How to Become a Travel Agent in 2024

[@navydoc041]

Hi Jill! Thanks for the video. In your experience and time in the industry, how has onlime booking sites affected your businesses? Are you worried at all about future tech, AI taking over your career? Lastly, is there any future concern regarding cruising companies cutting commissions, as did the airlines?

I love this video--contemplating to fo this part time. Is selling luxury travel with dean horvath okay?

[@jillcanning]

Thanks! I think luxury travel is definitely a good idea and can be lucrative! I I don't have experience with Dean Horvath but I would suggest reaching out to them if you're interested in learning more about their agency and structure! :)

Hi there - thanks so much for the video. I am an avid traveller and I would love to start my own travel company. Please can you narrow down my search and mention the best travel host for a beginner agent? I would appreciate it so much. Thank you in advance.

Hi! You might want to look into Fora. Or, perhaps Outside Agents, Avoya, or Cruise Planners. I believe they all have pretty good training for new travel agents!

[@denimakes5976]

I am curious who you are hosted by! I think I have picked my host agency, but may need to look into yours!

[@jillcanning]

Hi! My host is Travel Experts, I love them! Who will you go with? I'm excited for you! 💛

[@denimakes5976]

@ I am leaning toward Incentive Connection Travel. I spoke with one of their agents who lives 4 hours away from me and it turned out I knew her! I looked at that as a sign.

Great video. I was wondering if is a specific agency that specializes in cruising?

[@jillcanning]

Hi! Thanks! Cruise Planners is great or KHM Travel, but truly you can go with any host agency and proactivity seek out specific cruise training for your business. I hope this helps! 🙂

[@denimakes5976]

Use any host and choose Cruises as your niche!

This video is so informative. I’m thinking about becoming a travel agent for some extra money. Are there big differences in contractual obligations between different host agencies?

[@jillcanning]

Hi! I'd say the biggest difference is the commission structure - they can each differ so be sure to review them and select the one that suits you best. Also, if you would like training to be included in your partnership with them, ask them before signing on! Sometimes, it's worth making less commission at first in order to receive the training you require. I hope this is helpful, good luck! 🙂

⁠@@jillcanningvery helpful. I appreciate and value your input. ❤

[@johnfleming3751]

wow great video I see that most of the TRAVEL AGENT are woman is there a difference ? do customers prefer them over men?

[@jillcanning]

Hi! I don't know why this is - but I wouldn't say that customers prefer women over men. I don't think it makes any difference! All are welcome into the travel industry equally! 🙂
