So, you're planning on sharing your passion for travel with guests from all over the world? Want to sell vacations to Sandals Resorts, Royal Caribbean, Universal Orlando, or maybe even river cruises with Viking Cruise Line?
So, you’re a big fan of Mickey, Universal, or maybe sailing with Royal Caribbean. Now you want nothing more than to share that passion with guests from all over the world, selling trips and giving families tips so they can also have the time of their lives. To do that, you need to become a travel agent.
One of the best and most memorable lines from any theme park attraction lives on forever in this post.
One of the most common questions we here at VacationLab get is… do I need some sort of prior experience to become a travel agent?
Showing expertise, staying curious, and having a good travel agency as your umbrella is a great step toward building your client base. And soon enough, you can become a Lionel Messi too.
Travel agents earn money through commissions on the trips they book for clients. The more trips you book, the more you earn.
Well, if you want the short answer, your job is to help guests travel and enjoy their trips. This could be a vacation to Disney World, a work trip to Dubai, a cruise on Royal Caribbean, and so much more.
Being a travel agent isn’t easy, but it can be incredibly rewarding. To attract new clients, you need to invest in yourself as much as you do when planning a dream vacation, whether it’s booking a cruise for a family of five to Alaska or organizing a Disney World trip with a stay at the Grand Floridian. You need to network within your circle of friends, leverage social media to market your name, showcase your expertise with training badges and certifications, and more. Oh, and you’ll need a bit of luck too, but that’s true for many things in life.
