Going on 3 years with Dugan's, and I can't imagine doing this job without them! I was able to meet some of the team this year at an event, and i fell in love with the company even more.

I have learned a great deal with Dugan's travel. The best part about the agency is the training. Whether face to face or online to provide you with the tools to be successful... - Lisa

I have been with Dugan's for over 11 years and did extensive research prior to joining Dugan's Travels. Working as an independent travel agent was new to me, so the training provided was so important to me to be successful. Dugan's has exceeded my expectations, and I'm happy to have found a host agency that truly supports its advisors and fosters an environment where we can thrive. The opportunities for in-depth education, social media platforms, the FAM trips, access to key supplier BDM's, and the volume of expertise offered through this host travel agency have been unsurpassed by others. No question is too small or too insignificant, and the wealth of information from other members of the agency is a welcome benefit. I highly recommend Dugan's Travels as a host agency. you won't regret the decision to join this 'family'! - Katharine

I have been an Independent Travel Agent with Dugan's Travels for over 13 years and love it! It's easy, they give great support and information.
