From Our Community

In the past four years I have learned more about running a travel agency than I did in the first 15 years of my career.

Honestly what sets Westa apart from other consortia, and I have friends at other consortia, is the way that they embrace their membership. They are interested in helping us succeed and the tools to do that.

Travel to Go

After almost losing my house due to another consortia going bankrupt, it took a while for the Westa staff to convince me to join. Once I did, I can honestly sat that it is the best business decision I have ever made.

That’s why I like being here, I’ve done the conferences and cruises and it is a bunch of truly professional people that are working to succeed and they don’t have the ego to say they have all the answers.

One of my favorite things about Westa are the events. We have an opportunity to network with all the other agents to talk about what is going on and what is successful.
