## Resource

Thinking about switching host agencies or going independent? In this Hot Take, Robin and Jennifer break down the difference between travel advisor responsibilities and host agency responsibilities, and why changing hosts just because another offers different perks isn’t always the answer. They talk through what hosts actually provide behind the scenes, what advisors should be building on their own, and the questions to ask before deciding if independence is the right next step.
