travel agency

My siblings and I are seriously thinking of putting up a travel agency. Do you think it is still a good idea to put up one, considering the financial crisis we all are experiencing today? Have you already setup your own agency?

First you need to find a travel agency company that you want to work with. for example my uncle is a travel agent and he works with ytb, which is a great TA online because he gets commissions for basically EVERYTHING. So ytb is a good choice for a travel agency but you can always check out others on the internet..

I am a travel agent and I do have my own agency here in Texas, USA. I love being a travel agent. I did my schooling online with The Travel Institute, then I took several distination courses, and received my cruiseline training to get my CLIA license. You must first find a host agency you can work for before venturing out on your own to give you the experience you need and also to help you get all the licenses. Plus you must have errors and omissions insurance. It does cost alot to start your own agency and alot of paperwork to go through. But It has been well worth it I love my job and everyday is an adventure through the eys of my client. If you would like more information, Please PM me and I will try to help you. My company is not MLM as some of the companies that have responded to are. Be careful how you choose a host agency as there is some on the net that will scam you. As well as sites selling travel.

just have complete knowlege of various means of transport. make a network or fix a aggrement with existing agencies for support if you are not that confident. hold a lumsum amount with u always.

I am a referring travel agent and have my own travel booking website www.ExcellentRateTravel.com. Our prices are comparable or less then the other sites. Actually the other sites have joined partnerships with us. If you would like to find out more about getting your own travel website, earning commissions, enjoying awesome travel perks, and much more check out www.VacationForSuccess.com
