Here at VacationLab, our mission is simple. We help travel advisors grow, succeed and enjoy what they do. We are one of the fastest growing companies in the industry, and we got here by staying transparent, offering support and giving our advisors the tools they need to shine.
Below are the three pillars that make VacationLab such an amazing place for travel agents worldwide.
Once you join us, you will have access to weekly team meetings, our legendary Advisor Academy and calls with other travel agents. Have a question? You can schedule a call with the CEO at any time and he will be happy to help you. Our sister website, Famvia, also provides more than 3,000 free guides, reviews and FAQs from the most popular travel destinations in the world, which will support your growth and help you build a strong client base.
VacationLab offers new webinars and courses every month that are created just for you and remain available for life. We also have a social media wizard (hi, Sofia!) who will be happy to set up a call with you. All of this is here to help you get started and develop your expertise in the way that works best for you.
We do not charge entry fees or monthly fees, and we never will. At VacationLab, you start at a 70% commission split and it only goes up from there. We pay on time, stay transparent and make sure your contracts and payments are always clear and straightforward.
Gifted Travel Network has invested in professional development in a way most host agencies haven't with multiple programs and tracks, including their Travel MBA program. Definitely a differentiator in the industry.
VacationLab's approach is very similar with monthly investments in our Advisor Academy spanning topics that most agencies skip over like the Psychology of Travel and multiple social media courses. All designed to help you level up.
Gifted Travel Network is solely focused on luxury and has multiple partners dedicated just to fulfilling the dreams of travelers who can drop $100k on a trip without thinking about it. However, that has to be your focus as a travel advisor and it's a very specific track.
At VacationLab, 80+ partners cover the full spectrum, including luxury, with an AI tool to match any client to the right experience.

Gifted Travel Network does not publicly list joining fees, monthly costs or commission splits on their website. Their application process is the first step to learning financial terms.
VacationLab has zero entry fees and no monthly costs. Zero. Nothing. Nada. You don’t pay to join us, and we are more than happy to help you succeed as a travel agent and build a strong client base. As we said before, your success is our success, so we always have each other’s back. We also pay on time, and any questions about contracts or payments can be discussed with the CEO whenever you like.
Gifted Travel Network's commission structure is not published publicly. Advisor split percentages and performance thresholds are most likely disclosed during the application and onboarding process.
At VacationLab, we keep things simple and transparent. Every travel agent who joins starts with at least a 70% commission, and experienced agents can earn even more. With time and a growing client base, you can increase your earnings up to 90%, all with no entry or monthly fees.
Gifted Travel Network's professional development programs are a core differentiator: the Travel MBA for foundational development, Accelerate for growth-stage advisors, Top Producers Club for high performers and the Ascend program for experienced advisors entering the luxury market.
At VacationLab, we offer over 30 hours of self-paced courses you can watch online, along with monthly courses, weekly team meetings and webinars covering a variety of topics. We also provide specialized courses, like social media-focused training, and you can always set up a call with our CEO, our social media expert, or other travel agents.
Gifted Travel Network's site describes a 'dynamic and collaborative' community with shared experiences and collaborative learning. Advisor testimonials consistently cite the community as a primary reason for choosing Gifted.
Being a travel agent should be fun, and you should know who’s part of your family. At VacationLab, we have a private Slack channel running all day and team calls more than once a week, with the CEO present and ready to answer your questions. You can also set up calls with our content creator, social media expert, or fellow travel agents. Need a guide focused only on luxury resorts at Disney World? Talk to us, and we’ll get it done in no time so you can share it with your guests. After all, we’re here to help each other.
Gifted Travel Network maintains a podcast (The Travel Business Unpacked), an advisor directory and a blog. These are brand-level assets rather than a tool advisors own for direct client marketing.
VacationLab does things differently. We have a sister website called Famvia that is entirely dedicated to travelers and content. We offer more than 3,000 free guides, reviews and FAQs covering the most popular theme parks, cruises and beach resorts in the world. Have a client who wants to go on a Celebrity Cruises vacation? Send them our planning, dining and room guides, most of which are around 2000 words and packed with helpful information and details. We also have curated reviews of top cruise ships, resorts and theme park rides, with ratings and clear pros and cons for each one. Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure received a perfect 10 out of 10, and the same goes for Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios. Curious to see what else earned a perfect score? Well, we will not spoil that here.
Gifted Travel Network advisors benefit from Virtuoso membership perks and client amenities across several preferred partners.
At VacationLab, we offer not only the best experiences for your guests, but also the best benefits for travel agents. You have the opportunity to access special deals for your guests and save on your own personal travel. On top of that, we run giveaways from time to time and offer a perk called Tier Skip. Every month, we select three special travel suppliers, and you can earn bonus commission and prizes when you sell them. For example, if you are earning 70% commission and the travel supplier of the month is Disney World, selling Disney World vacations could give you 75% or more in commission. Yes, that’s definitely a great way to boost your income!
