How to Become a Travel Agent in Mississippi

Get information on Travel Agent Training programs by entering your zip code and request enrollment information.

The travel, tourism, and hospitality industry make up one of the largest industries in the world.

Many feel that they can research, plan and book their travel, but travel agents are much needed especially when planning group and corporate travel.

With more travel options than ever, it can be confusing for many individuals, looking for the best destinations at the best price.

Those that use popular sites like expedia.com also find that not all airlines are listed.

Smaller, new, or boutique airlines need to be booked directly on their websites.

This can be a painstaking and lengthy process.

More than ever, more people are going back to using travel agents to plan their next dream vacation, or for their corporate travel needs.
