Ever wondered if travel agents still exist?
They do—and they're thriving. In a time when anyone can book online, travelers are turning to experts for personalized guidance and insider connections. And the best part? Breaking into this industry is easier than you’d imagine. You don’t need years of experience or a fancy degree. This guide will take you step-by-step through what you need to know, so you can build a career you love while seeing the world.
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A TRAVEL AGENT
Becoming a travel agent opens the door to a world of possibilities—exploring exciting destinations, helping people plan their dream vacations, and earning income while doing what you love. You get to enjoy the perks of travel discounts, insider knowledge, and the ability to earn commissions on everything from luxury cruises to all-inclusive resorts.
The path to becoming a travel agent is flexible, rewarding, and full of opportunity.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through what it’s really like to be a travel agent, why partnering with a host agency is a smart choice, and how this career can offer you the freedom to build something for yourself. Plus, you’ll discover the different ways you can start your journey and find out how to get started—when you’re ready!
Three Ways To Be A Travel Agent
There are a few ways to kickstart your career as a travel agent, each has their pros and cons depending on your goals and lifestyle. You could start your own agency for complete independence or join an established travel agency to gain experience within a structured setting. The most popular path is joining a host agency, allowing you to build your own business with industry support and resources.
Start Your Own Agency
This path gives you full control, but it’s also the most costly and complex. Starting your own travel agency means you’re responsible for everything—finding vendors, getting insurance, handling all the admin, and creating your training programs. It can be rewarding, but it’s also a lot to manage, especially if you’re just starting out.
Work For An Agency
You can also work directly for an established travel agency, where you’ll have a steady paycheck and a more structured schedule. However, you’ll likely have a boss, a fixed schedule, and possibly commission restrictions. This option offers less flexibility and freedom, but it can be a stable way to get experience.
Own Your Business
This is by far the most popular and flexible choice. When you partner with a host agency, you own your own business and can work on your own terms. You get the freedom to choose your hours, set your own goals, and decide how much you want to earn. And the best part? All the support, vendor access, and admin work are handled for you by the host agency.
In this guide, we’ll give you a peek into what it's like to work with a host agency and set up your profitable travel business.
