If 2025 travel trends are any indication, now is the perfect time to get out there and try something new. More and more travelers are opting for different types of vacation experiences – from secluded beach resorts to stargazing trips and from “quiet escapes” to pursuing cooler climates.
Whatever your preferences — safari, cabin in the woods, city escape, cruise or something else — getting out there and exploring the world is more important than ever. But as a travel enthusiast… you already knew that!
How to Merge 2025 Travel Trends With Your Earning Potential
You’ve almost always got a trip on your calendar. When you don’t, you’re already mentally referencing your travel bucket list and starting to map out your next adventure. When your friends plan vacations, they ask you for advice first.
Have you ever wondered how to combine your love of travel with your career? If you’re already a travel enthusiast, why not earn extra money helping others enjoy the beauty of travel? Becoming a vacation planner — also called an independent travel agent — is one way to do exactly that.
How to Become a Travel Agent
Starting as an independent travel agent is easier than you might think! This path isn’t the same as becoming an employee for a company or launching your own business. As an independent contractor with a home-based travel agency like Dream Vacations, you’ll work alongside a Franchise Owner. This person is there to help support you — while you dictate how, when or where you work.
Since working with a Franchise Owner is different from the typical boss-employee relationship, an independent travel agent can decide exactly how much they want to work. Maybe you just want to put in a couple hours a week in addition to your regular career. Maybe you want to work enough to replace your full-time income. Or maybe your available hours change throughout the year. Being a travel agent from home means you can flex your work up or down depending on the season of life you’re in.
This gig also comes with lots of freedom and flexibility. You can log in from wherever there’s an internet connection, whether that’s your own living room or a ski resort coffee shop where you and your family are already vacationing.
Do Travel Agents Get Discounts?
Good news if you’re a travel enthusiast: Being a travel agent comes with exclusive discounts on your own travel plans. You’ll have the work flexibility to choose your own hours and login locations – as well as having the chance to take your work on the road and experience the world for yourself.
Dream Vacations offers independent travel agents exciting opportunities to take advantage of 2025 travel trends and enjoy a few trips yourself — all while helping clients book their own plans.
