If you’re a travel enthusiast looking for a way to earn money in the summertime that fits your lifestyle, becoming a Dream Vacations travel advisor may just be the perfect gig for you.
What Travel Agents Do
Travel agents (also known as travel advisors) work to provide their clients with their dream vacations, planning once-in-a-lifetime travel packages.
These trips are customized down to every fine detail, earning you a commission on each part of the package you sell. This can include:
- Cruises
- Airline and rail transportation
- Hotels and accommodations
- All-inclusive resorts
- Travel insurance
- Excursions and tours
- Dining and shopping vouchers
- And more!
Do Travel Agents Travel?
Even if you’re completely new to the industry, you can become a travel advisor, though a passion for travel is an important part of the role. Travel advisors are encouraged to explore new places, gaining first-hand experience in some of the top travel destinations around the world.
Dream Vacations supports our advisors’ desires to travel, offering discounted travel opportunities through our travel industry partnerships. There are even opportunities for free travel, including familiarization trips, or “FAM” trips, to hot new travel spots, luxurious resorts and onboard world-class cruises.
