Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm on a cruise and part of the reason why is because I decided to become a travel agent and you can too.

It's surprisingly easy to become a travel agent, but what's difficult is becoming a good travel agent.

The first and most important step is to research host agencies.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Research host agencies and their commission split, monthly fees, and fit for your needs.
✓Select a host agency that provides high-quality free training.
✓Take online trainings at your own pace to master the business and booking travel.
