Travel Agent School

This page offers career resources including articles and related links; a directory of schools providing quick and easy information about their programs, organized by location; and links to related career categories.

Travel agent schools will train you in airline reservation systems, customs regulations, currency exchange rates, what type of paperwork is required to travel (e.g. passport or visa), and other issues with international travel. Travel agent training will also help you improve your writing, computer, and sales skills. In addition, for a travel agent knowledge of destinations is critical, so you will learn more about geography, world history, and what makes certain travel destinations attractive. You may begin to develop your own regionalized specialty during the course of your studies.

Travel agent schools prepare you to help your customers plan vacations, recommend vacation choices, recommend choices of hotels, restaurants, tours to take, and more. Many travel agents develop specialties, such as African safaris or Australian vacations. One of the factors that makes a travel agent career attractive is that resorts frequently offer travel agents ultra low cost promotional trips to familiarize the travel agent with their property. More than 8 out of 10 salaried travel agents work for travel agencies. A smaller number of travel agents work as a corporate travel agent, or on a freelance basis.
