Job Description

Benefits:

Travel Perks

Travel Discounts

Flexible schedule

Are you curious about the possibilities within the travel industry? Want to discover the perks of working in travel and how it can be a great side hustle?

This opportunity is great for the following individuals:

Those who love to travel and want to take advantage of excellent travel agent discounts and perks.

Those looking for a side hustle. This includes individuals with an existing job, a partner with a job, or retirees. This is someone with financial stability seeking some additional spending money.

This is not an W2 employment. This is an opportunity to start your own business. This is a commission-based, independent contractor (1099) role without a base salary or hourly pay. This is best suited for those seeking the perks or those seeking a side hustle with an entrepreneurial mindset, enthusiastic about building a business from the ground up and finding customers who will love the service you provide.

Did you know that most travel has commission already built into the price? This includes hotels, cruises, all-inclusive resorts, car rentals, tours/activities, and even event tickets. The only exception is airfare. When you buy your travel through online travel agents (e.g. Expedia) or a cruise line or hotel directly, you are paying the “commission loaded” price. Why let Expedia take that commission? Why let the cruise line or the hotel make more profit? If you are a travel agent, you get that commission either as a “travel agent discount” or as a commission, which is basically the same as getting a rebate. This applies to travel you book for others too. If it’s a friend or family member, you can pass the discount along or split or keep it all. If it’s a stranger, (i.e., customer), that’s profit. You get a discount or profit depending on who you are booking travel for, and you don’t need to charge them any more than they would pay anyway.

Here are some of the benefits of starting your own travel business

You can earn perks from vendors just by completing their free training

You have access to discounted travel agent rates and upgrades

You have the ability to deduct expenses related to your business (consult your tax advisor)

This is a remote position.
