21 Ways KHM Travel Group is Building our 100-Year Story

For 21 years, KHM Travel Group has been building a host agency community around independent travel agents. In that time, we’ve learned that long-term success isn’t built on one resource, program, or one big number. It’s developed through people, relationships, and support.

Here are 21 numbers that help tell the story of where we are today and where we’re headed next.

13 Core Values

Starting with the foundation of our host agency: our 13 Core Values. These values guide the decisions we make about the ways we support, educate, promote, and empower our travel agents.

3+ Million Hours of Education

There’s always something new to learn…and our Learning Management System is proof. Agents can browse our 60 lessons, covering 99 topics, all created by our in-house Education Team. Together, our agents have completed over 3 million hours of online education.

$53 Million in Commissions

Success isn’t only about earnings, but seeing your hard work pay off is part of it. Last year, we paid a record-breaking $53 million in commissions, including $750,000 in bonus commission to our agents.

203+ Coaching Calls

One of our favorite ways to guide agents is through personalized coaching. Our 10 coaches help agents tackle everything from sales and social media to branding, groups, time management, and more. Just in the first half of 2026, we’ve completed 203+ coaching calls.

6,896 Posts

Our private Agent Only Facebook Group is always buzzing with the latest tips and agent experiences. With 4,355 members and 6,896 posts/discussions, this lively community is a great place to connect.

$1.4M in Recovered Commissions

Travel agents work hard for commission, and we’re committed to helping make sure those commissions don’t go unpaid. We’ve resolved 7,604 unclaimed bookings (representing $1.4M in recovered commissions for our agents!).

1,781 Outbound Calls

Support isn’t only available when you call us. In the first half of the year, we’ve made 1781 outbound calls to check in, offer encouragement, and see where agents may need an extra boost of confidence.

200+ Preferred Suppliers

As a travel agent, having the right vacations options for your clients is essential. We have 200+ Preferred Suppliers to book with, plus access to hundreds of others.

20 Seconds

That’s the average response time when you reach out to one of our Agent Support Specialists. With a team of 10 and flexible evening and weekend hours, our main Agent Support team is ready to share their years of expertise.

2 Facebook Lives Every Week

If you want to hear the latest news, fun headquarter happenings, or just pop in to say “hello,” our Engagement Team goes live on Facebook twice a week (on Monday and Friday).

920 Webinar Attendees

Welcome Aboard, Level Up, The Agent Playbook, Insider Live, and more. These are a few of the webinars 920 attendees have watched to gain insights and business-building tips. We even host Before You Board webinars to help you decide if we’re the right host agency for you. Contact us to join our next Before You Board!

400 Supplier Escalations

Sometimes agents need someone in their corner. In 2025, our Compliance Team facilitated 400 escalations between agents and suppliers, helping move resolutions forward while reducing the stress of agents and their clients.

$458+ Million in Travel Sales

Last year, KHM Travel Group agents generated a record $458 million+ in annual travel sales. That growth gets noticed by our supplier partners, creating more opportunities for exclusive incentives, FAMs, and other experiences for our agents.

402 First-Time Event Attendees

More and more agents are discovering how game-changing a KHM Travel Group event can be. In 2026, we welcomed 111 first time attendees to our Crystal Conference, 210 first time attendees to Destination Success, and 81 first time attendees to our On the Concourse dates (so far). With the introduction of our event ambassadors, agents can walk into a new event with confidence.

459 First Commission Checks

The pride of seeing your first commission check is a feeling most agents will never forget. So far this year, 459 agents have experienced the joy of receiving their first commission.

$1.7 Million in 1 Week

In 2026, KHM Travel has paid out more than $1 million in commissions for 13 weeks. And on June 24, we reached a record weekly payout of $1.7 million. That represents a lot of travel dreams turning into real income for our agents.

6 Magellan Awards

When we say we’re an award-winning host agency, we have the gold and silver to prove it. We’ve received 6 Travel Weekly Magellan Awards for our video content, Crystal Conference, DE&I, coaching, education, and Level Up webinars.

157 Group Camp Graduates

Groups can be a powerful part of a travel business, and Group Camp is helping agents build the skills to make them happen. Since its introduction in March 2024, 157 agents have completed Group Camp.

Group Camp

167 Local Supplier Events

Our goal is to get education and networking opportunities to our agents, from coast to coast and cities in between. Our Engagement Coordinators have been involved in spreading the word about 167 local supplier events. These include dinner presentations, ship tours, workshops, and more. 

Hundreds of Marketing Resources

Building a travel business means wearing a lot of hats and marketing is one of them. Our hands-on sessions, coaching, and Marketing Hub give agents access to hundreds of social media graphics, email templates, videos, and other resources to make marketing a little easier.

90+ People

Behind every number on this list is a travel agent with a business, family, and a future. That’s why our 90+ team members are so important to our story. While other companies are replacing people with technology, we’re continuing to grow and invest in our team. With a 65:1 agent-to-staff ratio, our goal is to make sure our agents never feel like just another number.
