A travel consortia is a group of independent travel agencies that join forces to increase their buying power, access better deals, and offer enhanced services to their clients. Essentially, it is a network where agencies collaborate to gain a competitive advantage in the travel industry. Not all consortia are created equal. Some are open to everyone, charge a very small fee, and offer very few advantages. Others are highly exclusive and provide differentiated perks for advisors and their clients.

Signature Travel Network is one of the most respected and influential travel consortia in the industry, representing a curated network of top-tier travel agencies and advisors. Founded in 1956, Signature has built a reputation for excellence, exclusivity, and innovation in the travel space. Membership is by invitation only and restricted based on sales performance, making it a mark of distinction for agencies and advisors who meet the highest standards of professionalism and performance. As part of Travel with Awestruck, you have access to Signature Travel Network from the moment you begin booking.

For its members, Signature offers a powerful suite of tools, partnerships, and support systems designed to elevate both client experience and business growth. This includes access to preferred partnerships with the world’s leading luxury hotels, cruise lines, on-site suppliers, and tour operators — often with exclusive benefits and amenities available only through Signature advisors.

Signature also provides proprietary marketing programs, cutting-edge technology solutions, and comprehensive training resources that empower members to stay ahead of trends, scale their business, and deliver extraordinary travel experiences. Signature takes a hands-on approach to supporting their members, and is highly responsive to any questions you might have as you begin booking.  

For discerning advisors, being part of Signature is not just a credential — it’s a competitive advantage.
