How to Become a Vacation Planner
As a vacation planner and travel advisor, you’ll organize and book vacations for your clients. In some instances, the client will already have a destination or experience in mind, like an African safari or an Alaskan cruise, but they need your professional expertise to help plan out the details. In other cases, you’ll need to devise the best vacation for your customers from scratch. Your knowledge will help build the best itinerary for your client based on their budget, preferences, and desired experiences.
You can also become a specialist in certain types of travel or particular destinations, and people will know you as the “adventure travel agent” or the “couples travel planner.” The possibilities are endless!
How to Become a Cruise Travel Agent
Cruises are an extremely popular part of the travel industry. As a travel advisor, you can expect to plan cruise vacations for your clients. In fact, around 70% of luxury cruises are booked through travel advisors.
The cruise industry is complex and dynamic, so having a knowledgeable advisor to guide people through the process is invaluable. Cruisers are also very loyal, meaning you can build relationships that will keep clients returning to you again and again. With Dream Vacations, you’ll have access to cruise-specific training that allows you to become a trusted expert for your clients.
Plus, with the Dream Vacations brand, you’ll indicate to customers that you can connect them with any type of travel experience from cruising to excursions, all-inclusive resorts, guided tours – the world is yours to sell!
