Attempting travel agent work online

United States
July 19, 2022 8:41pm CST
I am in the process of trying to do travel agent work online. I finished training and have the certification I need to work at the agency as an Independent Contractor. I have added my travel agent website to my profile here and other places to try to get it noticed. I went to school for this right out of high school and also have an Associate's degree in the field, however old it might be, lol. I really hope it works out because I really need to catch a break. The best part is any travel I book using the agency I work for and my credentials with them I earn a commission on it. I also get to access tons of travel agent discounts now. I am very excited!

That's nice. Let me know if you land the work as one. I may need a travel agent one day.

Thanks. I am all set up to work at it now. I am an Independent Agent with an agency and work from home. I have the booking site and all those things I need to do it, now I just need people to come to my website and book travel, lol. I had to pass training first, which I just did. All about getting clients and website traffic now.

@sickofbeingick22 That's nice. If you are a travel agent, it means you also taking other requests from travellers from another country or only USA?

@Adie04 I think I can help anyone that can visit my website and get help from me. It doesn't say that I can't have clients from outside USA.

I certainly hope I do go a very long way with it. I am lucky to have found the opportunity and to have gotten the schooling in the past to be able to do it.
