Good People - Anonymous employee The Local Foreigner Employee Review

I have worked as a luxury travel advisor for 7 years now at three different companies and I have to admit that the Local Foreigner is by far the most impressive in many ways. The 4 partners at Local Foreigner are driven, smart, and engaged. They each bring a different perspective and strength to the business which provides their ICs with the most well-rounded support to grow and manage their own businesses. They always make themselves available for any question you have and spend the time to make sure you are successful in every way they can. The team and energy in the office are fun, collaborative, and supportive. Questions, creativity, and ideas are encouraged and always well received by all. Their systems, databases, and marketing far surpass any in the industry. There are numerous tools and resources that Local Foreigner provides that allow you to do your work faster and more efficiently. I truly have never felt more confident in my work and proud of the company I work for than I do at Local Foreigner, especially in the time of Covid when our industry has been pushed to the lowest place it’s ever been!

There are always ways to improve as you grow, especially being a small and young company. The partners recognize this and are always asking what they can do to be the most supportive and best version of themselves, constantly willing to innovate to provide you with the best service.

The team at TLF is immensely unique and one of a kind in the travel industry. The company is led by four women and each owner brings a unique perspective and leadership style to the business. Unlike other hosting agencies out there, The Local Foreigner's dynamic leadership team focuses on business strategies that empowers all employees and ICs to succeed. The leaders methodically built a tech focused infrastructure to ensure their employees, ICs , and clients have a transparent business relationship and seamless planning experience. The Local Foreigner is a champion of ensuring quality over quantity in every aspect of the business relationship. The level of transparency between the leaders, employees, ICs and clients is one of a kind in the travel planning space. The Local Foreigner's platform for planning offers the best experience for both travel consultants and their clients. They have thoughtfully designed a career evolving platform for employees and ICs that embodies comprehensive onboarding training, ongoing education and unwavering support through a dedicated contact and open dialogue with team members. After four years of experience in the travel planning industry I am excited to finally partner with a hosting agency that provides the necessary foundation for a fulfilling and lucrative career as a travel consultant.

Look, no business is perfect. Every start-up or small business has growing pains. The key to evolving is welcoming some mistakes and learning from them to make better decisions in the future. TLF recognizes the strategies that have worked and the ones that have not worked. They've done a terrific job focusing on what strategies will empower their team to succeed, so everyone can move forward together in a positive way.
