Home Based Travel Professional

Imagine Having the Certificate with Your Name 😃

About the Profession

Self-employment is the fastest growing career choice in the travel industry.

Imagine creating a rewarding, and profitable home based travel business, with your passion for travelling, love of working with people, and your travel industry training from Travel College Canada.

Those working in the travel industry from home, may be referred to as a Home Based-Travel Professional, or Travel Agent, or Independent Travel Adviser. The choice of title is yours.

Benefits of Working as a Home Based Travel Professional

We have worked with hundreds of Home Based Travel Professionals who have shared with us what they love most about being self employed, this includes:

  • Being their own boss (hope you’re a good one!!)
  • Choosing their own hours (especially those juggling family and other commitments)
  • Opportunity to TRAVEL and visit destinations around the world which makes marketing & selling easier
  • More control over income as this is based on sales. “The more you sell, the more you make” 😃
  • Becoming as a Travel Specialist in particular area of travel or destination, selected country(s) or regions, etc. aligned with interests, and hobbies; this include specializing in a niche market e.g. destination weddings, adventure travel, wellness, spas, and yoga retreats
  • Specialize in selling cruises to places around the world

Q & A:

Q: “I have gone through the Travel College Canada website, and noticed there are diploma and certificate programs. I am not sure which would be the best for me to take. I am planning to work from home, selling travel?”

A: There are two good distance education (home study) programs to consider:

1. International Tourism Management – This is a comprehensive Diploma Program, ideal for the individual with no previous training or work experience in the travel industry.

Program Content includes a blending of Travel and Tourism, and Business Management courses. This ensures the necessary knowledge, and skills are learnt on which to build a solid home business.

Travel consumers expect their Agent to be well trained, and knowledge, and know more about the travel industry than they do. This builds trust, and confidence when buying travel from the Agent.

2. The second choice is our Home Based Travel Professional which is a Certificate program. Full details are provided below.
