Your Travel Consultant Celebrates a Year’s Success with PTS!

Many of you are probably well aware by now that we absolutely love raving about the success of PTS members like Your Travel Consultant. Their ambition and success is incredibly inspiring to our team, giving us the motivation to work even harder to support more businesses just like Simon’s. We are very proud of all the Your Travel Consultant has already achieved, and we were happy to hear that Simon was also proud of how much his business was thriving!

Who Are Your Travel Consultant?

Your Travel Consultant is a UK-based homeworking travel network designed to give independent agents the freedom to build their own brands with full support behind them, in a lot of ways, YTC has very similar goals to PTS in giving passionate travel professionals freedom to make their business.

They provide access to over 200 leading suppliers, an AI-powered quoting and booking platform, and a complete in-house back-office structure that handles compliance, payments, and protection. Every holiday sold through YTC is financially protected by PTS, giving agents and customers total peace of mind.

Your Travel Consultant was founded in 2024, and recently celebrated its first anniversary. From the very beginning, they’ve been a proud partner with PTS and we were able to support them from the very start of their journey, providing a foundation that gave them the freedom to grow as much as they already have in just a year of business.

What Experience Have YTC Had as a PTS Member?

“We discovered PTS while researching trusted compliance and financial protection partners as we prepared to launch YTC,” Simon said, “The reputation of PTS for integrity, transparency, and innovation immediately stood out. After speaking with their team, it was clear this partnership would be central to our business model. We joined very soon after our initial discussions.”

Simon and Your Travel Consultant already had a vision when they started. They wanted to build a travel network for independent agents to operate freely but with regulatory and financial support. “We needed a partner capable of managing dynamic packaging, daily reconciliation, and transparent client fund protection. PTS provided the exact structure we were looking for—secure, scalable, and trusted.”

As a newly established network, Your Travel Consultant faced the challenge of balancing innovation with compliance. Setting up trust accounts, managing payments to multiple suppliers, and ensuring full financial protection can be complex. YTC subsequently turned to PTS to simplify this whole process for their team and their agent members. The PTS structure allowed them to keep protection at the top of their list from the very beginning.

“The onboarding process was structured, professional, and efficient. The PTS team guided us through every detail, from compliance documentation to integrating with their systems. They made sure we launched with everything in place to operate securely and professionally. That support gave us the confidence to scale quickly.

“PTS provided a level of support that went far beyond the basics. Their expertise in compliance, ATOL structure, and trust management helped us design internal processes that meet industry standards. They also supported us with supplier guidance and financial oversight. Having that kind of partnership meant we could focus on what makes YTC unique—building relationships, developing our technology, and supporting our agents day-to-day.”

Now, a year down the line, Simon said that the protection and visibility of client funds “remain essential” to their business, “the support and accessibility of the PTS team continue to be a huge asset.”

Since becoming a PTS member, Your Travel Consultant has grown from concept to a growing national network of independent travel agents. They’ve partnered with more than 200 suppliers, developed their own Agent Hub and AI Quote Tool, and introduced live booking technology through their Travelgenix integration. Their rapid growth and strong reputation have been possible because PTS has handled the compliance and financial protection side.

“Your Travel Consultant and PTS share the same vision,” Simon said,  “to raise standards across the travel industry through transparency, protection, and genuine support. For our agents, joining YTC means having the freedom to build their own brand while knowing that behind the scenes, every booking is handled securely and professionally thanks to PTS. Our partnership is proof that innovation and compliance can go hand in hand—and that’s exactly what makes YTC and PTS such a strong team.”
