The price is very reasonable. Travel agents are not professionals. That s the equivalent to working in a retail book store. Travel agents are in this line of work for the perks, not the money. It s like working at a book store for the freebies and discounts.
Travel agency is a sales position, like selling magazines.
If you know someone who wants to buy magazines, and you know a supplier for magazines, you can sell to the buyer but keep a commission of the total sale for yourself. Travel agency is not to be confused with a licensed profession like a real estate agent. Real estate agents must be licensed and pass a test to work. Travel agents do not need a license or pass a test, or know how to read well, or know how to use a computer, or know everything about travel. A more realistic view of the outside sales travel agent would be the person who sells magazines from home, or from door to door like teenagers do.
