How Independent Agents Operate
Host Agencies

In Ontario, Independent Travel Agents work under a host agency that provides a regulatory framework, ensuring agents meet the requirements set by the Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO). 

Through a host agency, independent agents can offer clients a wide range of travel services, from customized itineraries to group tours. This partnership allows agents to focus on delivering personalized travel planning and expertise, backed by the host agency’s administrative support, supplier relationships, and travel booking platforms. 

Operating under a host agency gives Ontario-based independent travel agents the flexibility to serve clients effectively, and maintain compliance within the industry. 

Please note: payment processing is handled by a Host Agency.

At Roam Travel, we are proud to partner with Boutique Travel Services (TICO 50022034)
