Travel has always been more than just a hobby – it is my BIGGEST passion. I learned early in my career that travel is not just a way to see another destination. It’s about creating immersive experiences that will change your life!It is said that travel is the one thing that you buy that actually makes you richer, and I believe that to be true. There's something about venturing into new destinations, learning about different cultures, and coming back with a piece of you that wasn't there before you left.I opened Goulds Travel 10 years ago selling vacation packages all around the world. I focused on ocean cruises and all-inclusive resorts, then expanded into river cruises, luxury vacations, and group travel. I made it my mission to research and learn as much about the travel industry as possible, but the adventure-seeker in me took it to a whole new level!Over the years, I have jumped out of planes, zip-lined through rainforests, cruised through the history of Europe, saw the scenery of Asia, and relaxed on Caribbean beaches. Each of these trips provided a different perspective on how to tailor vacations to best suit my clients! I am not just a Travel Agent, I work as your Travel Advocate to ensure that you have the best vacation experience from start to finish. I use my travel adventures, coupled with exclusive supplier partnerships, to coordinate personalized travel experiences - no matter the itinerary!

The Travel Partner Directory is a comprehensive platform connecting travel advisors with different suppliers worldwide. It offers a central location for contact information, agent portals, industry events, and more. Much like Google, our directory works like an aggregator to collect contact information from around the world and display it in one location.
Simply create your account, browse our website, and use the search function to find suppliers, events, and resources tailored to your needs. Each listing provides detailed contact information and descriptions.
The directory will be particularly useful for travel advisors and supplier partners looking to connect, share valuable insights, and enhance networking opportunities.
We update the directory regularly to ensure you have access to the latest contact information and resources from supplier partners. If you see anything that needs to be updated, you can reach out to our team directly.
While we strive to include reputable suppliers, TARC does not endorse or vet our supplier partners. We recommend conducting your own due diligence before engaging with any supplier.
If you experience inconsistencies or suspect any issues with a supplier, please reach out to our team immediately. Your feedback helps us maintain the quality and reliability of our directory.
The directory saves you time by centralizing key information, improves profits through better supplier relationships, and makes it easier to find trusted partners and resources.
Access to the directory is free for travel advisors. Certain premium features or additional services may be available at an extra cost, including the Travel Pro Directory. Contact our team for more information.

The Travel Pro Directory was designed to connect Travel Pros with potential customers worldwide. Advisors can create a dedicated profile to connect directly with travelers and to share with existing clients, enhancing their travel business. Boost visibility, reach a broader audience, and build lasting client relationships by showcasing unique skills, specialized knowledge, expertise, travel blogs, groups, promotions, and so much more directly on our Travel Pro Directory platform. Contact our team for more information.
When creating their profile, Travel Pros are given the opportunity to select where their business is located, what their top travel styles are, and what destinations they primarily focus on when booking travel. By using the search feature, you will narrow down the results based on the Pro’s location, travel style, or destination the Pro feels they are most suited for.
Absolutely! Our platform enables you to handpick and establish connections directly with Travel Pros who focus specifically on your intended vacation destination or travel style. You are not required to work with a specific Travel Pro, but if you do reach out to a Travel Pro for a consultation, please be courteous and let them know if you are working with another advisor as well.
Much like Google, this Directory works like a Travel Pro search engine. The Directory does not sell or process any travel arrangements, tickets, or reservations. The personalized search feature helps narrow down the Travel Pro, based on how they fill out their individual profile, that should be most equipped to curate your travel arrangements. The Directory is here to help you connect to Travel Pros to help you get out there and experience the world.
We refer to both Travel Agents and Travel Advisors as Travel Pros within our Directory. Some prefer one term over another, but all of them essentially perform the same functions: booking flights, hotels, and tours. However, Travel Advisors argue that a key difference lies in the personalized service they provide. Both of them focus on building lasting relationships with clients, ensuring ongoing support beyond trip booking. Similar to financial advisors or attorneys, Travel Agents and Advisors offer expert guidance, helping clients navigate complex travel decisions and unforeseen circumstances. Travel Agents have always held their title until recently when the term “Travel Advisor” starting becoming more popular.
Travel Pros tend to make your life easier by taking care of all the intricate trip planning, from booking flights and hotels to setting up fun, destination-focused activities. Plus, they typically have the inside scoop on special perks, deals, and amenities that may be available to make your trip even better while saving you both time and money along the way. Most importantly, they've typically got your back if any unpredictable events happen during your adventure, helping provide additional peace of mind. Travel Pros work to turn your trip into an unforgettable experience with added convenience and benefits.
While you're not obligated to work with a Travel Pro, it's worth noting that, just like you don't "need" a mechanic to fix your car or a CPA to file your taxes, working with a Travel Pro when planning your vacation can often be highly advantageous. Travel Pros typically bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and industry connections to the table, helping you navigate complex travel arrangements, access exclusive deals, and tailor your trip to your specific preferences and needs. Their expertise may save you time, stress, and potentially even money, making your travel experience more enjoyable.
No. Much like Google, this Directory works like a Travel Pro search engine. It is merely a search feature to find Travel Pros to work with. To be listed on the Directory, Travel Pros must pay a subscription fee and maintain travel agency credentials through IATA, CLIA, ARC, or TRUE. We do not endorse or vet the Pros listed in the database. It is the User’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence when working with Travel Pros on or off the Directory. Please report any issues to us using the “Report a Problem” link in the footer of the website or by visiting: https://travelprodirectory.com/report.
The "Premium Member" badge serves as an indicator, signifying that the Travel Pro has made the choice to elevate their status on the platform by subscribing to an upgraded membership. This upgraded account offers them a range of additional account features that they can showcase on their profile, providing further information about their services to potential clients.
Travel Pros have many different business models and each Travel Pro listed in this Directory runs their business independently. Much like other professionals, many Travel Pros often charge fees for their services. These fees can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the trip, the services provided, and the Travel Pro’s expertise and reputation. Here are some common ways Travel Pros may charge fees:
Consultation Fee: Travel Pros may charge an upfront consultation fee for their time and expertise when initially discussing a trip with a client. This fee covers the Pro’s research and recommendations.
Planning and Booking Fees: Travel Pros may charge fees for planning and booking various aspects of a trip, such as flights, accommodations, tours, and activities. These fees can be a flat rate or a percentage of the total cost of the trip.
Service Fees: Travel Pros may charge service fees for ongoing support, changes to itineraries, or handling changes/modifications after the client is booked.
Customization Fees: If a client requests a highly customized itinerary or a unique travel experience, Travel Pros may charge additional fees for the extra time and effort required to plan such trips.
Group Booking Fees: Travel Pros who specialize in group travel often charge fees for organizing and coordinating group trips, including negotiating group rates, managing group logistics, and even setting up group registrations.
Subscription Model: Travel Pros may offer subscription-based services, where clients pay a monthly or annual fee in exchange for ongoing access to their services, advice, and exclusive travel deals.
It's essential to clarify the fee structure with a Travel Pro upfront to understand what services are included and how much you can expect to pay for their assistance. Keep in mind that while there may be fees associated with using a Travel Pro, their expertise and ability to save you time, stress, and potentially money can make their services a valuable investment for many travelers.
