LEADS offered!
Andavo Travel offers leads to our independent contractors that are generated from our corporate, meetings & incentive side of the business.  These are actual clients of our agency  who are looking at doing vacation or leisure travel.  Andavo Travel does not employ any leisure travel consultants.  Our leisure consultants are our Independent Contractors.  Our lead to closure rate is among the highest as these clients already have an established relationship with our agency through their business travel.    We actively promote leisure travel within our corporate and meetings accounts.

 PLUS Membership benefits of:
VIRTUOSO, IT Group and BCD Travel offering Independent Travel Professionals over 200 commission vendor programs and 21,000 preferred hotels to choose from.  Our membership programs and company negotiated agreements offer substantially higher commissions earned, net agreements, upgrades & amenities, and even buy one-get one free offers from the most sought and used vendor operators WORLDWIDE.

Our Company Background:
Andavo Travel is the largest independent woman-owned travel company in Colorado and is ranked 6^th in the San Francisco Bay Area. And we continue to grow.  Beginning as a small leisure travel agency in 1982, the company was then purchased by Brenda Rivers in 1988 making it 100% woman owned.  Today, sales are $100MM and growing.  Our only standard is excellence-as demonstrated by our ISO 9002 certification, and we measure our success with every interaction.  In addition to Andavo’s Independent Contractor Network, “Elite Travel Professionals”, and Andavo Travel of Marin, Andavo also fulfills full agency services in areas of Andavo Corporate Travel, and Andavo Meeting & Incentives.

Our Awards of Service:
Companies and communities alike have noticed our accomplishments.  In 1999, the National Association of Woman Business Owners named Brenda Rivers, Andavo Travel’s President and CEO, as the “Business Owner of the Year” for the Rocky Mountain Region.  In 2000,  WORKING WOMEN magazine honored Ms. Rivers with awards for both Customer/Client Service and Social Responsibility, while the DENVER BUSINESS JOURNAL names her “Outstanding Business Woman of the Year.”  In 2001, Andavo Travel was chosen as Woman-Owned Business of the Year by the Colorado Federation of Business and Professional Women. In September 2006 Andavo Travels Independent Contractor program was listed in the top 10 host agency category by Agent@Home Magazine.  Andavo Travel became a Virtuoso member in 1999 and remains a member to this day through its excellence and achievements in travel.

Testimonials:
“Andavo Travel is much more supportive to the Independent agent . Andavo has an honest commitment to the success of the Independent. Not only support but input as to how to grow one’s business.”  – Kathy Hollister

“The high levels of service you provide is one of your standout features above other hosts. Coming up with ways for trying to increase your independent business, working with us to try and help improve our business.  Really trying to get involved vs. just letting us go on our own (unless we want to, of course)”  – Lonie Goutermont

“My colleagues are true professionals and have dedicated their professional lives to being travel consultants. Agents are active in the industry and pursuing professional education. We are given every benefit that we would receive as inside agents, but given the latitude to run our own business and foster our entrepreneurial spirit.”– Julia Elzie
