An overview of how you can survey, plan, and become a TrovaTrip Host all on your own!

Every Creator has a unique vision for their group trips. Sometimes that vision is crystal clear before they’ve signed up with Trova, and other times, it takes shape after surveying their audience for insights and preferences. Taking yourself through ‘self-serve’ allows you to bring your vision to life without the need for direct human assistance. In this blog post, we'll delve into the exciting world of being a self-serve Trova Host, what to expect as you move yourself through the process, and the support available to you throughout.

To become a Travel Host with Trova you just need to follow these 5 steps:

1. Create your Host account at trovatrip.com/host.
2. Plan your trip by reserving an experience from the Itinerary Library.
   • Wondering which of the 100+ itineraries would be best? Use our free Survey Tool to learn your community's travel preferences.
3. Fill your trip by inviting your community and selling spots.
4. Prepare for your adventure
5. Travel the world with your community and earn income

Can I self-serve my way to hosting a TrovaTrip?

Yes! Many Creators and Influencers sign up for Trova, use the tools provided to them, and ultimately go through the process of creating, selling, and hosting a trip without needing to talk to a human directly. While we have a team of TrovaTrip reps and specialists here to help, for some Hosts, it’s easier to work through the process on their own timeline.

We built the Trova product (a.k.a. the Host Portal) to give you everything you need at your fingertips—from the ability to survey your audience and get their insights, to the data analysis to assist you with promotion tactics, pricing strategies, and the successful launch of your trip. Your success is our success, and we're here to empower you every step of the way (whether or not you want to chat with a live person).

While originally self-serve was specifically for people who received the minimum number of qualified survey responses, we’ve seen Creators of all audience sizes self-serve their way through the portal. All you have to do is set up your Trova account, and follow the steps along the way. You’ll be launching, selling, and confirming your trip in no time!

Who is a great fit for self-serve travel hosting?

Self-serve can be perfect for any Creator! It’s very popular with folks who:

• Are eager to get started and don’t want to wait to speak to someone.
• Already have experience with group trips.
• Have an enthusiastic community that’s already expressed interest in group trips.
• Love using technology to streamline processes.
• Are introverts, are trying to save their person-to-person energy for their community, or just hate getting on the phone (no judgment, we have some elder millennials on staff who feel this).
• Want to jump into the platform and learn more about Trova Trips directly.

Okay, but what if I have a question?
