How We Help Advisors Build Real Businesses (Not Just Side Hustles)

There’s a blurry line in the travel industry between “building a business” and “dabbling in travel.” And the truth is, most host agencies don’t bother drawing that line. Because for them, it doesn’t really matter whether you’re all in or just doing enough to get by—as long as you’re paying your monthly fees and generating bookings, you’re profitable to them.

At Rainbow Getaways Travel Network, we see it differently.

We’re not here to enable hobbyists. We’re here to support advisors who want to build something real.

The Difference Is in the Mindset

What separates a hobbyist from a business owner isn’t always their sales numbers—it’s how often they’re thinking about their business. The advisors we work best with are the ones who wake up thinking about their brand, their leads, their workflows. They’re the ones who see travel advising as their thing, not just something they do “when they have time.”

When they meet someone new, they can’t help but start talking about travel—where they’ve been, what they’re planning, what’s inspiring them lately. Because when you genuinely love this work, it shows. That passion is what draws people in. Clients want to work with someone who doesn’t just book travel, but lives and breathes it.

They’re not waiting for the phone to ring—they’re building momentum every day.

And that’s exactly the kind of mindset we’re built to support.

What Real Support Looks Like

A lot of host agencies promise “support,” but what they actually offer is access to a generic email inbox or a monthly webinar no one really watches.

At RBGTN, support means direct, intentional connection. For tenured advisors, that means monthly one-on-one coaching sessions with me to stay aligned on strategy, troubleshoot challenges, and keep your momentum strong. Need more support? Just ask. I’m always a message away when something comes up or you need to talk it through.

You’re not routed through an 800 number or a faceless support queue—you get personalized, actionable insight from someone who actually knows your business.

We’ve also built deep partnerships with major players in the travel space—plus smaller, boutique DMCs and suppliers—so you have access to both the scale and the specialty needed to deliver amazing client experiences. And while we love when you use our preferreds, we’ll never stop you from going outside the list if that’s what your clients need. We’ll even help you get onboarded.

Real Tools, Vetted by Someone Who’s Been There

We’ve hand-picked our systems to make your business simpler, not more complicated:

• Travel Industry Solutions provides embedded, auto-updating legal disclaimers and client agreement templates.

• Tern, our CRM platform, handles trip management, client communication, and commission tracking—all in one login.

• And everything else we recommend? Personally vetted. No fluff, no upsell, no affiliate-first distractions. Just tools that work.

If you’re new to the industry, we’ll walk alongside you as you complete the TRIPKIT program, helping you connect what you’re learning to real-world scenarios. You’re not memorizing theory—you’re building confidence, strategy, and systems as you go.

Your Brand, Your Voice, Your Business

One of the biggest misconceptions in our industry is that branding freedom is a burden.

It’s not. It’s the foundation of your future.

The advisors who grow fastest in our network are the ones who build brands that speak to their purpose and their people. Sure, some folks try to shortcut it with the first travel-friendly name they can think of—but the ones who take the time to get it right? Those are the brands that grow deep and scale fast.

We don’t hand you a prefab identity. We give you the space, the tools, and the coaching to build one that actually fits.

We Don’t Build Your Business for You. But We Build It With You.

You won’t find out-of-the-box workflows here. What we do provide are smart starting points, housed inside Tern, that help you lay the groundwork for something truly custom. And when you need help? I—and the other advisors in the network—are here to talk it through with you.

If you’re serious about doing the work, we’re serious about helping you make it stick.

Real Advisors. Real Results.

We’ve seen what’s possible when an advisor fully commits to building their business. One of our members leaned into that mindset from day one—getting their systems in place, refining their brand, and staying consistent. When their partner was unexpectedly laid off, their business was strong enough to carry them through.

That didn’t happen by chance. It happened because they treated it like a business from the start—and had a network that had their back when it counted.

That’s what we do here. And that’s who we’re for.

You already know this is more than a side hustle. If you’re building a travel business that reflects your ambition and values, it’s time to join a host that’s doing the same. Let’s build the business you were meant to lead—together.
