Is it difficult to get started as a travel agent?

Becoming a travel agent with no experience is possible, but it requires dedication and hard work. By developing your skills, choosing a niche, getting certified, building your network, and gaining experience, you can create a successful career in the travel industry.

Is it worth becoming a travel agent?

Becoming a travel agent not only allows you to plan trips for others but also gives you access to special discounts on various aspects of travel. This is true for your clients, as well as yourself. Travel agents have access to a variety of discounted rates on airlines, hotels, and more, even when booking travel for personal use.

Do travel agents make a profit? 

Travel agents earn a commission on selling travel, but the amount can vary depending on the supplier and whether they are affiliated with a consortium or host agency, which may take a percentage of their commission as well.
