Why Choose Academy Travel?
Experience Matters. Education Matters. People Matter.
Choosing a travel agency is one of the most important decisions you’ll make, whether you’re building a career as a travel professional or trusting someone to help plan your family’s vacation.
At Academy Travel, we believe success isn’t measured simply by the number of vacations booked or the highest commission percentage. It’s measured by the relationships we build, the knowledge we share, the support we provide, and the unforgettable experiences we help create.
For nearly 30 years, that philosophy has guided everything we do.
Since 1999, Academy Travel has grown into one of the nation’s most respected travel organizations by focusing on what matters most: investing in people. We invest in our travel advisors through education, technology, mentorship, and dedicated support, and we invest in our clients by ensuring every vacation is planned with care, expertise, and attention to detail.
Our goal has never been to become the biggest travel agency.
Our goal has always been to become one of the most trusted.
A Foundation Built on Disney Excellence
Disney is where Academy Travel began, and it continues to be the foundation of who we are.
As a Diamond Level Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, Academy Travel has spent decades helping families experience the magic of Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, and Aulani.
Our advisors receive ongoing education, destination updates, and professional development designed to ensure every Disney vacation reflects the high standards our clients expect.
Disney isn’t simply one of the vacations we sell.
It is part of our company’s identity.
Growing Beyond Disney
Families grow, and so do their travel dreams.
Many of our clients begin with a Disney vacation before exploring cruises, Europe, luxury travel, National Geographic Expeditions, guided tours, and destinations around the world.
As those dreams evolve, Academy Travel grows with them.
Through Academy Travel Worldwide, our advisors help clients explore extraordinary destinations across the globe while continuing to provide the same personalized service and expertise that define our company.
Education Creates Confidence
Exceptional travel advisors aren’t born.
They are educated, mentored, and supported.
That’s why Academy Travel continues to invest in Academy Travel University, providing structured education, destination training, business development, technology instruction, supplier education, and continuing professional growth.
We believe knowledgeable advisors create exceptional client experiences, and exceptional client experiences build successful businesses.
Education isn’t an event.
It’s a lifelong commitment.
Real Support Makes the Difference
Behind every successful travel advisor is a team committed to helping them succeed.
Academy Travel’s dedicated full-time staff provides operational support, supplier assistance, marketing guidance, technology resources, accounting, commission processing, onboarding, and business development.
When our advisors have questions, they know they’re supported by experienced professionals who genuinely care about their success.
We succeed when our advisors succeed.
Technology That Helps You Grow
Technology should make running a business easier, not more complicated.
Academy Travel continually invests in innovative tools that help advisors communicate with clients, manage reservations, access educational resources, organize their business, and deliver exceptional service.
As our industry evolves, we remain committed to providing technology that helps our advisors stay competitive while allowing them to focus on what matters most: building relationships with their clients.
A Career, Not Just a Commission
Many organizations compete by advertising commission percentages.
We choose a different path.
At Academy Travel, we believe lasting success comes from education, professional development, business growth, and meaningful support.
Through Academy Launch, Academy Professional, Academy Partner, and Academy Travel Worldwide, advisors have opportunities to continue learning, expanding their expertise, and building businesses that grow year after year.
Our focus isn’t simply helping advisors earn more.
It’s helping them become better professionals.
A Community Built on Collaboration
Travel is a relationship business, and no one succeeds alone.
Academy Travel is built on collaboration, mentorship, and shared success.
Through conferences, webinars, Academy Travel University, ongoing education, and daily interaction with our leadership and support teams, advisors become part of a professional community that encourages learning, celebrates achievement, and supports one another.
We believe collaboration creates stronger advisors, stronger businesses, and better client experiences.
Why Travelers Choose Academy Travel
Everything we do for our advisors ultimately benefits our travelers.
Knowledgeable advisors provide better recommendations.
Well-trained advisors anticipate challenges before they happen.
Experienced advisors create vacations tailored to each family’s unique interests, budget, and goals.
Families choose Academy Travel because they know they’re working with trusted professionals who care as much about their vacation as they do.
The Academy Travel Difference
We believe that trust is earned through consistency, education, and experience.
We believe relationships matter more than transactions.
We believe every advisor deserves the opportunity to build a meaningful career with the support of an organization that believes in their potential.
Most of all, we believe that every vacation has the power to create memories that last a lifetime.
That belief has guided Academy Travel for nearly three decades, and it continues to inspire everything we do today.
Whether you’re planning the vacation of a lifetime or beginning a career you’ll be proud of, we’d be honored to welcome you to Academy Travel.
