Default World Ventures

I don't know either...what I do know is that I was contacted by a person who is a member of this organization. When I emailed her back and posted an article about the founders of World Ventures, she dropped me like a hot potato saying it was a waste of her time to have this discussion with me.

She may have a point, but before I give anyone $400 of my money, I'm doing to do my due diligence and ask some tough questions.

Default world ventures

World Ventures is an IATAN accredited location however, they are unable to sell our card. You know that we require proof of earnings of not less than $5000/annum from the sale of travel to become eligible for the IATA ID Card.

We are closely monitoring any request that comes in for Registration or ID Card to ensure that they are bona fide agents meeting the criteria and not one of these MLM participants.


The last thing we want to see happen here is the misleading of the general public to believe that they are bona fide agents with the ability to receiving industry concessions.

Smile Hello

I can tell you right now that World Ventures is legit. I don't know about the top guys of this company. I don't want to know them. This is my buisness I run so why would I care about them? I have saved thousands and thousands of money on vacations. Whoever says that World Ventures is fake is most likely not a member.

Exclamation book a trip

Why not just book a trip? Seems simple enough to do to find out if they're legit.

Hello forum.

I was going through dome searches for WorldVentures and found this discussion about the company.

First off I will say that I am with WorldVEntures and have been since November 2005.

I will try and answer any questions you all may have about the company, I will also defend the company as well.
  • WorldVentures was launched December 10,2005 (I joined 1 month before launch)

    Company is based in Plano Texas

    Company was totally debt free in its third month of business

    WV is a fully bonded and licensed travel company

    WV has over 55,000 Reps in the company in two years.

    WV has sole proprietary booking technoloy

    WV has a travel club membership called DreamTrips. This is a totally different "product" that being a Leisure Travel Consultant. This product can stand on its own.

    WorldVentures does not issue ID cards any longer to distance themselves from other card mills. They have taken proactive measures to ensure they are in good standing with all vendors. WV has strong vendor ties. WV was not asked to do this but did it themselves. That is the character of this company, be proactive instead of reactive.


Now most people will believe the first thing they read on the internet and call it fact. But the fact is that it is very easy for people to sit behind a keyboard and slam something they know nothing about.

All I ask is that you are in this discussion, please do more checking than a website where a link was provided above. If you notice that website is full of negative people that would not be successful in any business. Also take note that the negative comments STARTED TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE COMPANY EVEN LAUNCHED and come directly from COMPETING travel company members.

Also if you will notice there isn't really anything bad about he company. All the people have had gripes about are the leaders. If you can't find something bad about the company itself to gripe about, then attack the leaders and try and discredit the business that way.
Well I can tell you after two years in this company you will find no better leaders than with this company. There is so much more to the story than the people are saying over there. Most of it is not close to being accurate.

Yes they were in another travel company. (big downlines)

No they were not OFFICERS in the company. (had no say in the workings of the company. Just members with large downlines)

They went to the owner of the other travel company and told them they had developed a new booking technology and wanted to see if he would partner with them. The owner said NO

Shortly after Reps checks started bouncing or they never got paid at all (including the founders of WV)

That is when they broke away to start WorldVentures.

It was pretty simple, but when you read the stories at that website you would think that the people that started WV held people at gunpoint and stole their wallets. Couldn't be further than the truth.


Like ant business whether it be Btick and Mortar or Home Based, people will fail. That is a fact that hits every industry whether its McDonalds (yep I have a closed McD's right down the road from me) or if it is a home based business in the travel industry.

People tend to blame something else for their failure instead of taking responsability for their own. If you work a business like a hobby it will pay like a hobby. If you work it like a real business and work it thoroughly you will see results and income.

Just see the angle people have taken on the posts in that link and you will see an agenda.


Merry Christmas!

Default This is legit

I have to say this company is legit. For full disclosure, I've been involved with them for 4 months now.

They are NOT a travel agent license factory. To get the travel agent credentials, such as IATA and CLIA, you must attend the industry training AND achieve minimum sales volume as required by those organizations. I've attended CLIA training and have booked 2 cruises for friends, and I only do this part time, but that has qualified me for CLIA certification. I'll say this again - the company does NOT give out credentials without the appropriate training and sales volume.

This is a network marketing company and my focus at the moment is more on building a team than making sales - though I do make sales and have my friends and family book travel through my website. The commissions the company pays are better than the industry average, if the travel booked is commissionable (domestic airfare generally isn't commissionable unless it's included as part of an overall travel package - then it is only sometimes).

In the 4 months I've been in the company, I've seen the person who sponsored me quit her job as a real estate agent to persue this business full time. She has been in the company less than a year and has matched her real estate income with this company. One of the other people she sponsored has also quit her job to do this full time. The person who sponsored my sponsor was a vice president at a financial services company and he quit his position once his World Ventures income matched his salary. These are people I know very well and I know their individual situations.

If anyone has any questions about the company, please feel free to contact me via Private Message on this site. If you want to speak with any of the people I know who are doing this full time to verify this, I'll be happy to get you in touch with them, and I'm sure they'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
