Am I the right fit for
Rainbow Getaways Travel Network?
Rainbow Getaways is built for experienced advisors who are ready to scale with purpose. If you’re already building your brand, producing consistent revenue, and looking for a host that respects your expertise — we might be the right fit.
​
We’re not here for hobbyists or order takers. We’re here for travel pros who are serious about growing something real.
Successful advisors dedicate time to learning, engaging with clients, understanding their preferred partners, and upholding ethical interactions. Even if Rainbow Getaways isn’t the right fit, we want every advisor to find the best home — and we recommend exploring options like Host Agency Reviews.
Do I have to sell under the Rainbow Getaways name?
No. As a tenured advisor, you’ll sell under your own brand. We support brand ownership because we believe your voice and vision deserve to lead.
What does it cost to join RBGTN?
You’ll pay a one-time startup fee of $195 and an annual technology fee of $548. That covers your onboarding, system access, and everything you need to get started with intention.
​
We keep fees simple, transparent, and tied to real value.
What’s included in my technology fee?
Your $548 annual fee gives you access to the core systems and support you need to run a professional, independent travel business:
​
-
Tern — CRM, itinerary builder, and commission tracking
-
Travel Industry Solutions — client-facing contracts and legal docs
-
Ensemble membership benefits — including client amenities, preferred contracts, and air desk access
-
Supplier access and booking credentials
-
Commission management and reporting
-
Ongoing tech training and business support tools
You bring the brand — we back it with the infrastructure.
Can I use my own systems instead of Tern?
Yes, you’re welcome to use your own CRM or itinerary builder if they better serve your workflow. However, all payments must be authorized through a secure, PCI-compliant tool, and all bookings must be entered into Tern to ensure commissions are processed properly.
What is the commission split?
At RBGTN, we start by honoring your past success. When you join, you’ll be placed at the commission tier that matches your proven traveled revenue with your current or previous host — because your experience should count from day one.​
Annual Traveled Revenue
$0 - $249,999
$250k - $499,999
$500k - $749,999
$750k+
Commission
Split
80/20%
85/15%
90/10%
​100/0% — flat annual fee applies
This isn’t about proving yourself again — it’s about scaling what you’ve already built.
Can My Commission Tier Change Over Time?
Yes. Your commission tier is based on your previous year’s traveled revenue. If your production increases, you’ll move up. If it decreases, we’ll work with you on a growth strategy or help determine if our New Advisor track is a better fit.
A Note on the 100/0% Tier
If you’re producing $750k+ in annual traveled revenue, you’ve earned full commission. We offer a 100/0 split with a flat annual fee that reflects the value of full retention — while still giving you access to all the tools, support, and supplier relationships RBGTN offers.
Let’s talk — we’ll tailor the right structure to fit your goals and scale with you.
Do I need to carry my own E&O Insurance?
Yes. Because you’ll be selling under your own brand, you’re required to carry your own professional E&O insurance starting day one. Rainbow Getaways LLC must be listed as an interested party, and proof of coverage is required before onboarding can be completed.
We take this seriously because you’re building a real business — and protecting it matters.
Are there sales requirements?
We don’t set sales quotas — but we are a network built for producers. To remain in the Tenured tier, advisors must maintain at least $250k in annual traveled revenue.
If your production drops below that threshold, you may be placed on a probationary track with additional check-ins and support to help you get back on course. We’re invested in your success — but we expect you to be, too.
Not there yet, but driven to grow? Let’s talk. Our New Advisor program may be the better path to start strong.
Do I need to participate in trainings or meetings?
Yes. Participation in monthly check-ins, network-wide updates, and annual in-person events is expected.
These aren’t fluff calls—they’re designed to help you grow intentionally, stay current on industry and supplier shifts, and fully engage with the RBGTN community. Recordings are available if you can’t attend live, but showing up is where the momentum happens. Watching later is helpful, but it won’t create the same clarity, connection, or growth.
Annual in-person events are especially important—they give you the space to step out of day-to-day tasks and into big-picture strategy, meaningful relationships, and hands-on collaboration. This is where breakthroughs happen. When you surround yourself with other high-performing advisors, you level up faster.
Your success is our priority—and staying plugged in is part of that.
Will I be a W-2 employee or an independent contractor?
All advisors are 1099 Independent Contractors. You control your business, your schedule, your clients, and your growth. We provide the tools and support to help you scale — but you’re in charge.
How and when do I get paid?
We pay commissions twice per month via direct deposit. You’re paid after travel has occurred and the funds are received from the supplier.
Who can apply
All Independent Travel Advisors of Rainbow Getaways must be US residents living in the United States (excluding Hawaii and Washington).
What Kind of Support Will I Have?
You’ll be part of a high-performing community of experienced travel advisors who celebrate wins, share insights, and support one another with intention. We don’t just give you tools—we back them with expert guidance and collaborative momentum.
Here’s what you can expect:
-
A private advisor community that prioritizes connection and accountability
-
Monthly strategy calls focused on business development and sustainable growth
-
Ongoing partner training and supplier updates to keep your knowledge sharp
-
Access to legal templates, tech tools, and systems that evolve with your business
This isn’t hand-holding—it’s smart, high-level support designed to help you scale with purpose.
Can I bring my team or assistant under my account?
Team access is limited to high-producing advisors. If you’re earning at least $750k in annual traveled revenue, you may sponsor sub-agents under your account. We’ll work with you to structure your team in a way that maintains clarity, compliance, and efficiency.
That said, you don’t need to wait to bring on support. You’re welcome to hire virtual assistants, content writers, social media experts, or any other business support as soon as you’re ready. We encourage it—building a team is often a key step in scaling your business intentionally.
Is there a background check?
Yes, because you'll have regular access to your clients' personal and payment information, we conduct a background check before setting up your accounts.
Do you offer discounts for military veterans?
We proudly honor the service of active-duty military members, veterans, and their spouses. As a thank you, we offer a $50 credit toward your initial setup fee for those who qualify.
Is there a contract or long-term commitment?
We don’t believe in locking you in — we believe in earning your loyalty. Our agreements are annual, but you’re free to leave at any time. That said, we’re confident you’ll stay because the value is clear.
