Who we are

Angela & Graham Hill

15+ years in travel Virtuoso CLIA Amadeus Sabre FIT itineraries Cruise groups

I'm Angela Hill. Together with my husband and business partner, Graham, I created The Travel Advisor's PA to provide the kind of support we know busy travel advisors genuinely need.

After more than 15 years in the travel industry, I've worked across almost every part of the business, from Personal Travel Manager and cruise specialist to luxury itinerary designer, operations, team leadership and business development.

I've built and managed complex itineraries, supported advisors and trained teams, and I understand first-hand the balancing act of looking after clients while keeping the business running behind the scenes. I've worked with leading industry networks including Virtuoso and CLIA, using systems such as Amadeus and Sabre, and managed everything from complex airfare bookings and bespoke FIT itineraries to cruise groups, supplier relationships, quality control and back-office operations.

Graham brings extensive experience in business operations, systems, technology and marketing, so our clients get experienced travel support and efficient processes that help their businesses run more smoothly.

We're also supported by a team of experienced travel consultants who work with us on an ad-hoc basis. So when your workload peaks, or a booking needs specialist know-how, we have the depth to help.

We work for you, the travel advisor.

  • Your brand remains your brand.
  • Your clients remain your clients.
  • Your preferred suppliers remain your preferred suppliers.

Your commissions, incentives and relationships stay exactly where they belong. We're simply the experienced team working quietly behind the scenes, so you can spend more time looking after your clients and growing your business.

FAQ

Questions advisors often ask.

Can't see your question here? Get in touch and we'll happily answer it.

Do you work under my brand?

Yes. Everything we do is under your brand, using your email signature, templates and tone. Your clients deal with you, and we stay behind the scenes.

Will my clients, suppliers and commissions stay mine?

Always. We never contact your clients or suppliers on our own behalf, and we never take commissions or incentives. Your relationships stay exactly where they belong.

Are you a travel agent?

Yes. We're experienced travel agents, which is why we understand your business so well. When we work for you, we follow very clear guidelines: we work only under your brand and your instructions, we never approach or solicit your clients or suppliers for ourselves, while we work together or for 12 months after, and every commission and incentive from your bookings stays with you.

How do you access my systems?

Through secure, individual logins or a shared password manager, never by emailed passwords. You can see and remove our access at any time.

Is my client data safe?

Yes. We treat everything as strictly confidential, only access what we need for the work you've asked us to do, and never share your data. Our Privacy Policy and Terms of Engagement explain this in full.

Which systems do you work with?

We're experienced in Amadeus and Sabre, as well as common travel CRMs, supplier portals, email and calendar tools. If you use something else, we're quick to learn it.

Can I change packages?

Yes. You can move up or down a package with one week's notice, and we'll adjust your support from the following billing week.

What happens to unused hours?

Package hours are the maximum per week and don't roll over to the next week. If you need more, extra hours are charged at $95 per hour.

Is there a minimum commitment?

Packages have a minimum term of 3 months. That gives us time to learn your systems properly and make a real difference to your business. After that, they continue week to week, and you can finish up at any time with two weeks' notice. Ad-hoc support has no minimum commitment.

When are you available?

We're based in Australia and work Monday to Friday during business hours, Australian Eastern Time. If you need help outside these hours for a particular booking, just ask.

After the minimum term, either of us can end the arrangement with two weeks' written notice, and fees are payable up to the end of the notice period. Ad-hoc support has no minimum term. When we finish, we'll return or securely delete your information and remove our access to your systems.
