Travel Agent Opportunity
WORK WITH US
IS A TRAVEL BUSINESS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Some people get into the travel business for the wrong reasons, and that is why their business doesn’t do well. You cannot enter the travel industry thinking you will make a quick buck. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. It takes dedication and hard work! However, if you want to become an agent, and have a passion for travel, and a genuine love for people, it’s the most rewarding home-based business opportunity out there. there is plenty of money to be made. It’s interesting and fun—and it helps people. They don’t call it the hospitality business for nothing. Your job alone is to make people happy, even travel while doing it. Work doesn’t get any better than that.
INFO
As a home based travel agent you will provide the same services as in-office agents. You will help your clients research, plan, and book trips and vacations. Home based agents get to set their own schedule and often travel using various discounts. They also get potential tax benefits from operating a home-based business and ultimately save on commuting costs.
Sure. People certainly can book their own travel but whether or not they should is a whole different question. But now, more than ever, in the current climate, travel agents are being sought after because travelers realize how overwhelming it can be; especially when things such as a pandemic occur.
Characteristics of a good travel agent:
- Knowledgeable
- Dependable
- Professionalism
- Enthusiastic
- People Skills
- Integrity
- Resourcefulness
- Empathy
If you have those things, these are the characteristics that separate the outstanding travel agents from the good ones!

What does it mean to be hosted by Art N Soul Escapes?
With us, we've been in your shoes. So, we understand that it can be overwhelming learning this business on your own. Your success is our success. So we are in this together. Our agents are from all over North America.

We will teach you how to find your own clients but also provide some referrals too.
We are registered with all the major tour and cruise companies (Disney, Sandals/Beaches, Southwest Vacations, United Vacations, American Airlines Vacations, Funjet, Apple, Vacation Express, RCCL, Celebrity, Carnival, Princess, Holland, NCL, and many more). We are a member of the Ensemble consortium and use Travel eSolutions (TESS) as our CRM (mandatory at our agents' expense).
What Is My Investment?
- Initial Registration Fee starting at $299/yr which can be broken up into 3 equal payments over the course of the 90-day training
- Renewal fees starting at $249/yr
- $25/mo CRM fee (paid directly to vendor) and includes access to Ensemble Consortium at no additional cost
Remember, this IS an investment....in you. You are starting your own business. Start-ups cost money. If they were free, more people would ahve them, don't you agree? And in most cases, as a business owner, you will be able to write-off many of your expenses.
