How to Grant Dream Vacations as a Travel Agent

Thursday, July 18, 2013

It may not sound exciting at first glance, but travel agents can have thrilling careers. This service-oriented occupation can be quite rewarding on the personal, professional, and financial levels. You could think of it as a job that helps other people enjoy the best of what life has to offer.

To be a travel agent, you must at least have graduated high school and possess at least basic computer skills. A tourism degree, or even a major in related disciplines such as foreign studies, history, or even geography, can greatly improve an aspiring travel agent's chances of getting hired. It should be noted, though, that once applicants are hired as travel agents, they'll need to take supplementary classes that will teach them about current industry trends, as well as any important details they should know.


Being a travel agent entails interacting with a lot of different people. As such, would-be travel agents should be friendly, courteous, and most of all, patient. It can be nerve-wracking to attend to clients with lots of questions and demands, but in the end, it's all about making sure each customer leaves satisfied and enjoys a safe and smooth trip. If you're up to the task of helping people explore the world, then perhaps the role of a travel agent can suit you perfectly.
