- What Do You Have To Do To Become A Travel Agent?
This is absolutely one of the very top questions I get on a regular basis: “What do you have to do to become a travel agent?” 🤔
Since I started my own journey as a travel agent way back in the 90s, the industry has grown and changed and had its 🎢 ups and downs. The processes, the available resources, the required skills, the competition… The environment for becoming a travel agent today looks very different than it did when I first started.
But the one fundamental thing that stays the same in the travel industry no matter what is that a travel agent’s job is to serve clients and ensure that they have the very best travel experience possible. As a beginner travel agent, you have to start somewhere, so it might as well be there. To become a travel agent, you have to make sure you have a ❤️ heart and a 🧠 mind for serving the client and making them happy.
Okay, so that’s what you need to do philosophically to become a travel agent. But what else? Do you have to go to school? Get an apprenticeship? Take a travel equivalent of the Hippocratic Oath? (“First, do no harm… to the client’s vacation by booking them into a timeshare presentation without telling them.”) 😄
In my latest 📽️ video, “What Do You Have To Do To Become A Travel Agent?” I break down what you are required to do to become a travel agent, as well as what you should do. As always, there is a difference.
I hope this video helps you see that becoming a travel agent is within your grasp. There is nothing stopping you from being a part of this exciting and vital profession. And with the right attitude and work ethic, you can be a big success, help lots of people, and have the time of your life doing it.

This video was really helpful! I'm brand new to the travel world, and I signed up with a host agency. While they promise to walk newbies through everything to become a travel agent, it still feels like a bunch of puzzle pieces instead of a fluid, step-by-step what to do, like you're talking about.
My “why” is to have a little bit more freedom in my life overall. I have been working as a hotel sales and events manager for the past 8 years and have been in the hospitality industry since I was a teenager. Back in October I was laid off due to COVID, and had to take a step back to figure out what I truly wanted from my life. I needed a little bit more freedom as to where I work from, and came to realize that I need to work either at home, with the opportunity to be mobile as well. I also wanted to shift from working for a hotel specifically, to being able to plan travel for other people around the world, with the background knowledge that I have, and my passion for travel and for sales/planning.
I am starting travel school next month online at a local college here in Canada so I am definitely looking forward to this next step. 🥰
Good at luck in your courses!
I’m new.
One of the reasons I wanted to do this was purely the travel itself and helping people make memories for decent prices. I love finding great deals and being able to save money.
What tactics do you use
@@roselynholloway7863 I don’t do this professionally, but I look at Priceline, compare to what may be offered by hotels/attractions on their websites, and now currently because of my job, the main corporation offers a “discount mall” so I can also compare discounts on that as well. I love doing my research to find the best “bang for the buck” as they say
My “why” for starting as a travel agent is to have fun, doing something that I’m passionate about and help other people have the best travel experience ever.
Kind you give travel agency email address and phone number
Have you started
I'm new! My "why" is twofold - I LOVE travelling, and my job is very involved and I don't get get spend as much time with my family as I'd like. I want to work from home, travel where I want and be able to drop off my kids AND pick them up from school, while making the bread and butter that I currently do :)
Welcome! :-). So glad you found the channel. I love your reasons, I am a Mom of 3 and completely get that! :-) Definitely feel free to take the free masterclass: www.careersonvacation.com/masterclass
Awesome video! I'm so happy to have found you! Like a lot of others here, I love to dig in and find those gems that really fit a travelers needs. I love to find the beat values, and the ambiance that fits the vacation. I've liked this for a long time, but went into overtime this month! I'd love to learn more, and share with others! Thank you for your content!
Hi Cyndi, I'm new and so glad I found your videos! I've been thinking about becoming a travel agent for a few years now and this information is very helpful!
Welcome!
I have just started researching. The hosting was what was attractive, but I didn't realize until getting into more detail that I would be on my own. Thank you for the information! This is super helpful.
Hey I’m new to your channel and I’m so glad I found you ! I think I finally found my place 🥰 I can’t wait to learn everything to have to offer to teach
I am from a very small town, I grew up in a little county in WV never thinking or dreaming of going other places. When I hit high school my dads job took us to three different states and really opened my eyes. I moved out of my home town at 16 years old. I still live in WV (different area ) but I am very very blessed to work for an amazing company that gives me three weeks vacation a year while I’m only working 30hours a week. I just got home from my second ever (and this year!!) solo vacation!! It is the most freeing, independent, eye opening thing anyone can do! I’d love to help solo traveler, because it can be super super scary but AMAZING. I love it. While on vacation this week I was in the fabulous Las Vegas, all my Facebook friends from the east coast were messaging me every day asking me “what do you do for a living?”, “wow you are having so much fun!”, “I’d love to go to Vegas!!”, “next time you go to Vegas, bring me with you!” It felt good. I just wanted to give everyone pointers and the confidence of “if I can do it, you can do it!”
Please, I need assistance like info from you about traveling.
@@Ujay.allbizare you also trying to get into the industry
Lots of great points. A lot to think about.
I'm new, will start a college travel course in January 2023. I LOVE TRAVELING THE WORLD AND PLAN TRIPS FOR OUR ENTIRE FAMILY. I want to work from home.
I am so glad I found your channel. I am wanting to know more. I will check out your other videos
Hi Cyndi, I'm NEW! My name is Cheryl Smith and I am so motivated to learn from you. Can't wait to take your Master Mind class. I absolutely LOVE to travel to learn about different cultures and see the beauty in this world. I also love the planning process of researching different destinations and discovering the best way to enjoy them. See you soon!
I’m new and really thinking about jumping into this. Thank you for you time and talents.
Thank you so much for making this video. I have learned a lot. I am an independent agent with an affiliation. You have motivated me to launch my own business starting with becoming certified. God bless.
Thank you so much, I just finished watching a recent webinar and it was filled with so much wonderful information. I have always loved traveling and planning trips for my family as well as for others. I often get questions from friends about my travels, trips and destination information. I have always thought about becoming a travel agent. I am in that place in my life that I want to make a career change and this is the direction that I feel I am being directed. I want to enjoy going to work because I love what I am doing. There is so much information out there and you have made the research a lot easier. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I started watching you recently and i love how happy and enthusiastic you are😊
Welcome to the channel!
Hey Cyndi, I'm new here but have been watching your videos for awhile now. I had my Discovery call yesterday with Trish and will be having a follow-up tomorrow. I am excited and look forward to becoming a client of yours!
Joe, that's amazing. I look forward to supporting you on your journey. I'll see you in class soon. Congratulations & kudos on leaning in and starting your new adventure. -Cyndi
Hi Cyndi Thank you so very much for this video. I ended up in one of the hosting Travel Agent programs you referenced in this video. I thought the webinar was a job offer for a customer service rep position. upon going through the webinar I joined but after hearing the pros and cons, marketing and online business with attention to the Post-Covid traveling. I am beginning to think I have made a grave error with joining. I had reservations thinking this sounded like MLM but as the host went on I though well maybe i am being paranoid. however after seeing your video and viewing the training modules i took a total of 15 min I will definitely remove myself. What hit home was the "teaching myself to become a travel agent" the light went on and I feel more informed. Thank you for the insight. I can only say it was meant to be because your video came on right after the said training video from the Hosting Travel Agent's video. I will look into your mastermind's courses and maybe you can evaluate my passion for this business vs hobby. Greatly appreciated
Hey! I'm new! I've done quite a bit of traveling and I have planned over a handful of trips that I had big groups join me on! So I've already learned a few dos and don'ts. After sitting still for a few years, and recently investing in a travel trailer to live in full time, I came up with the idea that I should get paid for this. haha so nice to meet you Cyndi, and thanks for your help!
I love to travel!!! I’m always planning trip for the family members and helping my friends. I love to look for different beautiful places for us and travel free
.
Hi Cyndi, thx for the vod

Hello Cindy! I'm new and so glad I found you!!
I appreciate this all, as I am in the beginning stages of research to see what is best for me and current skill level. I have been out of the travel/hospitality industry for 12 years. I have a degree in Travel and Tourism. I am eager to learn more about the industry as it is very fascinating.
Awe that's nice, how are you doing Renee
Hi Cyndi! I am new in your Chanel and I love your videos!
Hello Cindy ! Happy New Years to you and yours . Ty from a new subscriber from NOLa
One of the main things I love about my job as a railroad brakeman/conductor is I get to travel to most places that truckers and roadies and even some rail passengers, don't often get to see.
How did u become a brakeman?
@@monicamartinez9537 Apply to a railroad offering the position and attend training? Sorry but not exactly sure what you mean with this question.
Hi Cindy. So glad I found you today. I've been trying to become an independent agent for the last 5yrs, and I've only come across MLM's which im not interested in. I want to become an agent because I travel a lot and so do my family and friends. I want to be the go to person in my circle, for all their travel needs.
Hi Cyndi! I’m glad I found you! I have always loved travel/hospitality and am often the organizer in my circles. I have an Associates degree in hospitality management and have been with a host mlm agency for too long. I haven’t been very active yet but am ready to step it up! Before doing so I’m leaning towards being independent and trying to figure out how! Any info is appreciated!
Welcome!
I love seeing new places ...I love planning trips and helping others do the same

Hi! Im aliyna! I used to be a travel agent thru Bank of America so i know how to use sabre red and all if i needed too! I took their own class when i worked with them. I absolutely loved it so much so that is my why. I understand how booking your own travel can be overwhelming so being there to help them it was so joyful!
I love to travel with family and friends and get other people to travel with me and I loved traveling because all of the new things to see
Great info!
I signed up to take masterclass but brought me here! Great info but still hoping to find that one.
Hi!!! I'm new!!! Thanks for the video.
my purpose is to build my own business wit something im passionate about. i have wanted to travel the world since a child, so i might as well get paid for it. there is so much beauty & experience to life that you can gain through traveling. i think that's giving back to the world
I started with Evolution in June 2022. I just finished my trainings, launched my website, and social media platforms. I'm now at that point where I'm stuck on figuring out how to gain clients. I feel like there's so much more to learn about running my business.
Welcome to the travel industry!
How is it going and did you get help with setting up your website and social media?
I love to travel to explore and learn. I work full time in hospitality and love who I work .
Hi👋🏾 Cyndi I’m curious to learn how to become a travel agent. Honestly I am more hooked on wanting to travel than anything lol, which is what lead me to either becoming a flight attendant/or travel agent. I’m kinda all over the place because some day I’ll like to move abroad as well but trying to get many things in order before that happens. I need help & all I keep coming up with is Travel ok ty😊
I’m new!! Not a travel agent but always been interested since working with an agent years ago.
My WHY………interested in the travel industry as I approach retirement. Interested in a part-time endeavor. I simply love to plan my family trips and TRAVEL.
Thank you
I’m new here! 🙋🏾♀️ I am a women’s weekend travel club founder/organizer! I’m becoming a travel agent after increased group membership AND consistent interest in having access to a travel agent. Thank you for the very informative videos! ❤️
Are you now a travel agent
I'm new here and am enjoying your videos
Hi Cyndi! I’m new. Not sure if you may have covered this or not, but I think one of the confusing things is about CLIA and IATAN. whether is is needed when you are beginning. Some articles I’ve read says it’s a must, others say you don’t have to. That’s kind of where I’m at, at the moment. Love your videos!!!!
Hi Chad! You do not need a CLIA or IATAN number if you are working under a host agency as they would provide one for you. If you are looking to start your own agency, yes you would need CLIA or IATAN to book travel so you can receive commission. I hope this helps!

Hey Cyndi! I’m new, and interested in becoming a travel agent. I have loved travel since childhood, most of my fondest memories are of my various travels, and I want to help others expand their horizons in life through travel experience. I have traveled through most of the US, and started traveling outside of the country two years ago, living in Mexico for 6 months, then traveling to Brasil for 6 weeks last year. This year I already have my ticket for Thailand for two months there. To make a good living helping others experience new things, make great memories, and expand their world view while Mai ring the ability to continue in my travels sounds like a wonderful path for me at this point in life.

Hi! I am new here. I have been in the hotel industry for 20+ years and about to become an empty nester. I am considering the opportunity to become a travel agent as I am looking for more freedom from the daily 9-5, my husband and I love to travel and I get excited about researching travel destinations and activities. I feel like becoming a travel agent would be a win win!

Yes!!! I have been stalking your videos. I am trying to become an agent. I have already traveled a lot and crused many many times. I would love to help people do the same. Id like to learn where to start and how to get certified and all that good stuff. So if you could help, that would be great!!
I am with a host agency for past 6 years and wouldn’t turn back! We teach agents, we host trainings and it has changed my life with the host agency! Definitely not on my own with it. I had the opportunity to quit my jobs, book travel full time and travel when I want! Best decision ever!
I didn’t go to travel school etc
I learned so much from my host agency!
And we show you how to get 100%
It’s great with the company I am with 🥰🥰
Who are you with?
What companies are you with . I am definitely interested
All of the bragging to not tell us the agency you work with 🙄😒
Bc the messages I do not see until they go to my email & gets stuck in spam .
