Hi Ann, there are a number of ways you can get started as a travel agent. We actually created a resource for prospective agents that outlines the different avenues here: https://khmtravel.com/options-become-travel-agent/. To get started with us, you can either visit www.khmtravel.com/enroll or give our Membership Team a call at 1-888-611-1220 Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm ET. You do not need a certificate or degree to get started or to sell travel. Our educational programs are designed to provide you with the business and travel industry knowledge you need to be able to start booking travel and finding clients. In terms of income, for independent travel agents it varies because some operate their businesses on a part-time basis and some sell travel full-time. It also depends on what you want to sell, because different travel segments and suppliers offer higher commission levels. For instance, booking airline tickets and car rentals have lower commission rates than tour operators and cruise lines. Host Agency Reviews actually did a very thorough and colorful article on the average salaries of travel agents here: https://hostagencyreviews.com/blog/how-much-do-travel-agents-make-travel-agent-salary. If you have any questions about partnering us, feel free to reach out directly at 1-888-611-1220 or at memberships@khmtravel.com.
