Home Based Travel Professional

Imagine 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 Advisor, or Travel Agent. The title varies with travel companies.

Benefits of Working as a Home Based Travel Professional / Travel Advisor / Agent

We have worked with thousands of Home Based Travel Professionals who have shared 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 other work, family and other commitments)
  • Opportunity to TRAVEL and visit destinations around the world which makes 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 a particular area of travel or destination, selected country(s) or regions, etc. aligned with interests, and hobbies. This may include specializing in a niche market e.g. destination weddings, adventure travel, wellness, spas, and many others
  • Specializing in selling cruises anywhere in the world

Q & A:

Q: “I have gone through the Travel College Canada website, and see there is a diploma and certificate program. I am not sure which is best for me. I am planning to work from home, selling travel.”

A: Please read content on each program page to ensure you choose the best program to suit your needs:

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 is a blending of travel and tourism, and an overview of four core business competencies. This ensures the necessary knowledge, and skills are developed on which to build a solid home business.

Travel consumers expect their Travel Advisor/Agent to be well trained, and knowledgeable, and know more about the travel industry than they do which builds consumer trust, and confidence.
