Become a Travel Agent: Turn Your Passion for Travel into a Fun and Profitable Business

So, I'm assuming you want to: 

  • become a travel agent
  • or perhaps you already are a travel agent and wish to improve your results

Throughout this web site, we share 'insider secrets' to help you become a travel agent and  run a PROFITABLE travel agency business from home.  I highlight "profitable", because - let's face it - most travel agents don't make a lot of money


According to a report cited by the American Society of Travel Agents:
"(...) the average annual compensation for a travel agent was $30,750".

That's not enough to even cover the bills these days! - Let alone to travel the world, which is why many travel agents got into the business in the first place.

 

Why is the "average" travel agent income so low?  How can the average travel agent work so hard all year long to only make $30,000.00?

 

Here's why:  Most travel agents don't make a lot of money because of lack of information. 

I know this because I have seen travel agents  "do things differently", based on "different information", and make anywhere from $15,000.00 to $25,000.00 for just one sale.  


Travel agents DO receive a LOT of information about "travel" itself, mostly coming from the "suppliers" (tour companies, cruise lines, etc.) whose agenda is to to educate travel agents about their products.

 

However, the information travel agents need in order to double, triple or quadruple their income is (drumroll, please) ....


Well, that's precisely the type of information you will find on this web site:
