@@Hostagencyreviews yes I am new to the industry any suggestions ❤️❤️❤️

@@shunwilliams6180 A few great places I'd recommend to start! 1) ASTA's (American Society of Travel Advisors) Roadmap to becoming a travel advisor course: Written by the HAR team and great if you're exploring a career but aren't entirely sure it's a good fit yet. har.news/roadmap 2) HAR's 7 Day Setup Accelerator program: Fabulous course by HAR team to walk you through getting your agency setup and ready to start booking. hostagencyreviews.com/7DS-accelerator 3) HAR's article on becoming a travel agent: A great place to start with lots of links to other articles on the site to help you better understand the travel industry and what's involved with becoming a TA. hostagencyreviews.com/blog/how-to-become-a-travel-agent Hope that helps!

So glad you could tune in @YolandaCrowley! Thanks for joining us! --Steph

Oh that sounds PERFECT @lesliewhite-xj1ef!!! What a treat of a weather day! And kudos to you for joining us when the weather outside beckons you elsewhere. :) ---Steph

Oh I'm so sorry for the delay in responding @Dianab.2393! This was a rerun and ASTA changed up their program where they lowered the price and included a new IC membership... but that means they took away the promo code. 😭😭 So they price is now $199 (vs. $149 with the promo code) but it include a year long ASTA membership. ---Steph

So glad you liked it @elizabethBsocal!

Good questions! No, we're just a resource hub, not an accrediting agency. But you can check out info on accreditation here: hostagencyreviews.com/blog/travel-agency-accreditation ~Mary, HAR Editor

@@Hostagencyreviews Thank you for your help How can I get consultation call with you please?

Oh thanks for mentioning that @Bbluxtravel. Non-competes are now illegal for employees, but they're still legal for independent contractors.

YEAH!!! That's what we love to hear @Destinyexplorer1!!! Thank you for taking the report. We really appreciate it! :) --Steph

Ha! Thanks for sharing @TheresaWeyandt. It's funny because sometimes I meet up with the co-host beforehand and we totally read the questions differently so thanks for answering the other way for us!

@TrevonGray That's great to hear. They do a lot of social engineering to make you doubt yourself but I'm glad you followed your gut and did more research so you could make an educated decision.

@@Hostagencyreviews indeed I'm grateful for people that try to help facilitate the truth.

You do need to download them. Just extract the zipped files. When you open the zipped file you should see an option that says "Extract all." Click that and you will be able to upload the files separately.

Yay! So happy to hear it @Vanessae19! Thank you for tuning in and dropping us a comment! :)

Hey Isabelle! You're in luck because right now agencies are really struggling to hire and there are a lot of open positions! Are you looking to stay in corporate or to go into leisure? Check out our Jobs Board too: hostagencyreviews.com/travel-jobs/ ----Steph
