Would you imagine you can acquire basic accredited travel agent training plus own your personal internet travel company for a little over $1,000? I’m talking about being an recognized agent and owning a site like Expedia or Travelocity for that amazingly small amount. Where else on the planet might you buy a recognized start-up business enterprise for such an amount?
Just what are some of the attractive incentives of having that travel agent I.D. card? One huge advantage is what they call FAMs, short for familiarization tours. Travel providers generate these programs to familiarize travel agents with their features, hoping that they might send other travelers to arrange a trip. Lower rates may apply to:
* Hotel lodgings
* High end Voyages
* Automobile Rental fees
* Vacation Packages and Tours
* Admittance to Theme Parks, Shows and varied Attractions
* Free of charge upgrades and VIP treatment
You can also use your travel agent card to get special discounts on a variety of things. You simply ask what the standard rate is. Then you let them know you are a travel agent and ask what the travel agent rate is. If they're not already booked up, then you'll see the rate drop up to 50%-80% off the regular rate. You may get reduced or upgraded for travel insurance, festival tickets, train and bus fares, zoo visits, package excursions, safaris, white water rafting, and many other sights. Air carriers perform with such a limited revenue margin that you might not get a price cut on tickets, however it is quite possible you could obtain an upgrade to first class if there are vacancies.
As soon as you become a certified travel agent this is a synopsis of the sort of benefits you will have:
* As much as 70-80% discounts to a number of the earth's most enviable locations
*4-, 5-and 6-Star resorts and cruises
*Amazing financial savings on last second, blowout travel packages
*Access to fabulous FAMs (familiarization trips)
*Book your personal travel and enjoy commission rates for this!
*A likelihood to obtain commission on reserving group travel or travel for pals, family, and business associates.
*The opportunity to continue your travel education for even more industry accreditations and even fatter savings.
*Yank out that travel agent card and acquire discount rates on carnivals, hot-air balloon rides, scuba diving, or anything else you can imagine.
There are excellent tax advantages to being an agent also. As a licensed travel agent, you are a completely independent service provider running your own business out of your home or workplace. This could permit you specific tax advantages, such as tax write offs relating to the operation of your enterprise (telephone, mileage, additional costs) or expenses sustained to find out about a new destination, or to advertise your business to fellow-travelers, etc. A travel agent acquaintance of my wife’s just saved $2,000 in tax write-offs because of her travel along with other business-related expenses.
Now let me tell you just a little secret. In the event that you decide to create travel content articles and release them online, you might reap some special rewards you never anticipated. For instance, why don't we say that you authored several articles about a specific extraordinary Bed & Breakfast inn that attracted your eye. Let the B & B proprietors know what you’ve accomplished and let them Google the articles for themselves. At times owners are so thankful that they will offer you a night or two free of charge or at a highly reduced price in their luxurious lodgings. Not bad for a few hours of your time.
If you enjoy travel, why not receives a commission to do it? This particular prospect does not have any negative side.
