Why Become An Independent Travel Agent?
Home-based agents are more popular today than brick-and-mortar travel agencies. No more are companies renting space to sell travel, now they are renting server space to host their websites that they sell to people who want to own their own travel agencies.
Just like everything else, travel has moved online. Online booking agencies like Expedia, cheap Tickets and Travelocity have made it easy for anyone to book their own travel online from the comfort of their own home!
Today, not everyone wants to book their own travel. There are people that still look for and prefer to have a travel agent, someone they depend on as ‘the expert’ to guide them in their next family vacation destination. In these cases, travel agents are necessary.
Thanks to the internet, anyone who wants to become a Travel Agent from home can do so with ease. No longer is a degree or certificate program required. Companies, such as the one I’m with, are providing their travel agents with in-depth training.
Getting started online is easy, all you need to do is purchase a full-service booking engine as an independent agent, like the one I have.
Having your own online booking engine will allow you to have more control with your business vs working as an employee for a travel company. Expect to pay a monthly fee, which should cover: website maintenance, training, home office support, sales and commission tracking and more for a small monthly fee.
