Home-Based Travel and Tour Business
How do you start your own travel and tours business as an independent travel agent with minimal investment?
And what are the things you should consider?
Host Company
First, you need a host company.
Check the legalities of your host company.
If your host company is in the Philippines, they must be a accredited with The Department of Tourism to legitimately operate a travel and tours business.
IATA Accredited Travel Agency
Second, for you to book international flights, your host company should have an IATA license or the International Air Transport Association license.
Types of Payment
Third, is there a recurring monthly fee?
Is there a royalty fee?
Is there a quota?
Do I need a cash bond?
Is there a renewal fee?
Can I operate only on certain countries – what if I travel outside of the country, can I still login to the system?
Learning and Development and Operations
Fourth, how will I operate my business?
Is there a training?
And can I ask a family member to operate my business?
How Much Is The Investment?
Finally, how much is the initial investment? Should I break a bank just to get started?
I started my journey in the travel industry because of a generous host company. All that I mentioned earlier they were able to answer and I still attend trainings to enhance my skills.
