BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER

What You've Heard About This Industry Isn't Quite True.

Whether you’re exploring this career or already in it, you’ve probably come across the same advice. Here’s what’s actually going on.

Myth # 1

"Just join a host agency — they'll give you everything you need."

Host agencies provide systems and support, but most don’t teach you how to build your business. You’ll learn their portals, not how to find clients. Signing up is easy — knowing what to do next is where people get stuck.

Myth # 2

"The more destinations you learn, the more successful you'll be."

You could spend months on supplier certifications and resort trainings — and still have zero clients to book. Most programs have you focused on the wrong thing at the wrong time. Destination knowledge matters only after you have someone to sell to.

Myth # 3

"Start small, book any-thing you can, and work your way up to luxury."

Budget travel and luxury travel are different businesses entirely — different clients, different expectations, different skills. The longer you operate like a budget advisor, the harder it becomes to shift. Starting with the right foundation matters.

WHY DEOLIX

Your Success Is the Only Thing We Sell

Most training comes with strings attached — recruiting quotas, host agency contracts, or watered-down content that’s really just sales training for their products. We’re different.

Business, Not Just Booking

Most training programs only teach you how to book. We also teach you how to make money: finding clients, closing sales, and running a business.

Luxury-First Methodology

We teach you to sell $50,000 trips from day one, not to “work your way up” starting with budget bookings. Different market, different approach.

Truly Independent

We’re not tied to any host agency. Our training helps you evaluate your options and choose the right fit for your business, not ours.

True Mentorship

More than just video courses you watch alone. Live group coaching, direct feedback, and a community of professionals, not hobbyists.

AI-Enhanced Workflows

The best advisors use AI to free up their time for what actually grows the business: relationships. We teach you how.

Total Transparency

No hidden upsells. No recruitment. No “pay-to-play” surprises. You see exactly what you’re getting before you invest a dime.

FOUNDER

Meet Dean Horvath

Dean has spent over two decades in luxury travel, building five successful agencies from the ground up and developing systems that turn passion into profit. His experience spans everything from solo advising to leading teams and scaling operations.

But what drove him to create The Deolix Academy wasn’t his own success. It was watching so many others struggle. Talented people who joined the wrong programs, followed bad advice, and never learned the business skills that actually matter. 

Dean built The Deolix Academy to be the training he wished existed when he started: practical, honest, and focused on building a real business.
