Travel + Leisure Will Require Member Dues for A-List Travel Agents
byDaniel McCarthy/
Travel + Leisure’s list of top travel agents, which it calls the A-List, will now require a $4,000 a year payment for agents wanting to be included.
Travel + Leisure made the change recently and sent messages to A-List candidates. Getting on the list means special listing for agents on the T + L website, along with social media promotion, and placement in T + L’s print edition.
Travel + Leisure calls A-list agents “the ultimate travel planners.” They are selected out of hundreds of applications submitted by readers and agents.
Members of 2017's A-list didn't return Travel Market Report's request for comments.
