It’s time to start the career of your dreams as a travel agent! Get ready for the fun of having your job revolve around fantastic locales and experiences! Get ready for the satisfaction of helping people have the trip of a lifetime! Get ready for the excitement of discounts on your own travel!

Get ready to… hand over part of your 💸 commission to a host agency? 😧

For a lot of budding travel professionals, that last one is NOT part of the dream they’re trying to live. They want the full freedom to set their own goals and ⏳ hours, to not have to be under anybody else’s ☂️ umbrella, and to bring home the entirety of the 💰 commissions they earn. And that means becoming an independent travel agent.

You may be wondering if you are cut out to be an independent travel agent, especially if this is the first time you’re dipping your toes into the travel business. You may be wondering how you can be trained as an independent travel agent. You may be wondering what you have to do to get started. 🧐
