Meet Our Team

  • Steven Gould

    CINO - Chief Innovation Officer

    Steven Gould

    Travel has always been more than just a hobby – it is my BIGGEST passion. I learned early in my career that travel is not just a way to see another destination. It’s about creating immersive experiences that will change your life! There's something about venturing to new destinations, learning about different cultures, and coming back with a piece of you that wasn't there before you left. “I always encourage advisors to learn, experience, and grow in this amazing industry. We are afforded so many opportunities and I hope TARC helps enrich and enhance those opportunities for years to come!”

I highly recommend TARC to those new to the industry and established professionals looking to grow. We recommend TARC’s Recognized Travel Advisor Program when we onboard new agents. The RTA Program has excellent content on the industry and is the perfect foundation for anyone looking to jumpstart their career as a travel advisor. In addition to utilizing TARC for training, I have purchased their Workflow Templates and used them to create customized templates for our agency. These templates have helped me streamline my process, provide a better client experience, and ensure consistency across all client interactions. It’s truly been a pleasure working with TARC, and the investment in their services has genuinely paid off.
