Travel Agent Jobs Guide

The Ultimate Guide to Work-From-Home Travel Agent Jobs

Being a travel agent is a great part-time job for anyone that has a passion for travel, wants a flexible job that fits their current life, and out of the 9-5 model of jobs. Here we will show you the ultimate guide in having one of these work-from-home travel agent jobs.

What Does a Travel Agent Do?

If you are looking to expand your career opportunities and you love to travel, you may have asked yourself, “ What are some fun part time jobs ?” Well, a travel agent’s job falls into the category of fun as you are helping people book and schedule their next dream vacation. It is a people-oriented type of job where you get to work with each client individually and understand their ideal holidays, so you can plan their best value and vacation suitable for them. Whether they’re a retired couple looking for a two-week vacation through Europe, or a group of friends that just want to have a weekend off from work, a travel agent works to create a vacation package to fit their customer’s needs.

Travel agents work directly with each of their clients to make sure their needs are met. This can include finding the lowest price possible due to budgetary restrictions or meeting specific dietary, medical, or accessibility needs.

Travel agents work at their own pace during the year – there really is no off-season. Although, it is common to have higher demand during peak vacation booking times. In cruising, the industry’s busy booking season is typically January through March, known as ‘wave season.’ While people tend to travel the most during the summer and holiday seasons, agents are focused on planning trips and making necessary changes for their clients year-round.

How Much Money Does a Travel Agent Make?

Travel agents make money based on commission . For every sale they make, a percentage of that goes towards their paycheck. It’s simple, the more a travel agent sells, the more they make. It makes sense that someone that works a full-time job as a travel agent will make more than a person who only works on the weekends or periodically throughout the month.

However, one of the main perks of being a travel agent is that location doesn’t play a huge role in how much money you make. As a home-based travel agent , you can work from home or any place that has an internet connection and do all of your work digitally. Your clients can be all over the country and you can still have personal access to them. No matter if you live in New York City or a little town like Mineola, Texas, you can earn commissions on the vacations you sell.

What Education or Training is Needed?

No specific degree or level of education is required to become a cruise travel agent . If you have a degree or experience in a travel agency or hospitality, it might help, but it is not required. When you join a travel agency like Dream Vacations, full training and ongoing educational opportunities are provided to you. You are provided with an initial training to help you hit the ground running, and then ongoing webinars and on-demand trainings are always available to help you better understand the business, industry and many destinations and suppliers you’ll be selling.

What Licensing is Required?

There are no regular licenses required to be a travel agent, except a business license in some states. As part of joining as an independent agent with Dream Vacations, we help you get industry certifications by learning the ins and outs of our industry to make sure that all of our clients, no matter which agent they choose to go with, get the quality customer service they deserve.

What Skills and Personality Work Best?

Being a travel agent can be your dream job come to life. So, let’s go over the few skills and personality traits that can make you a great travel agent.

  • Great Communication Skills  – As a travel agent you are constantly communicating and filtering the correct information to your clients. The better you can communicate effectively in-person or through digital platforms such as emails, the better your customers will be prepared for their trips and have access to the correct information.
  • Active Listening Skills  – A key part of being a travel agent is listening to what the customer needs and then trying to help them. Ask them questions and let them explain what they like, want or dream of. Paying close attention to what they say will be your guide in designing their dream vacation.
  • Professional Customer Service  – The best travel agents can provide amazing professional customer service. Chances are that your clients have previous experience with booking a vacation by themselves or with another agent. They’re coming to you to ensure the best experience and that everything is well taken care of. This means assessing them correctly and taking care of all the details a vacation package requires.
  • Detail Oriented  – They say “the devil is in the details,” and it’s important to pay attention to every one of them. Little things like layovers or boarding times for cruises can make or break a well-planned vacation. Clients always remember the little things like being seasick on their cruise because their room was at the top level of the front of the ship. Small details like room location, dinner plans or seasonal weather can make a big difference.
  • Being Well-Organized  – Travel agents get to  work from home , which means they are responsible for their own organization and office skills. This requires that you are an organized professional and you make sure that all clients are attended to and everything gets done in a clear and intentional way.
  • A Desire to Help People  – People turn to travel agents because they need help. They want professional help or perhaps want better service and guidance when booking their next vacation. The job of a travel agent is to help each customer with what they need.
  • Basic Understanding of Technology – An online travel agent job requires you to work online. That means your office is online and you just need a laptop, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection, and you are good to go.  The programs involved don’t require any advanced computer knowledge, but a travel agent does need to know how to manage and understand their devices to do their job.

What Is the Job Environment and Schedule Like?

Travel agents work from everywhere and anywhere. Even while they’re on trips or vacations, they can still take time to get work done. That means the environment can be anywhere from your house to your balcony suite overlooking the ocean. A travel agent job is one of the best jobs for stay-at-home moms , as well as people looking to make extra income in addition to their regular day job.

The work hours for travel agents fit their life. For some, this means they work normal business hours while their kids are out at school, while others work nights, weekends or whenever they can make the time. There are no requirements to how much you have to work – you can work whenever you want and get paid to book travel whenever you can!

What Are the Job Prospects for a Travel Agent?

The travel and tourism market has always been strong, and the demand for people wanting to travel and book their next dream vacation is there. There are a lot of options out there when it comes to vacations, and as options start to get to be more that’s when having expert advice, such as a travel advisor, comes in as a necessity. You help them focus on what is best for them and give them the best value for their money.

There is still a need in the market for work-from-home travel agent jobs, from entry level to experienced. Customers are looking for personalized customer care with their needs in mind, and a travel agent is the best way to get that. You can get to know the industry and become a work-at-home travel agent with Dream Vacations with the guidance of a franchise owner who will help and mentor you. Now is the time to make money selling vacation packages !

Still have questions? We got you.

What is a fora advisor is it the same as a travel advisor or travel agent.

The terms travel agent and travel advisor are used interchangeably. The original term was ‘travel agent,’ but the industry has gone through a bit of a rebrand to showcase the breadth of work that a travel advisor does. We use both! 

Personally, we like to think of Fora Advisors as next-generation travel agents. Sure, we earn money by selling and booking trips, but it’s so much more than a transaction. Fora Advisors are consultants and advocates for their clients. We work with clients to understand their vacation needs and handle all the travel arrangements, from booking a staycation to planning a honeymoon. 

A Fora Advisor has access to all of Fora’s training resources, including seamless technology (which makes booking a breeze) and access to specialists with destination expertise. Even better, Fora Advisors don’t have to worry about tracking commission payments or invoicing travel partners. We handle all of that, so our advisors can focus on what they love: building their business in travel.

What does a travel agent (a.k.a. Fora Advisor) do?

A travel agent is someone who sells, curates and books travel, typically working under a host agency (like Fora). Travel agents consult with clients on where to go, what to do and where to stay — and earn commission from booking hotels, cruises, experiences and more. In addition to planning and booking trips, agents communicate with hotels and other partners (tour companies, cruises, etc.) to ensure each trip goes smoothly.

How do I become a travel agent? Do I get a travel agent license?

Fora is a host agency and all of our advisors are automatically licensed to sell, book and plan travel as soon as they join our membership program. Fora offers turn-key infrastructure, tools and resources to get you set up with everything you need to succeed as a travel advisor, including expert-led training, commission tracking and payments, seamless tech to make bookings a breeze and more.

The first step to become a travel agent is to apply to join Fora . Enter your email on this page and you’ll be prompted with a survey to tell us more about yourself. Once you apply, we’ll be in touch if it’s a good fit. From there, you’ll be able to sign up with our membership program and start booking from day one.

Where do travel agents work?

Some travel agents work in an office, but Fora Advisors can work from anywhere (the flexibility we offer is one of the reasons our advisors love us). All you need is a passion for travel, a WiFi connection, an entrepreneurial mindset and a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude — and a few potential clients in your network don't hurt either. Whether you’re looking for a flexible way to monetize your love for travel, looking to build a travel business or are a seasoned veteran in the industry, you can call Fora home.

What types of travel can I book as a Fora Advisor?

Some Fora Advisors focus solely on booking hotels, while others offer full itinerary planning including and on-the-ground experiences (tours, activities, transportation…). In addition to hotels, advisors can book villas, cruises, yacht charters, vacation packages, all-inclusives, car rentals, travel insurance and private aviation.

Where do travel advisors book trips to?

If you can dream it, you can book it. Our advisors book vacations to Costa Rica (a community favorite), Paris , Montana , all around the Caribbean , Australia and beyond. No destination is off-limits (yes, Fora Advisors even book travel to Antarctica ).

What kinds of travel partnerships does Fora have?

Fora has partnered with more than 5,000 hotels, meaning our advisors have access to exclusive upgrades & perks at 5,000+ properties around the world, many of which belong to prestigious collections including Virtuoso , Four Seasons , Rosewood and more . We work with both high-end luxury partners as well as lifestyle boutique partners. At Fora, it’s all about meeting your clients where they're at.

How do Fora Advisors get paid?

Fora travel advisors get paid by earning commissions from their clients' trips — usually from hotel and travel bookings. Travel partners typically pay the agent 10 to 15 percent of the total cost, but sometimes more (depending on the brand and type of partner). 

Unlike other agencies (where travel advisors frequently have to chase their own commission), we're proud to offer a full-service, backend commission-management department. We pay out commission once your client has finished their trip. The process is seamless, but don't just take our word for it: hear directly from Fora Advisor in .

What is Fora's commission split?

Fora Advisors take home the majority (70 percent) of each commission, and Fora keeps a small portion (30 percent) as the host agency. After you book more than $300k in commissionable travel in a calendar year, the split changes to 80/20.

Are there minimum bookings?

At Fora, never. You're empowered to book in accordance with your schedule, and on your own terms.

How quickly can I start booking?

Right away! Once you’ve signed up and joined an onboarding call, you will be set up with our IATA number and can start selling ASAP. No need to wait.

I am a travel content creator. Can I join Fora?

Yes! Booking travel is a great way for creators to expand on their travel income streams. It is important to note that the role of a Fora Advisor is rooted in planning and booking travel, which is different from an affiliate program.

I am already a professional travel advisor. Can I join Fora?

Of course! As professional travel advisors ourselves, we’re excited to welcome experienced travel agents to our community. We’re advisor-centric to our core, so there’s something here for everyone, no matter where you are on your advisor journey.

Is Fora a multi-level marketing (MLM) company?

Nope! We never require advisors to recruit other advisors, and our advisors’ earnings come from booking travel. Advisors don’t profit off of anyone else’s bookings. Fora Advisors are independent contractors and earn commissions on their own, without any contingencies, limits or minimums. And, advisors can cancel their Fora subscription and stop booking at any time. No questions asked.

Does Fora have E&O insurance?

Yes. Fora has E&O Insurance coverage that extends to you upon joining.

Do I need an LLC to join Fora?

As part of joining Fora, you will be a 1099 independent contractor. You do not need to have an LLC to sign up with Fora. Should you want to, though, you can onboard with Fora as an LLC, rather than an individual contractor.

How much does Fora's subscription plan cost?

We charge advisors a monthly ($49) or annual ($299) subscription fee, which includes the cost of Fora’s technology platforms, certified training, admin support and our community app. We’ll set you up with everything you need to succeed, from your first booking to your 1,000th and beyond.

How do I get started?

Sign up! Enter your email on this page and you’ll be prompted to complete a detailed survey on your travel style and experience. If you meet our criteria, we'll get you onboarded and show you the ropes, so you can start booking travel in no time.

Since a work permit is valid maximum for 1 year, it is necessary to start processing a new work visa 6 months after receiving the current work visa.

Citizens of the CIS do not need a visa to enter Russia, and Work permit is issued for them in the simplified order for 10 working days and 4000 ₽ approximately.

Company – member of AmCham can process the documents in Moscow in “one window” mode for its foreign colleagues working not only in Moscow, but also in any other region of Russia.

  • Annual electronic application for foreign manpower need submitted to the Migration quotas automated information system.
  • Placement of vacancy in the administration of Civil service of the employment of population.

  • Work permit for foreigner (Plastic Card) in the Migration police.

If you earn significantly more or less than your partner, how do you split payments for things like housing, food, household essentials, entertainment and holidays? 

Do you both pay equally, do you split costs according to income, or do you have another method?

Wetherspoons has revealed it is seeing soaring demand for Guinness among younger drinkers. 

The Irish stout has become "fashionable" among younger generations, according to JD Wetherspoon chairman Tim Martin, who has also seen a rise in ale sales. 

Wetherspoons, which runs 809 pubs across the UK, said like-for-like sales increased 5.2% over the 13 weeks to 28 April compared with a year earlier, with total sales up 3.3%.

The company has now said it expects annual profits to be "towards the top of market expectations". 

Toyota has warned it faces an impending drop in income after it was forced to cut down production to address a safety scandal. 

The carmaker, which is the world's largest by sales, had a record net profit of 4.94trn yen (£25.5bn) in the year to March.

But earlier this year it became embroiled in a scandal after it emerged one of its subsidiaries had cheated on safety tests. 

The Japanese government subsequently ordered the supplier, Daihatsu Motor Co, to halt production of its entire line-up.

Toyota has now warned net income will fall 27.8% this financial year to 3.57trn yen because of investments.

Morrisons has acquired 38 convenience stores and six fuel forecourts in the Channel Islands.

They are located on the islands of Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney. 

The supermarket acquired the stores from its long-time partner SandpiperCI. 

More than 500 employees from Sandpiper CI will be transferred across. 

Underwhelming box office performances have signalled cinemagoers might be starting to tire of superhero films. 

And now Disney has announced it will cut its output of Marvel content, moving to two television series and three films per year. 

The company's chief executive, Bob Iger, said Disney would "reduce output and focus more on quality" particularly when it came to Marvel. 

Some 33 Marvel films have been released since 2008, but recent releases such as The Marvels and the latest Ant-Man film have underperformed. 

The Marvels was the lowest grossing film in the franchise's history, generating just £165m - less than its budget of £219m. 

At the same time, Disney Plus revealed worse-than-expected subscriber numbers and a slowdown in its traditional broadcast television business. 

Its shares dropped 8.5% in morning trading.

Brighton Palace Pier is introducing a £1 admission fee. 

It has been implemented to cover the rising costs of maintaining, repairing and operating the 125-year-old structure, The Brighton Pier Group said. 

The group said in the last five years the annual cost had risen to £11.6m.

The admission fee will come into force from 25 May and will apply weekends in June and then the whole of July and August.

It will not apply to locals or children under two. 

Anne Ackord, chief executive of Brighton Palace Pier, said: "We have, to date, been able to offset and absorb these costs but we have now reached the point where, in our view, it is sensible to implement a small admission charge."

She said the fee would help the pier be "with us for generations to come". 

Jaguar Land Rover is offering £150 a month towards the cost of insurance to help drivers cope with rising premiums. 

The company announced the initiative will help those who own cars covered under its in-house insurance division that are registered between 1 May 2023 and 30 September 2023. 

In order for it to apply, the vehicle cannot be worth more than £150,000. 

If your car is eligible, Jaguar Land Rover has said it will make the contribution for up to three years. 

It comes after the company launched Land Rover Insurance in October after reports suggested car thefts were pushing up the costs offered by mainstream providers. 

"Customers of luxury cars and other luxury items are experiencing an increase in thefts due to organised criminal activity in the UK," a spokesperson said at the time. 

"The desirability of our luxury vehicles, coupled with concerns around thefts, has recently led to challenges in obtaining insurance cover for some clients." 

An airline entirely dedicated to dogs is arriving in the UK next month - but it will cost you more than £6,000 for you and your pet to enjoy it.

Bark Airlines will start by flying two routes - from London to New York and New York to LA. But it is hoping to add more to its roster soon. 

During the flights, your pooch will be given free access to roam the plane and will be provided with treats, as well as a beverage of their choice during ascent and descent to help with the change in pressure. 

On its website, Bark Airlines brags about being the first of its kind due to it being built "from the ground up" for dogs. 

The experience is very high end, with a concierge greeting you and your dog before the flight, a free pass through security and only 10 people per flight. 

The cabin also comes prepped with pheromones, music and lavender scented towels to help keep the beloved pets calm. 

A "just in case" bag is provided too, filled with leashes, poo bags and snacks. 

However, it comes with a hefty price tag of £6,400 for a one way ticket and under-18s are not allowed on board. 

Money struggles are forcing more than half of new mothers to return to work earlier than planned, according to a survey. 

Weekly statutory maternity pay and maternity allowance are now worth less than half the £400.40 minimum wage for a working week. 

Maternity Action, which spoke to more than 1,000 new mothers, found 62% rely on credit cards or borrowing from friends when pregnant or on maternity leave. 

Meanwhile, 59% have either returned or are planning to return to work earlier than preferred after the birth because of money worries. 

At least one mother described how it would take "years" for her to recover financially from the cost of maternity leave. 

Just 13% of women on maternity leave benefit from employers' occupational maternity pay schemes, down from 44% in 2008, according to government research. 

Some are unable to claim statutory maternity pay due to self-employment. 

Ros Bragg, director of Maternity Action, said: "The low levels of maternity pay and benefits come as a huge shock to many trying to start families. 

"We've heard from women skipping meals, relying on food parcels and becoming anaemic because they can't buy healthy food."

The French capital is about to raise the cost of public transport - impacting any city-breakers or those heading to the Paris Olympics this summer. 

Metro ticket prices will rise by more than 85% from 20 July, jumping from €2.15 (£1.85) for a single ticket to €4 (£3.43). 

The price for a city bus ticket will double from €2.50 (£2.15) to €5 (£4.29). 

It comes into force six days before the start of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and will remain in place until 8 September. 

The price of transport passes will stay the same, meaning regular travellers such as residents should be unaffected. 

To avoid the extra cost, you could buy a weekly travel pass. 

These are priced at €30.75 (£26.39) for zones 1 to 5 while a Navigo Day Pass costs €8.65 (£7.42) to travel across two zones. 

Tourists can also buy a Paris Pass which is aimed at people travelling for the Olympics and Paralympics. 

 The banking group has said some of its branches will close starting in September and continuing until May next year. 

Job cuts will be in the fraud operations department of the bank, central operations and staff who work at the branches earmarked for closure.

After this round of closures, TSB will have 175 branches across the UK. 

It announced earlier this year it would make cost-saving plans including cutting jobs and closing branches.

Trade union Unite said the decision by the UK high street lender was a "grave mistake".

"The decision to close a branch is never taken lightly, but our customers are now doing most of their banking digitally and we need to move to a better balance of digital and face-to-face services," a spokesperson for TSB said. 

"We remain committed to a national branch network and through innovation and integration with video, telephone, digital, branch and other face-to-face services TSB customers have more ways to bank with us than ever before."

See the list of closures here ...

A new savings account is offering customers a rate of 5.2% AER - making it a market leader. 

Raisin UK has partnered with Al Rayan Bank to offer the one-year Fixed-Term Deposit account. 

Those who deposit £1,000 can expect to have £1,052.00 in their account by the end of the year. 

The minimum deposit is £1,000, while the maximum is £85,000. 

Customers will not be able to withdraw from the account for the year. 

It is operated under Shariah principles, meaning interest cannot be earned but some of the profit the bank earns will be returned to you - meaning you can grow your savings without earning interest. 

Anna Bowes, co-founder of Savings Champion , tells the Money blog...

"It's good to see that although the markets are expecting the base rate to fall in the near future, the anticipated date for this keeps being pushed back, and this seems to have stimulated a little bit of competition among some savings providers – in particular fixed-term bonds - pushing rates upwards.

"This latest increase from Al Rayan Bank, available both directly and via the Raisin UK cash platform, is exactly what we like to see, and hopefully it will create a little more competition from other providers - pushing rates further in the right direction."

Anna points out this rate can be beaten with shorter fixes but in that instance "you'll need to find another home for your money on maturity, so fixing for a bit longer could actually realise more of a return in the end".
