Description

Trade Secrets is on hiatus. New episodes will be out this October, but in the mean time, we're bringing you some of our favorite episodes every other week. Here's one of them!
These days, there seem to be more host agencies than ever. Even before the pandemic, more and more travel advisors were driven to work for themselves as independent contractors (ICs). That was fueled further by Covid-19, which drove many to move their employees to IC status. The pandemic also gave entrepreneurial companies and individuals time to launch new host agencies entirely. But with so many hosts out there, how do you choose the right one? And when it’s time to make a change, how do you break up with your current host agency? This week, Trade Secrets co-hosts Emma Weissmann and Jamie Biesiada get into the thick of hosts with Andy Ogg, co-owner of FindaHostTravelAgency.com.

Welcome to Trade Secrets, a podcast from the editors of Travel Weekly and TravelAge West, where travel advisors ask -- and answer -- questions. On each podcast, our editors will ask a veteran travel advisor to join them and field listeners’ questions. Topics will range from business advice to industry trends, history and more — as long as it’s travel-related, we want to address it! Find Trade Secrets wherever you get your podcasts, or at travelweekly.com/podcasts. ABOUT YOUR HOSTS: Jamie Biesiada is a senior editor with Travel Weekly.
