Thanks to the Internet,
many jobs and businesses from various industries may now be done from
home. Among these are travel agent jobs and home-based
travel agencies. Being a home-based travel agent does not require
a big investment or special skills, and thus can be done by
practically anyone. However, if you do not have the right experience
for the job, it would be best to affiliate yourself with a host
travel agency.
A host travel agency
offers training, accounting, and booking support to its home-based
agents, which are especially ideal to those who have little or no
background in the travel industry. While you may need to share your
commissions with the agency, you will also have a greater chance of
getting more clients because of the host agency's network and travel
industry credentials. The income you can get from working with more
clients through your affiliation with a host agency may come up to a
lot more than from working independently but with a smaller
clientele.
It is important to choose
the right host travel agency to work with. You can check such sources
as the Better Business Bureau to learn about a potential agency's
credentials, as well as ask around from existing home-based travel
agents. You then need to review the benefits the agency offers and
the fees they require, and compare these against those of other
agencies. Some host travel agencies require a start-up fee while
others don't. You will also want to compare commission rates.
