Travel Agent?
Good Evening Chuck:
In addition to being actively engaged in the industry on the sales or marketing end of it there is another avenue that you may wish to explore. That of a Tour Conductor or Group Leader. We have many friends who do not want to be involved at the "business" level but like to organize travel groups and escort them somewhere. Sometimes Cruises, sometimes Tours, and sometimes just a quick bus trip to a Casino. This is a great entry into the industry without having to make any commitments of time or money. Any of your local Agencies would be happy to talk to you on this subject I am sure and there is a trade journal for people interested in this aspect of the business, http://www.traveltipsmagazine.com Always feel free to ask questions ....... Cal Ford Lido Deck Cruises In article .net, Chuck says... I normally know a scam when I see one, and I feel that most "home businesses" are scams, but... I was thinking of checking into the travel agent home businesses, not so much for the money, but for the travel benefits. In fact I don't know that I would even try to sell much travel, maybe to close friends or something. Has anyone done this? Do the "home based" travel agents get the discounts like a real travel agent gets? Can you recommend someone to go through to get going? Just looking for opinions... I'm sure the real travel agents will have an opinion!! haha Thanks... Chuck (ducking the flames) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
