How to Work From Home as a Travel Agent
You do not need to invest heavily in setting up a travel agency for yourself; instead, you can simply work from home as a travel agent. This job is great for people who love travelling and have extensive knowledge of travel itineraries and of global events across the world. However, you need to make sure the company you are applying to has been registered with the likes of Airlines Reporting Corporation or the International Airlines Travel Agency Network. Once you get one of these two network’s personnel list, you can start your own business.
