Learning how to become a travel planner is a highly rewarding experience, propelling you to once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences all while helping folks plan their dream vacations.
Dream Vacations Advisors have a uniquely lucrative opportunity as part of our powerful community, and with hundreds of successful advisors, their individual journeys and travel adventures speak for themselves.
Do travel agents travel?
Personal travel is an important piece of what travel agents do. The most successful travel planners have first-hand knowledge to provide their customers with the best travel experiences possible, so it makes sense that we offer our Dream Vacations Advisors travel discounts and perks to help develop their craft.
Becoming a travel advisor could be your first step in seeing the world. As Sarah and Andrew Fagen, one team of Dream Vacations Advisors will attest, they’ve visited all seven continents, 50 states, and more than 100 countries and 100 cruises in their time with Dream Vacations. As a celebration for being amongst our highest sellers in 2014, they embarked on an unforgettable trip to Peru, climbing iconic Machu Picchu.
Their well-earned tagline says it all: “Ask us, we’ve been there.”
Full travel perks for Dream Vacations Advisors include:
- Specialized travel rates with our extensive travel network
- Free travel opportunities to explore new destinations
