If you’re new to the travel industry, don’t fret!
Over the years, travel has grown, and so has the need for professionals who can improve clients’ experience with travel. Travelers would rather spend more time relaxing at their vacation spot than rifling through page after page of air ticket websites and hotel listings.
But clients are more likely to come to agents with experience.
There isn’t some difficult formula to becoming a successful independent travel agent. Making a name as a reputable travel agent all boils down to a travel agent’s choice of host travel agency, dedication to learn, and ability to adapt to new situations.
One very important thing to remember when becoming a travel agent is that the travel industry is always changing. Yesterday’s regulations on air travel, for instance, can be updated within days. Staying on top of travel industry updates is a necessary skill that a successful travel agent must possess.
Another skill required of all travel agents is knowledge of travel lingo.
Knowing the difference between a nonstop flight and a direct flight can make or break a client’s trip plans. On the other hand, knowing what base fare is can determine if you earn $500 in commissions or $500 - taxes and charges. Travel agents are expected to know travel-specific terms so that their clients don’t have to.
To give a client the best travel experience, a travel agent must constantly build up their ability to book travel, keep up with regulations, updates, and adapt to unique client situations.
All in all, knowledge comes with experience.
