Online Home based travel agency

Starting a home-based travel agency can be an exciting prospect, especially if you have a passion for travel. However, there is a lot of work involved in setting up a successful business. You will need to familiarize yourself with the travel industry, get certified and registered with the proper associations and understand the legal aspects of running a business.

First, decide what type of travel agency you want to be. Are you an independent agent, affiliated with an existing chain or franchise? Are you going to specialize in a specific type of travel such as cruises, tours, adventure travel or corporate travel? Decide which direction your business will go in and make sure it’s something you’re passionate about.
