How closely have you read your contract with your host agency? Does it have a non-compete clause? How about a detailed plan for termination?

In the season seven premiere of Trade Secrets, we’re digging into the fine print that every travel advisor needs to watch out for. We’re joined by Marcie Muensterman, travel advisor, coach and host of the No BS Travel Advisor Podcast, to identify host agency red flags. Welcome back to a brand-new season!

Thanks to our friends at Coastline Travel Group for helping us solicit travel advisor questions this season. 

This episode was sponsored by the Globus family of brands.
