Benefits of Becoming a Travel Agent

Wednesday, October 23, 2013

Travel agents have access to a lot of discounts, special rates, and travel offers that enable them to pass on the savings—and advice—to their customers. You get to have first taste of the industry information and promotions that, if you understand people's passion for travel and vacation, would seem just the perfect job for you.

Travel Benefits

Travel agents are usually given heavily discounted or complimentary stays in hotels all over the world. Some hotels extend their discounts to traveling agents in the hopes that if they enjoyed their stay in these hotels, they would highly recommend them to their clients. One of the main reasons why people choose a career in this industry is because of the opportunity for travel.

FAM Trips

Another benefit of being a travel agent are the FAMs or familiarization trips. This type of benefit is given to travel agents to allow them access to different destinations around the world. All-expenses paid trips are given to top selling and large-scale agents every year to lure them to offer the same to their clients. The more exciting the experience, the more enthusiastic the sales pitch.

Doing What You Really Love

Most travel agents get into this field because many of them are travelers themselves. They get the opportunity to work in this field while getting paid to travel and see the world. Successful travel agents are those who get to impart—and infect—their love for travel and places to their clients.
