For nearly a decade, travAlliancemedia has stepped outside the box, challenged the status quo, and led the travel trade media with unique print and online products targeting the $100 billion travel agent channel. In 2002, as Performance Media Group, we defied conventional business wisdom by launching a dot.com business focused on travel in the wake of 9/11. Our approach to addressing client needs in a rapidly changing business landscape led to our remarkable growth, recognized by Inc. Magazine, which named us among the fastest growing, privately held companies for three straight years from 2008-2010 and again this year, ranking #50 out of 100 hospitality and tourism companies. Our philosophy is simple: We believe that travel is not an off-the-shelf commodity, but rather a highly valuable experience made greater through the guidance and personal touch of a trained professional. Our news, information and education services strengthen the profession and enable tens of thousands of agents to build, run and succeed in business. We continue to lead the industry with cutting-edge media, education and relationship marketing, and consumer engagement products that connect leisure travel brands to agents and millions of their customers. travAlliancemedia industry-leading brands include TravelPulse.com, Vacation Agent magazine, Agent@Home magazine, Travel Agent Academy, Virtual Travel Events, Travel Tribe, and Agent Studio.
