Our story
Built by a travel advisor, for travel advisors
Travel Advisor Marketplace started with a simple frustration — and a belief that advisors do their best work when they help each other.
Meet Melanie
The advisor behind the marketplace
Hi, I'm Melanie Francis. I'm a homeschooling mom of three and work part-time as a speech therapist in a concussion clinic. Speech therapy has always been close to my heart, and I know it will always be a meaningful part of who I am because I love helping others communicate and thrive.
Travel has been another lifelong passion of mine. I grew up visiting Disney World and going on road trips to national parks. During college, I took my first cruise and immediately fell in love with cruising. In 2024, I turned my passion for travel into a part-time career as a travel advisor, with the goal of helping families create unforgettable memories while making the planning process as stress-free as possible.
Why we built this
A better way to share what works
One of the things I value most about this industry is the willingness of travel advisors to support one another. However, I noticed that many advisors spend countless hours creating emails, gathering photos, designing marketing materials, developing social media content, and searching for effective ways to promote their businesses. Many of these resources are shared, bought, and sold through Facebook groups, making it difficult to organize, search, and quickly find exactly what you need.
That realization inspired me to partner with my husband to build a platform designed specifically for travel advisors. This is a place to share, sell, and purchase high-quality travel resources. As much as I would love to personally experience every destination, cruise ship, and resort my clients may consider, that’s simply not possible. This marketplace allows advisors to learn from one another, exchange valuable materials, and better serve their clients with confidence.
“Together, we can save time, support one another, and stop reinventing the wheel.”
By sharing our knowledge and resources, we can all become better travel advisors and create even more meaningful experiences for the clients who trust us with their vacations.
