If you love travel and you love helping people, becoming a travel agent might be the perfect fit for you.

But if you're like most people I work with, you're probably wondering...
“Do I need a degree for this?”
“Do I have to go back to school?”
“Is it too late to start?”

The short answer? No, no, and definitely not.

You don’t need a travel degree.
You don’t need years of training.
You just need the right steps and the right support.

Here’s what that actually looks like: 

1. You Need Access, Not a College Degree

To book travel professionally, you need access to the tools that travel agents use: supplier systems, commission tracking, client management platforms, and more.

This access usually comes through something called a host agency, an umbrella organization that supports independent travel advisors. When you sign up with a host agency, you get the booking tools, supplier relationships, and resources you need to serve clients with confidence.

The best part? You can partner with a host and start your business without spending thousands of dollars or years in school. You just need to know how to choose the right host, and that’s something I walk you through in my course.

2. You Need to Learn How the Travel Industry Works

Most new agents feel overwhelmed at first. I’ve been there.

They hear terms like:

• “IATA” and “CLIA”
  
• “Supplier” vs. “Wholesaler”
  
• “Commission tiers” and “NCFs”
  

...and wonder, What am I missing?

But here’s the truth: none of this is complicated once someone shows you how it fits together.

Inside Travel Genius Coaching, I walk you through how agents get paid, how to find and work with trusted suppliers, and how to structure your business from the start. It’s all inside the course,  and it’s designed to help you feel empowered, not overwhelmed.

3. You Need a Clear Plan and Someone in Your Corner

You don’t have to guess your way through this. And you definitely don’t have to piece everything together from Google searches and Facebook groups.

A step-by-step plan removes the stress and helps you move forward with clarity.

Inside Travel Genius Coaching, I guide you from your very first decision (like choosing a host agency and setting up your business) through to confidently marketing your services, finding clients, and booking trips like a pro.

You’ll have access to:

• Video lessons that walk you through each step
  
• Templates and tools that save you time
  
• Checklists that keep you focused
  
• Encouragement every step of the way
   

You’re Closer Than You Think

If something inside you is saying, “I think I want to do this,” you’re not imagining it.

You don’t need to be perfect.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to take the first step and surround yourself with the right support.
