family and friends go to for hotel recommendations and travel planning? Do you have a self-starter mindset with a love for sharing the world with your network? Transform that passion into a thriving business with Brownell Startup. Designed for those who have no prior experience in the industry but want to become a luxury travel advisor full-time, Brownell Startup has long set the standard for mentorship programs in the industry. As the first host agency to launch a program of this nature, we don’t just help professionals launch travel businesses, but ensure they have well-rounded support to grow and thrive through one-on-one coaching, live Q&A calls with our top partners, on-demand video and text modules from industry-leading experts, and more. If you have the vision and high travel IQ to launch your travel career but need the roadmap to build a legacy, Brownell Startup is for you.
Perhaps you’re a travel advisor just starting out but want to take your business to the next level. Or maybe your business launch did not gain the traction you were hoping for, and you’re looking for better resources and support to propel you forward. Brownell Catalyst may be for you! Brownell Catalyst is designed for travel advisors early in their career who are ready to not just grow their book of business but also increase their knowledge, education, and confidence in selling luxury travel with the support, powerful tools, and strong community Brownell is known for. Over six months, Catalyst Advisors participate in training modules, exclusive conference calls, luxury supplier certifications, and more all while our in-house team meets them where they are to support their growing business. If you are early in your luxury travel career but are ready to hit the gas pedal, discover how Brownell Catalyst meets you where you are to guide you on the path forward.
For the luxury travel advisor who has spent years cultivating a discerning clientele and a strong reputation, your needs shift from “how to build” to “how to thrive.” Brownell Hosting is designed specifically for the seasoned, high producer who values the autonomy of their own brand but recognizes the power of having a host agency like Brownell behind them. With one support member for every five advisors, Brownell provides a high level of service that reflects what you provide for your clients, offering robust support that handles the intricacies of the “back office.” Being part of Brownell Hosting also unlocks access to our extensive network of elite global partners and a community of talented advisors, giving you all the resources needed to do what you do best: crafting unforgettable journeys for your travelers. Whether you’re seeking better support for your high net-worth clients or a knowledgeable, collaborative community, check out Brownell Hosting.
Whether you are looking to launch your career or an established advisor, choosing the right host agency is a key factor in building and growing a successful travel business. While our three pathways differ, the core of all three centers around our values of integrity, excellence, passion, graciousness, innovation, and curiosity that make up Brownell. You aren’t just joining a host agency; you’re joining a 130-year legacy.
