PTN was founded by Stephanie Pickles with a simple belief: travel advisors deserve more than a place to book travel. They deserve meaningful relationships, accessible leadership, and the support to build thriving businesses and long-term careers.
After entering the travel industry, Stephanie recognized that many advisors were looking for more than technology and supplier access. They were seeking guidance, collaboration, and a community where they could learn, grow, and thrive. PTN was created to provide that experience—one built on meaningful relationships, accessible leadership, and a genuine commitment to advisor success.
As PTN grew, Stephanie’s husband, Baz, joined the business, helping guide the agency’s continued growth and long-term vision.
Today, PTN brings together travel professionals who believe that success is built through continuous learning, meaningful relationships, and a willingness to support one another. While the company has evolved over the years, its purpose remains unchanged: helping travel advisors build thriving, sustainable businesses and create exceptional experiences for their clients.
At its core, PTN believes that independence should never mean going it alone. Through community, education, trusted partnerships, and ongoing support, we’re committed to helping advisors grow with confidence, building businesses and careers that they love.
We believe travel advisors deserve more than a place to book travel.
They deserve meaningful relationships, accessible leadership, and the support to build businesses that stand the test of time. Through community, education, and world-class partnerships, PTN exists to help advisors thrive, personally and professionally. Because building something extraordinary is better when you don’t do it alone.
