Thanks for such an open and honest evaluation. Love your videos and I watch daily. Take care and all the best.
Thanks for sharing Don. Loved hearing your story!
I love cruising and I really want to get in travel and since I have customer service skills this would be a great job for me! You are always so informative and encouraging! Thanks...
I started with a travel industry school in the late 70's after newly married.
I loved it, got straight A's through out...but at the end found having a toddler and a new baby I just couldn't keep up school... when I was in high school my dream was to be a flight attendant' " stewardess back then', Now I'm 60+ and children grown, enjoying 3 wonderful grandchildren is my life ...
I enjoy watching your channel very much Don.. Thanks for the entertaining videos. 😊
I know what you mean ..im a helper personality myself .....very satisfying
Thanks for pulling back the curtain on running a Home Travel agency. Very interesting. Perks, too.
Continued prayers for your health. God bless you and know that you are appreciated.
Hello Don, thank you as always for your detailed and honest videos. I would like to learn more information on becoming a travel agent. How would someone who is interest in being a travel agent get started? Do you need to take courses, pass an exam, etc. I would love to do this part time while being a school teacher. Your video sparked interest. Hope your vacation is going great!
I love being a travel agent he’s right it does take time but if you’re going to travel anyways might as well get payed for it💪🏻✈️🚢🤑it’s only $49 to start! Fam trips are great good video Don I love getting pics from my clients!🥰 I became a TA because I love to travel and life is short makes me happy to help ppl celebrate their life
Very informative truly appreciated.
Thanks for sharing! I have a question, what are the requirements/certifications to becoming a travel agent?
It's all about PERKS!
I was going to be a travel agent, even did a full time course, but I found it’s a bit hard and technology was hard to learn, especially when I was booking flights and I had to do a few role-plays. But that said I may try to work with a travel agent they only does cruise bookings.
I'll go on my cruise with TWO broken legs.
I might get in to that in about 15 years when im close to retirement, sounds like a decent gig for retirees just to make a little extra
HI Don, great information. New to this and trying to decide if it is better if I start off with a host agency or keep pressing forward individually and get my certs in CTC, CTIE, CLIA, etc? Any advise?
Tonya White I’m a travel agent and I find it better to start off getting a host agency if you’re still interested let me know 🥰
@@Jj_86 hi Hi, I would like some info.
How is the best way to become a travel agent? Love your videos, keeping you in our prayers.
Charles Hargett I started online and I love it! Only 49$ to start and that includes all the training
Hi Don... Good job..👍👍👍👍✌
Thanks for this Don. What do you think of Am Express Cruise Planners (i think) a Franchise you buy and they train you to be a Cruise Planner? OR...anything similar to this?
Great input!
I would love to make folks dreams come true. I love to plan vacations.
I was a TA for 15 years and a Sales Rep for a Tour Wholesaler For 15 years before that and those trips you mention were 99% taken by the Agency owners or manager. The Agents rarely got anything except commission off their cruise. It is also a very poorly paid industry, especially for what you have to know.
Don the nice thing about you that you care.
How many nights did you get to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel in Rivera Maya on your Fam Trip? Im also a home based agent and am just now looking into Fam Trips and perks like this. Im a huge Hard Rock Fan so this would be of great interest to me.
Just a question, what does a travel agent do? I know make travel arrangements but I guess I just thought with the internet people didn’t need them anymore. Is there something you can book that the average person couldn’t? I’m sorry if this is a dumb question.
Don can you share the start up procedure of your business? Who did you contact and connect with? If possible...I would be thrilled to find out facts and even pay you for the service of information. Thank you!
Me too! I’m retired and want to become a TA just for the discounted travel. I have no idea where to begin.
Are you certified? Are you hosted by a travel agency? I’d really like to become a TA. Where do instant?
How can I become an agent
I arrange all my travel details myself - So I am a travel agent now! - Just kidding! :)
What are the steps to becoming a travel agent
How did you make your background?
But wat host is the best
How do you become a travel agent?
Is there a course that you need to take to be a Travel Agent?
yes, you need to get licensed through the state or province and then join an agency where you will need to pay monthly and yearly fees.
What travel agency you work for?
Crystal Johnson if I'll no mistaking I think he own his own agent.
he did mention he works for an agency
So if I was to become a travel agent how would I began
you first have to decide if you want to be an at home agent or one that works in a travel agency office. for at home I would google hosting agency and see which ones seem the best for you. there will be a test you need to study for and if you join a host agency there will be fees and lots of training online. if you want to work in an office then you would have to take a course at a college and then apply. Just remember it's very hard to make any money when you start, and you don't get paid until the travel you booked takes place and lots of people book 18 months in advance so you might sell $1000 in sales but have to wait over a year for that money until you have built up clients.
Don's Family Vacations oh neat I will look into thanks don and only 120 days till my first cruise 😀😁
There was a "before there was an internet?!" ..kidding
