If you love to travel and are looking for a way to earn more income, you might have thought about working in the travel and tourism industry. You may be wondering where to start when there are so many options. If you’re good at planning and organizing, enjoy building relationships and want to learn more about travel (and explore the world yourself), why not become an expert travel designer?
With Dream Vacations, you could embark on an amazing new travel opportunity that will fit around your life and commitments. You’ll help people plan and experience their ultimate vacations, all while fulfilling your own travel and lifestyle dreams.
What Does a Travel Advisor Actually Do?
Becoming a Dream Vacations Advisor is much more than simply picking and selling a predetermined itinerary from a catalogue. Nowadays, people want a much more personalized travel experience that takes them to the ideal destination and product for their needs and desires. They’re looking for a vacation that reflects their preferences, hobbies, interests and bucket list items – and they want a real human being to help them plan it.
That’s where you come in! As a home based travel agent you’ll design itineraries, recommend experiences and destinations, use your industry connections and know-how to find them the best deals and then put it all together into one package that they can enjoy without stress. In a way, being a professional travel designer is like being a creative, a detective, a guide and an organizer all in one!
Do I Need Experience to Sell Travel Packages?
With Dream Vacations, it’s okay if you’re new to the industry or even to self-employment, because we’ll provide all the training you’ll need on what travel agents do and how to do it. It covers the technical side of things, like marketing, booking systems and filing taxes, as well as how to find all the best deals and the hottest new destinations. You’ll also get the chance to visit those places yourself, on familiarization trips, conferences or your own discounted travel – so you’ll be able to build up your own industry knowledge right from the beginning.
Another great thing about the Dream Vacations Advisor opportunity is that you can follow your own passions. So, if you have a place or vacation type that you’re enthusiastic about, you could choose to specialize and develop a niche in the market. For example, you could specialize in a destination like Europe, the Caribbean or Hollywood, or cruises, safaris, family getaways or honeymoons. Once you establish your expertise, clients will seek you out, recommend you to their friends and families, and help your business grow!
Benefit From Over Thirty Years of Industry Experience
As a Dream Vacation Advisor, you’ll be paired with a fellow travel enthusiast – an established Franchise Owner who’ll be your personal mentor and guide you through the whole process. Your business will be hosted by theirs, but you’ll still be independent and able to run things the way you choose. That means your work can be as flexible as you need it to be, with the freedom to work as many or as few hours as you want, from anywhere there’s a good internet connection.
You’ll also have access to our ever-growing online community, where you’ll find plenty of advice and a whole community of fellow travel designers ready to support and encourage you.
