Travel agents offer advice on destinations, plan trips, and itineraries, and make travel arrangements for clients. In addition, travel agents sell transportation, lodging, and admission to entertainment activities.

Starting a travel agency can be fun and rewarding.

To get started, complete relevant tours and travel training, do market research and competitor analysis, then create a website so you can be found by travelers.
