A Different Kind of Host Agency

Most host travel agencies make money in two ways: from the commissions their agents generate, and from the monthly and annual fees they charge, regardless of whether those agents are earning anything at all.
 

BNT Travel Group was built on a different premise. We make money when you make money. That is not a slogan - it is the architecture of our entire business model. There are no monthly fees, annual subscription charges, or recurring costs to remain active. The only financial commitment we ask for is a one-time $299 registration fee, which is fully refundable when you earn your first $350 or more in commissions within the first 3 months after signing up.
 

That structure means our interests are entirely aligned with yours from day one. We succeed when you succeed.

BNT Travel Group has operated as a professional host travel agency since 2004.
We are headquartered in Brooklyn, NY and affiliated with Travel Leaders Network - one of the largest travel consortia in North America, representing over 5,700 agencies and more than 100,000 travel advisors across the United States and Canada.

​

The Registration Fee. Why It Is Effectively Free?

We charge a one-time registration fee of $299. Here is exactly what that means and what it covers.

The fee covers registering you with our vendor partners, setting up your agent credentials and booking access, and processing your enrollment in our program and the Travel Leaders Network system. It is not a membership fee. It is not a subscription. It does not recur.
 

More importantly, the fee is fully refundable.
When your total accumulated commissions actually received from vendors reach $350 or more within three months of sign-up, BNT Travel Group refunds the $299 in full. Our legal agreement with every agent guarantees this refund in writing.
That means with a reasonable level of effort and one or two early bookings, the program costs you nothing. We charge the fee for three specific reasons: to cover the real administrative costs of onboarding, to confirm your genuine commitment to building a travel business, and to ensure that the agents we bring on are approaching this as a serious professional opportunity.

We do not offer discounts on the registration fee and we cannot defer it to future commissions. But we stand behind the refund guarantee fully and unconditionally for qualifying agents.

​

Commission Splits That Put You First

Commission income is the foundation of a travel advisor's earnings.
The percentage split between you and your host agency directly determines how much of every booking you actually keep.

BNT Travel Group offers commission splits of up to 90/10 in favor of the advisor, meaning you keep up to 90 percent of every commission paid by the vendor. All new agents start at an 80/20 split. Experienced advisors who can document prior travel sales volume are eligible for the 90/10 split upon verification.
 

To put that in concrete terms: on a vacation package where the vendor pays $667 in commission, an agent at 80% keeps $533.
An agent at 90% keeps $600. On a full year of consistent bookings, that difference compounds significantly.
 

Advancing to the 90/10 split is also achievable through performance.
Once an agent's total annual commissions exceed $15,000, the additional 10% is applied retroactively at year end. There is no cap on earnings.

For comparison, the industry average commission split at most host agencies is 70% to 80%. Many charge monthly fees on top of that.
With BNT, you start at 80% with no fees and a clear path to 90%.

​

Travel Leaders Network - Your Competitive Advantage from Day One

When you join BNT Travel Group, you do not just gain a host agency affiliation. You gain membership in Travel Leaders Network, the largest travel services marketing organization in North America.

Travel Leaders Network represents over 5,700 agencies and more than 100,000 travel advisors across North America. That collective volume gives every affiliated advisor access to supplier relationships, commission tiers, and booking programs that no individual agent could negotiate independently.
 

As a BNT advisor through Travel Leaders Network, you receive free access to:

Agent Profiler - the network's award-winning lead generation platform that connects you with consumers actively searching online for a travel advisor. 

Agent Universe - the centralized advisor portal where you manage bookings, access marketing resources and connect with vendor partners.

Cruise Complete - dedicated cruise booking tools with group rates, onboard credit programs, and preferred departure pricing.

SELECT Hotels and Resorts - preferred amenities and elevated commission rates at luxury and boutique properties worldwide.

Distinctive Voyages - exclusive onboard experiences on select cruise departures available only to Travel Leaders Network-affiliated advisors.

These are not supplementary perks. They are the tools that give BNT advisors a structural advantage over solo independent agents who do not have consortia access.

​

Free Training and Support - From Day One and Ongoing

Training in the travel industry is not a one-time event. Suppliers launch new products. Destinations open and close.
Visa requirements shift. Booking technology evolves. The advisors who stay current earn more and lose fewer clients to problems that could have been anticipated.
 

BNT Travel Group provides comprehensive training at no cost to any advisor at any stage of their career. From the moment you enroll, you have access to live webinars with vendor representatives, pre-recorded on-demand courses available around the clock, vendor-specific certification programs that open access to elevated commission tiers and preferred agent status, phone support directly from agency leadership, and ongoing education through

Travel Leaders Network's training programs and events.

While other host agencies charge hundreds of dollars for training modules and charge extra for certifications, BNT provides all of this free.
Most vendor training is delivered directly by our supplier partners at no cost to us or to you.

Training is not a product we sell. It is how we build agents who generate the booking volume that makes our business work.

​

Top Vendor Access Across Every Travel Category

Since 2004, BNT Travel Group has built preferred vendor relationships across every major travel category.
That history of consistent booking volume and professional conduct gives our advisors access to supplier portals, preferred commission agreements, and direct support that newer or smaller host agencies cannot offer.

BNT advisors have direct access to major cruise lines, including all the top brands in ocean, river, and expedition cruising, all-inclusive resort brands across the Caribbean, Mexico, and beyond, international and domestic tour operators, global hotel chains and boutique collections through Travel Leaders Network's hotel programs, airline booking systems for itinerary components, car rental partners, and travel insurance providers.

A full list of our preferred vendors and suppliers is available on the vendor page. Vendor access is activated upon enrollment - you are not waiting weeks or months for credentials to be processed.

​

Exclusive Agent Perks and FAM Trips

Professional travel advisors earn more than commissions.
One of the most valuable benefits of working in the travel industry is direct access to the destinations and properties you sell.

BNT Travel Group agents receive access to FAM trips - familiarization trips at industry rates that allow you to experience destinations, resorts, and cruise ships firsthand. That firsthand knowledge is one of the most powerful sales tools available to a travel advisor. Being able to tell a client exactly what a property looks, feels, and operates like from personal experience builds a level of trust and credibility that no brochure or website can match.

Additional perks include complimentary and discounted hotel nights through Travel Leaders Network's hotel programs, discounted agent airfare rates, cruise ship inspection opportunities, resort site visits, and VIP experiences at partner properties.
 

These benefits serve a dual purpose: they reward advisors who are actively engaged in building their business, and they build the product knowledge that directly improves booking quality and client satisfaction.

​

Built for Flexibility - Part-Time, Full-Time, and Everything In Between

BNT Travel Group is structured to serve advisors at every stage and level of commitment.

If you are currently employed and want to test the travel business before committing fully, you can start part-time with as little as three to five hours per week. There are no monthly sales quotas. The only activity requirement is generating $500 or more in agent commissions within any continuous six-month period to keep your account active.
 

If you are an experienced travel professional looking for a host with better commission terms and lower overhead, BNT offers the 90/10 split, no fees, and immediate vendor access. You bring the expertise and client base. We provide the infrastructure.

If you are completely new to travel and building from scratch, BNT provides the training, vendor access, lead generation tools, and support system to help you develop from zero to a functioning travel business without the financial pressure of monthly fees eating into your early income.

You work remotely, from anywhere in the United States, on your own schedule. You can register as an individual agent or as a travel business entity. You can operate under your own brand name while working under BNT's umbrella and credentials.

​

What BNT Travel Group Is Not

We do not distribute daily live leads or guarantee a client pipeline. We are an infrastructure provider, not a lead generation service on its own - though Travel Leaders Network's Agent Profiler does provide genuine inbound leads as one of many program benefits.

We are not an MLM company. There is no recruitment component, no downline structure, and no income tied to enrollment numbers.
Every dollar you earn comes from actual travel sales.
 

We are not a franchise. There are no territorial restrictions, franchise fees, or branded operating requirements.
You run your own travel business under BNT's accreditation and with BNT's vendor relationships on your terms.

We do not provide Errors and Omissions insurance. If E&O coverage is important to your operation, you will need to source that independently.

We do not specialize in standalone airline ticket sales. Air is available as a component of full travel packages and itineraries, but advisors whose primary focus is air-only ticketing will find BNT is not structured for that model.

​
