ABOUT BECOMING A TRAVEL AGENT!
"The travel industry is exploding with opportunity and is expected to be the number one contributor to the U.S. gross national product within the very near future. Airlines, cruise lines, hotels, resorts and other travel infrastructure are growing at an unprecedented rate and the common thread between all of the growth is distribution. Suppliers are looking toward the retail travel agent community to create the future demand necessary to continue the growth and prosperity.
At the same time, trends within the travel industry are evolving a network of home-based travel agents. With the Internet came the opportunity for niche specialization for thousands of travel agents. Today, a home-based travel professional can expect to make an excellent living."
The most important aspects of being an outside travel agent is an affiliation with a professional , agency that is honest- above board - helpful - available - and one that constantly provides the latest information on specials and travel news.
This is what we here at Odyssey Express Travel offers to all of our agents, without exception. My office is almost always open and I am never more than a phone call or an e-mail away from the office. I am always helpful, and takes my call-ins when I am away from my office. I can go online to make reservations, do my invoicing, and be part of a major travel agency where I can offer the best prices to my clients. I feel that that closeness affords my clients the best service anywhere. Such a frame of mind can only be reached with the support of a great team which I feel that I have created. If one is an outside travel agent and wishes to become affiliated with this group and take advantage of my cooperation and enthusiasm please call me.
