I finally became a travel agent ! Superb Support and Savings
My hairdresser told me about his client who lives around the corner from me and is a travel agent and saves money on her own travel - he said you can book others travel and earn commission or just use it to claim back the commission on your own travel -after organising to see her and then cancelling ( cold feet and I googled the company and did not feel convinced about it due to bad reviews online on sites like this which put me off for about 3 m ) and then organising to see her again , I bought an Independent Travel Agent’s licence for £142 which gives me access to the industry as an insider ( with Inteletravel UK) and with that comes discounts of up to 80% off - it’s amazing! I also help others do the same so they can save and earn commission from booking travel. ( there is a referral arm which is run completely separately to the travel agency ) you can choose to just become an independent travel agent ( £32/m admin fee for licenses and training )or join the referral side as well . There is no pressure to do that side at all - i chose to last month as i know i will retire in 10 years and also have some osteoarthritis issues in my fingers and no pension so thought id try that aspect now . But ultimately it gives you access to training and booking holidays , car hire , activities with major hotel chains and providers ( ski , cruise , travel ) so you can book for others ( and make 5-15%) commission and / or just book your own travel and earn the commission back or go direct to the hotels and access to travel industry only websites with amazing offers . Caveats - There is training will be around 6-10 hours - but i found it interesting and if you are responsible for booking someone's holidays then you should be expected to do the relevant mandatory training . There are many travel partners who conduct webinars and training in their products which are available in the back office to learn about different companies and how to book.You can do as much or as little as you like. Some companies eg Jumeriah , Marriot - require you to do their training - but it is worth it . i joined up to FB groups with a step by step guides to follow and whats app groups to ask for help and advice for training and booking and searching .The support structure is fantastic. And so is that of the head office too. Then you also have access to these staff only travel websites where I see cruises and Caribbean and Mexico and Mauritius and Dubai discounts weekly I am certain you will make a return on your investment…. Outlay for a year is just under £500 in the first year . I emailed 10 hotels and saved £3000 on my first personal booking and have saved over £5000 in 2 trips to the Caribbean already .I joined in Nov 2021 and wish I had joined sooner. Life is like a boomerang - you get what you put out .
