Thank you for for sharing so much relevant information with those of us starting or thinking about starting hosted trips! Keep up the good work!! The trip sounds wonderful; I hope I can make it.
For cruises, depends on the host agency. I do not get paid until after cloents sail.
Thanks for making these videos, I'm enjoying them and learning a lot 👍🏼. I do have a question, can a U.S. travel advisor create bookings for clients in other countries?
1300$ a week I work 10 hours I got a master degree in travel agent
Yes you’re right it’s MLM (market level marketing)
What certifications do you need to have an independent agency? Did you get certs from the Travel Institute? Etc
Were you able to transfer your certifications from your host agency into your independent agency?
Should a new travel agent go independently or mlm?
I love your videos so much 🥹 question: if I register with a host agency will I be licensed and insured right then? Or do you have to take trainings first
I’m glad the videos have been helpful! You would be licensed right then. The host agency typically has an insurance policy but it’s always best to get your own too to make sure you are covered in the event their policy has already paid out the max for other agents.
What ageny can I join to become an agent because I'm planning a group trip to Africa 2025
I would research the different ones and call to talk to them to compare the different options. I wouldn’t tell you which one to join that is something you would decide based on what’s a good fit for you. You can check out reviews by visiting hostagencyreviews.com
How much did it cost you to license and become independent?
Hey I started with my true accreditation first which was $400 or $500 something like that, then you have to account for sellers of travel permits in the required states, errors and omissions insurance etc. I may make a video on this as well.
