Pique Travel Design | Boutique Host Agency
Not a Number. Culture You Can Feel.

If you’re producing $500K+ and you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing great… so why do I feel invisible here?”  You’re not alone.

A lot of strong, experienced advisors eventually hit that point where the support is fine,  but you still feel like a number. And you start wondering what it would feel like to be somewhere smaller… without giving up the advantages that help you sell.

That’s basically why Pique Travel Design exists.

We’re intentionally boutique, and we like it that way.  But we’re not “small” in the ways that matter. We’re a proud member of Virtuoso (top 1% globally), one of a select group of agencies worldwide endorsed by Forbes Travel Guide, and our team’s insights show up in places like The New York Times, BBC, and the Associated Press.

The part we’re most proud of, though, is our culture. In 2025, Pique became the first boutique agency to win Virtuoso’s Best Agency Culture Award. That award matters because it reflects the day-to-day reality here: people actually know each other, share what’s working, and want each other to win. It’s a room full of high performers — not a leaderboard where everyone competes against each other.

And the numbers back that up: about 90% of our advisors produce over $1M a year. We believe this success is because experienced advisors tend to thrive when they’re surrounded by other experienced advisors.  It's that simple.

We also do things a little differently with our net rate model. You control your earnings based on how you price and position your work. Some advisors love that because it puts them back in the driver’s seat.  Why should we let a supplier determine how much we make?

We’re not the right fit for everyone, and that’s okay. We're driven by connecting with like-minded people.  Not adding more ICs to hit a quota. Pique tends to be a great fit if you’re U.S.-based, selling travel full time, already producing $500K+, and you genuinely like collaborating with other smart people. If you’re looking for a place that feels more connected, more personal, and still has the credibility and buying power of the “big guys,” you’ll probably feel at home here.

This is what a Boutique Host Agency can feel like.  Did we pique your interest?
