Trump International Golf Links Doonbeg, Ireland Take our free travel agent training. Are you thinking about becoming a travel agent in Kansas? We have you covered. We will provide your licensing, walk you through paperwork, provide in-depth training and mentorship, and it's all free to you. We don't make money until you do, and our commission split starts at a competitive 80%/20% (you keep 80%). Joining a Host Agency Will Simplify the Process When you join a host agency, a lot of the licensing and regulatory headaches disappear. Your host agency will provide an IATA number (which allows you to make commissionable bookings), handle your licensing, and (should) let you know if you need to file any paperwork. Your host agency's licensing will cover you unless you accept money directly from clients into your business entity or bank account. Make sure your host travel agency has a seller of travel licenses in key states. Florida, Washington State, Hawaii, and California require seller of travel licenses to sell to their residents. We have all needed licenses to sell travel to residents in the United States and our agents can sell all destinations not listed on the OFAC list . This article assumes you will be joining a host agency versus trying to open your own. There are various benefits to joining a host agency, i.e., access to a consortia, travel agent tools, mentorship, lower start-up costs, and so much more. Check out our guide to selecting the best host agency. We may or may not be the right match (though we probably are). Join Our Host Agency Where is this? Villa Sant'Andrea, a Belmond hotel, Taormina, Sicily Where is this? Casa de Sierra Nevada, a Belmond Hotel, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico Travel Agent Fees Complicate the Process If you want to charge your clients a fee, things become complicated. You will technically need your own Seller of Travel License if collecting fees into your business entity from Florida, California, Hawaii or Washington state residents (some additional states have other regulations regarding these transactions), and that gets expensive fast. Accepting direct payments from clients for travel may require compliance with additional business, tax, and licensing regulations imposed by city, county, and/or state authorities. Be sure to review and adhere to these requirements if payments are processed through your personal or business accounts. Fees don't just complicate your credentials; they also complicate your relationships with clients. This is something we discuss in our free travel agent training. Many travel agencies strongly recommend charging a fee. We do not. Our agents are banned from charging fees but earn more thanks to our efficient tools and comprehensive training. Earn More Don't Accidentally Become a Tour Operator Something else new agents may not consider is tour operator regulations. Being a tour operator requires additional credentials. You can "accidentally" become a tour operator when you try to put together a packaged trip. For example, you may want to put together a wine package for $10,000. You charge people for "tickets" that include hotels, tours, and car services. If you accept this money directly (not through your host agency) and then pay out each supplier, you will need to become a legal tour operator and carry the risk. This is usually a not-so-profitable and high-risk endeavor. There are much easier ways for a travel agent to land large payouts. We discuss this in detail in our travel agent training. Get Guidance Where is this? Maroma, a Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya, Mexico Where is this? Aman Venice, Italy How Licensing Works for Our Agents We hold all of the sellers of travel licenses needed in the United States. Our agents do not accept payments from their clients to their business entities. All of their transactions run through us (the host agency). We are based in Florida, Therefore, our agents only need to file an Independent Agent Affidavit/Statement of Exemption and pay a fee of $51.50 to the State of Florida each year. This may sound intimidating, but it's not. We cover this step by step in our new agent orientation. After that, our agents are fully credentialed and ready to legally earn commissions under our IATA. Join Our Agency Educational Requirements and Certifications There is no educational requirement to become a travel agent in Kansas. However, host agencies will typically have required training or steps to access their credentials and IATA. For example, at our host travel agency, LuxRally Travel, we do background checks and require our agents to graduate from our training. We have standards, so our training is quite challenging. We want our agents to be top earners and train them from top to bottom. Start Learning Where is this? Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti, Tanzania Where is this? Shangri La Paris, France What Comes After Becoming a Travel Agent in Kansas? Becoming a licensed travel agent in Kansas is pretty easy. You could probably find a host agency that would give you access to their credentials and IATA in days. However, what happens after that? You need to know how to use booking tools, get clients, close deals, work with hospitality professionals, handle travel agent accounting, etc. We cover all of this in detail during our training, provide comprehensive mentorship, and have a community of thriving agents who are constantly helping each other out. Also, we have the most advanced booking tool for travel agents (FastBook), meaning you only need to learn a few systems to start making bookings. FastBook pulls hundreds of rates for a single hotel in 30 seconds, and our CRM has tools that automate administrative tasks, i.e., invoicing, sending client profiles to hotels, and more. No other travel agency comes close to our tech. We programmed our systems ourselves versus outsourcing the design and coding to people who do not intimately understand the needs of a travel agent. Thrive as an Agent Our Free Travel Agent Training Program We don't make money until you do, and that builds our culture in the right direction. Our free training covers everything you need to know. You'll learn about brands, destinations, sales, working with hospitality professionals, group contract negotiations, general negotiations (i.e., what you can ask for if a client wants a large suite), how to use our booking tools, and so much more. Upon graduation, you'll have a comprehensive marketing course to bring you through your first thirty days, plus access to our weekly events, meetings, one-on-one sessions, forums, chats, and other continued education opportunities.

Casa de Sierra Nevada, a Belmond Hotel, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico Travel Agent Fees Complicate the Process If you want to charge your clients a fee, things become complicated. You will technically need your own Seller of Travel License if collecting fees into your business entity from Florida, California, Hawaii or Washington state residents (some additional states have other regulations regarding these transactions), and that gets expensive fast. Accepting direct payments from clients for travel may require compliance with additional business, tax, and licensing regulations imposed by city, county, and/or state authorities. Be sure to review and adhere to these requirements if payments are processed through your personal or business accounts. Fees don't just complicate your credentials; they also complicate your relationships with clients. This is something we discuss in our free travel agent training. Many travel agencies strongly recommend charging a fee. We do not. Our agents are banned from charging fees but earn more thanks to our efficient tools and comprehensive training. Earn More Don't Accidentally Become a Tour Operator Something else new agents may not consider is tour operator regulations. Being a tour operator requires additional credentials. You can "accidentally" become a tour operator when you try to put together a packaged trip. For example, you may want to put together a wine package for $10,000. You charge people for "tickets" that include hotels, tours, and car services. If you accept this money directly (not through your host agency) and then pay out each supplier, you will need to become a legal tour operator and carry the risk. This is usually a not-so-profitable and high-risk endeavor. There are much easier ways for a travel agent to land large payouts. We discuss this in detail in our travel agent training. Get Guidance Where is this? Maroma, a Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya, Mexico Where is this? Aman Venice, Italy How Licensing Works for Our Agents We hold all of the sellers of travel licenses needed in the United States. Our agents do not accept payments from their clients to their business entities. All of their transactions run through us (the host agency). We are based in Florida, Therefore, our agents only need to file an Independent Agent Affidavit/Statement of Exemption and pay a fee of $51.50 to the State of Florida each year. This may sound intimidating, but it's not. We cover this step by step in our new agent orientation. After that, our agents are fully credentialed and ready to legally earn commissions under our IATA. Join Our Agency Educational Requirements and Certifications There is no educational requirement to become a travel agent in Idaho. However, host agencies will typically have required training or steps to access their credentials and IATA. For example, at our host travel agency, LuxRally Travel, we do background checks and require our agents to graduate from our training. We have standards, so our training is quite challenging. We want our agents to be top earners and train them from top to bottom. Start Learning Where is this? Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti, Tanzania Where is this? Shangri La Paris, France What Comes After Becoming a Travel Agent in Idaho? Becoming a licensed travel agent in Idaho is pretty easy. You could probably find a host agency that would give you access to their credentials and IATA in days. However, what happens after that? You need to know how to use booking tools, get clients, close deals, work with hospitality professionals, handle travel agent accounting, etc. We cover all of this in detail during our training, provide comprehensive mentorship, and have a community of thriving agents who are constantly helping each other out. Also, we have the most advanced booking tool for travel agents (FastBook), meaning you only need to learn a few systems to start making bookings. FastBook pulls hundreds of rates for a single hotel in 30 seconds, and our CRM has tools that automate administrative tasks, i.e., invoicing, sending client profiles to hotels, and more. No other travel agency comes close to our tech. We programmed our systems ourselves versus outsourcing the design and coding to people who do not intimately understand the needs of a travel agent. Thrive as an Agent Our Free Travel Agent Training Program We don't make money until you do, and that builds our culture in the right direction. Our free training covers everything you need to know. You'll learn about brands, destinations, sales, working with hospitality professionals, group contract negotiations, general negotiations (i.e., what you can ask for if a client wants a large suite), how to use our booking tools, and so much more. Upon graduation, you'll have a comprehensive marketing course to bring you through your first thirty days, plus access to our weekly events, meetings, one-on-one sessions, forums, chats, and other continued education opportunities.

However, if we are the credit card merchant, our role is to facilitate the sale, collect funds on your behalf, and remit those funds to the Suppliers. If the Suppliers do not provide the services, your only recourse would be against the Suppliers, and you agree not to initiate a chargeback against us.

Free travel is often advertised as a perk for becoming a travel agent. Yes, you can travel for free as an agent, but it is important to know how to take free trips and when it's appropriate.

Caruso, a Bemond Hotel, Amalfi Coast, Italy Fam Trips and Site Visits Fam trips, short for familiarization trips, are trips where groups of travel agents, often from multiple agencies, visit a ship or hotel to familiarize themselves with its offerings. Off the bat, this might sound like a great way to gain industry knowledge but be careful not to become associated with the wrong type of agents. There is a subculture of agents who go from fam trip to fam trip, abusing their usage and not generating any revenue for the properties that host them. Sales managers take notice of the agents who abuse this system and generally do not take them seriously. As an agent, you want good relationships with sales managers; they are the people at a hotel that can get the most done for your clients. If you sour the relationship with a sales manager, it can diminish your leverage in the industry. The hospitality space is small, industry professionals talk, and fam trips can damage your reputation. So proceed with caution. Not all fam trips are bad, though; inaugural cruises and first looks at new hotels are entirely legitimate reasons to participate in a fam trip. Site visits are a different way to learn about a property, and we encourage our agents to do site visits when possible. During a site visit, you meet one-on-one with the sales manager and sometimes other key hotel staff, i.e., the revenue manager or group sales manager. You typically tour the property, grab lunch, and discuss revenue-centric strategies. This usually does not include a free stay. Site visits are far more respected than fam trips, plus it gives you the opportunity to build a real relationship with the hotel's sales manager. Ready to join our team? Our agency might just change your life. We will give you a new skill, new community and new way to earn serious income. Go ahead and apply and know within 48 hours whether you've made the cut. Remember, no travel agent experience required. Apply Now Where is this? Cap Juluca, a Belmond Hotel, Anguilla. Comped Stays A comped stay is when a hotel gives you a stay for free. Unlike fam trips, these are not with groups of agents. Comped stays are the way you can tastefully travel for free. Comped stays are easy to get with cruise lines off of the bat. Cruise lines typically have a list of perishables (cabins they don't expect to fill) available to agents. Hotels will comp or dramatically discount stays once you start sending them volume and/or building a reputation for having desirable clients. If you have a reputation for high-spend clients, new hotels may invite you for a comped stay, even if you haven't sold them yet. They know that what you tell your clients has a major impact, so they want you to learn about their property. It's like being a very discreet, word-of-mouth influencer. Comped stays are better than fam trips because your stay is more intimate. Instead of being herded around with a group of agents, you can focus on the parts of a property that will matter most to your clients. Because your time on the property will lead to revenue for the hotel, a sales manager will be happy to entertain you. You can request comped stays; just make sure to use good judgment. Asking for a comped stay from Four Seasons when you barely sell their brand may cause you to look inexperienced. You also need to be mindful of the hotel's occupancy. It is much easier to get a comped stay in the off-season when the hotel has more empty rooms to spare. Lastly, nothing is ever truly free. Making too many demands from a hotel can compromise your position. You don't want a hotel to have an unspoken expectation from you that could affect your clients. Where is this? Amandari, Bali, Indonesia Where is this? La Residencia, a Belmond Hotel, Mallorca, Spain Tastefully Travel for Free Being aware of these types of free trip and site visit opportunities will allow you to navigate the landscape of free travel as an agent. We know that many people in our industry promote fam trips, for example, as an entitlement. However, after many discussions with sales managers, general managers, and even global sales managers, we can assure you that it is wise to be aware of the optics. We have been in meetings with sales managers at properties over lunch and had tables of drunken agents next to us. The sales managers will generally roll their eyes and say, "You know, not a single one of these agents has tried to have a meaningful conversation with me. You guys are so refreshing." You want people in our industry to view you as refreshing, too. You can certainly jump on every fam trip available to you off the bat, but know it can damage how professionals view you, and you will likely be stuck at all-inclusive resorts for the rest of your life. If you want a more elevated lifestyle, you will need to elevate your perspective and make intelligent business decisions. Being a travel agent is a professional career, not a travel hack for free trips. If you want honest insights into this industry and expert guidance on how to handle all of the many opportunities and relationships within the travel sector, join our agency. We will not pretend you will be traveling for free every day and barely lifting a finger. This type of lifestyle is only tastefully available to you after years of mastering this industry and building the right book of business. We will show you how to achieve this. If you are willing to put in the work, we will train you and provide the tools you need for free. Free travel agent travel, comps, site visits, and fam trips explained. Last Updated: 01/17/2025
