Becoming an independent travel agent is the perfect career that lets you work from home or from anywhere on your own time. Travel agents can work full time or part time – on your own time.
We are travel professionals in the business for over 36 years. We're an independently owned travel agency, and NOT an MLM.
We are located in Stratford, Connecticut, USA, with an office in Barbados.
An independent travel agent are independent contractors who earn money by planning and booking trips for their clients on their own time through the travel agency. You are not an employee of the company, but an independent contractor doing business as Bridgetown Travel Agency.
As a travel agent, you'll consult with clients assisting them on the best destinations, accommodations, and things to do while on vacation. You will earn commission from booking hotels, cruises, tours, sightseeing, experiences and more. You'll liaise and communicate with tour operators, hotels, cruise lines, and other travel partners to book trips for your clients.
We provide our prospective agents with training, diving into choosing the best clients, working with our travel suppliers, and quoting clients, sales and marketing training, as well as product training. You can continue training with our scheduled meetings, webinars, and in-person training opportunities.
You'll be given access to all of our Travel Agent Portals where you can price and book travel for your clients and earn commission.
You earn commission from the travel you sell.
Supplier pays commission to the agency ranging from 10-28%. We split that base commission with you. Our commission split starts at 70% commission, and move up to 80% the more you sell.* On a 70/30 split, we pay you 70%, and the agency keeps 30%. Commissions are paid to us by our travel suppliers typically 30-60 days after your clients travel, and your commission is then paid to you.
Yes! As a travel agency, you'll have access to discounted rates after your training and after making your initial sale. You'll have opportunities to take familiarization (FAM) trips at significantly reduced rates to gain first-hand knowledge about new destinations, resorts, and cruise ships. That way you'll be better able to pass the knowledge on to customers when they're looking for their perfect vacation.
