From 2019-2025, 67 new ships will join the seas from Japan.

In today’s economic climate, you have three options for becoming a home-based travel agent: start your own company, join a hosting agency or invest in a franchise. Each has its advantages and drawbacks.

If you choose to open an independent travel agency, you will be held accountable for creating and maintaining your website, marketing it, advertising it and managing the booking system. Furthermore, managing insurance costs must also be managed. Lastly, generating leads and overseeing overall business operations are your responsibilities.

Franchising offers home-based travel agents another route to success. Franchises require an initial investment, on top of other expenses, but they provide brand recognition, lead generation programs and proven systems for processing payments and bookings. It’s your decision who you anchor your company too – whether it succeeds or fails depending on who you choose! Speak to representatives from any travel franchises you’re considering joining; learn how commissions are paid out and what perks customers can enjoy by joining a larger chain.

Are you considering starting a home-based business but uncertain? There are several ways to get started before making any commitments. Christy Scannell had experience as an editor and writer before joining Dreams Vacations; having another source of income is essential when starting any travel agency. At eight years old, she has traveled the world planning amazing vacations for hundreds of clients.

“I am proud of how far my business has grown, but it wasn’t without a lot of hard work,” she noted. “Not everyone can put in that level of effort so their income won’t be as high – but they can still reach their financial objectives and lead a fulfilling lifestyle if they choose this franchise!”
