The Travel Gallery, Inc.

Information About Company / Programs and Structure for Independent Agents

It feels like "home".  That's what affiliates say about their affiliation with The Travel Gallery. Back in the '70's, I worked during high school and college at the neighborhood travel agency doing all the "behind the scenes” duties including manually writing air tickets, running the airline report, putting brochures away.  Then, with little to no training, I started selling travel and I LOVED IT.  After graduation, I turned an offer into an opportunity and opened The Travel Gallery. Now, surrounded by a great team of travel professionals, we have survived and thrived since 1976 and today, TRAVEL GALLERY is a dominant leader in the travel industry. Travel Gallery takes great pride in establishing the right partnerships including our Signature Travel Network membership. We are respected in the travel industry and community and recognized as being a company that is committed to high standards and customer satisfaction. As a full service agency, we assist with travel arrangements for leisure, corporate, group and incentive travel worldwide.  Travel Gallery is an agency you can trust and who cares about you and your business.
