“AMIKO is an amazing community! I’ve been a part of several other networking groups but find the AMIKO members to be collaborative, insightful and genuinely engaged in the luxury travel industry. The sense of community over competition is like no other group. Marisa has created something really special and I’d highly recommend to any travel advisors looking for a like-minded, driven group of people!”

ROAM TRAVEL COMPANY
“As a small but mighty team of two with no host agency, we are very grateful to be a part of the AMIKO community. We have made countless connections through AMIKO that have truly helped us – and our clients – from direct airline contacts (who helped us re-book our clients with no change fees) to introductions to some of our favorite new DMCs. AMIKO is a valuable platform for a new generation of skilled and determined travel planners — we are proud to be a part of the AMIKO movement.”

“Being a part of AMIKO has helped me bridge the gap between the destinations I have been to, and the ones I have not more times than I can count. This support helps me narrow down my recommendations to clients confidently and swiftly rather than "hope for the best". This element of their business model helps me win business, and match the client's needs in ways that older business models just cannot keep pace with."

“Most of the time, I’m running my business from abroad, so the AMIKO community is an invaluable way to stay connected to my entrepreneurial travel peers back in the U.S. and around the world. I always get thoughtful and well-informed answers to my questions and enjoy giving back by sharing (and showing off) my own areas of expertise. AMIKO is an exemplary collective of digital travel experts — a visionary living brain trust on worldwide luxury travel!”

DESIGNED TRAVEL
“I appreciate my host agency and their resources, but the AMIKO network reaches around the world and to advisors that are eager for the next generation of experiences and business practices. If I need a recommendation for a great onsite a unique destination and won't break the bank for my clients - I go to AMIKO. Same with needing a new bookkeeping service - AMIKO is changing and our community is adapting and thriving.”

“There is no community quite like AMIKO in the travel industry. Not only is there a wealth of knowledge from others on virtually any topic you can bring to the table, but it's also encouraging and supportive in a way that is hard to find. Marisa has done such a phenomenal job bringing together a diverse group of modern advisors and industry professionals who choose to be collaborative and constantly work together to make this industry better. It is my go-to resource for just about every question or issue I face as an advisor, and I'm thankful for the friends I've made in this community.”
