As a Travel Agent you earn a commission from partner brands on each trip you sell. If you are already using popular travel booking sites, then you are doing all your own research for your holiday and then paying these companies a commission for all the work you have put into looking for your holiday. By using your own travel agency and becoming an Independent Travel Agent (ITA) you can book those exact same holidays but you get to earn the commission rather than giving it away!
The low, affordable start-up cost of obtaining your own travel agency and business is an amazing opportunity to create an incredible income.
When you sign up to become an ITA you join our host agency, who are an established company of over 30 years’ experience and have a growing network of ITA’s across the UK, USA, Caribbean and Ireland and will be growing their network further in other countries this year, including Germany and Canada.
We work with over 80 suppliers, or as we call them, preferred partners, that are household names and we can access their systems with direct logins and book anything from:
· All-package holidays
· Cruises,
· Ski holidays,
· Hotels, lodges and villas
· Flights,
· Activities including amusement park tickets and theatre tickets
· Airport lounges and airport parking
· Car rental
· Transfers
· Tours
· Lapland
· And so much more that is travel related
Our preferred partner directory is continually growing with new partnerships being made, to allow us even more access and variety for our business. We also have affiliations with major hotel brands.
You can book as much or as little travel for yourself, your family, friends and your network as you like. There is no minimum or maximum that you need to book.
We work with over 80 preferred partners some of which are household names and we can access their systems to book anything from package holidays, activities, hotels, flights and so much more.
You do not need any previous travel experience.
You are probably already using some popular booking sites to book your own travel, that is effectively all you are doing with your own travel agent credentials, but instead of giving commission away to those popular booking engine companies you will now be able to earn that commission yourself!
You will be given training with all of our suppliers as well as continuous in-house company training.
All training is all online, and it is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can be done on your terms and around your current work and family commitments. There is no time restriction on when training should be completed and you can train as little or as much as you want.
We have regular team Q&A drop-in sessions, should you ever want to attend, and also the opportunity to access 1-2-1 training sessions with some of our experienced agents if you ever require it. You will be added to our team WhatsApp chats where agents share their knowledge as well as hints and tips. You can participate as much or as little as you want. You will always be supported.
Through the online training you can also specialise in your preferred areas of interest.

Full training is provided in order for you to operate your business with your own Travel Agent licence. In addition to the sales and booking side of the travel business, there is the marketing affiliate side where you can elevate your business to earn an unlimited and uncapped income by sharing the business opportunity and be rewarded with the marketing compensation plan.
Not at all! You do not have to post it on social media if you do not want to.
You can decide how you want to market yourself, whether this is via social media or your own website or through word of mouth and your current network. Many people begin building their businesses through word of mouth before branching out to new platforms. Whichever way you want to start building your business is entirely up to you. There are also hints and tips and lots of training provided in this area.
When you join you are given your own Travel Agent credentials, which give you global recognition in the travel industry and allow you to make bookings on all the booking systems. You are also given your own marketing link to share the opportunity with others to grow your own organisation.
You are provided with full training that you complete in your own time. There is mandatory training that has to be completed to allow you to start booking, (this can be completed at your own pace) as well as continuous training and tools to allow you to expand your knowledge and skills with particular brands and companies. You can also specialise in certain areas, such as becoming a cruise expert, luxury holidays or an expert in hotel brands.
You will be given access to exclusive groups, dedicated WhatsApp support groups, marketing tools and support from our experienced team. You also have access to our global supplier training and webinars as well as a travel training vault. There is an abundance of free training from the host company, suppliers and from experienced agents.
You can start booking as soon as you have completed the mandatory training. This can be done at your own pace and in your own time. There are a series of videos to watch and a short test to complete. There are also a series of guides to assist you that are available to refer back to.
After these steps are completed you will be qualified to book travel. There are also new starter calls every week to give you more information as to the next steps so you are continually supported.
We have a library of online training that can be accessed 24/7 if you want to top up your knowledge on a particular supplier and access to private Facebook groups.
The marketing side is actually seven different ways to support yourself. It's about embracing the idea of earning through collaboration and ongoing gains, what we call residual income. It's where your efforts keep bringing you compensation in the long run. With travel commissions, it's a one-time reward for a one-time effort. You book a trip, you get paid once. But when it comes to residual income, you keep receiving appreciation for the hard work you poured in right from the start. It's a continuous flow and the fantastic and fulfilling compensation plan is so powerful that has enabled so many to earn six figure incomes through commitment to their own businesses. If you are familiar with affiliate and network marketing you will know the income potential is uncapped and unlimited and this is now the biggest industry to be a part of. Affiliate and network marketing is the way all major businesses now operate, online. Amazon, Nike, Gousto and Hello Fresh are just a fraction of the examples we see daily using affiliate marketing. Sharing a link to a product you use and like is now a part of daily life. Travel is no different to this and becoming a travel business owner means you can also benefit from earning additional income through sharing your product. This is not sales based therefore there are no sales targets to meet. Further information on the affiliate compensation plan can be found here.
The cost is a one off payment of £156 allowing you to become an Independent Travel Agent, sell travel services and share the travel business opportunity with others with your affiliate link. (What your travel business will cost) You can book travel and earn commissions on every booking you make. This one-off investment enables you to own your own travel business, gives you global recognition as a travel agent, and allows you to contact any accommodation provider. There is also the opportunity to benefit from the marketing side of the business, where you can earn an additional streams of income by sharing your affiliate link with others. For further information on the marketing side and the rewards for affiliates, please see the link, 'Affiliate Compensation Plan'.
From month 2 your recurring monthly running costs for your business are £46 (approximately £1.50 day!) This monthly cost is split across the sales and marketing sides of the business. £32 of this is for your travel business to be able to use all the systems, logins and commission payments and £14 (the marketing side operates in $ therefore $19.95, based on current conversion rate and translates to approximately £14 a month) for your affiliate link. This £46 monthly payment keeps your account active and covers all admin, support, insurance and access to back office systems and supplier systems access. All training is included and there are no hidden costs.
You are not committed to any contract therefore if you decide it is not for you then can cancel at any time.
These were my exact thoughts before I signed up! I don’t know of any other opportunity that allows me to have my own travel business for an investment of just £156, after researching I discovered lot of companies ask for thousands of pounds to start a new business and the IATA number alone is worth ££££'s. In addition to this I was really impressed with the marketing compensation plan, aside from earning from the travel sales and bookings, you can also earn a residual income from the marketing aspect with a pledge from the marketing company that commit to safeguarding your income, once you have reached a directorship milestone, should anything happen to you. So you can feel secure in knowing that in the event of your death the individuals you've nominated in your pledge will continue to reap the benefits of your residual income and bonuses indefinitely.
