How do I become a Travel Agent?

Question

What classes do I take? How do I take them? Do I have to get a license?

I'll take any info you've got. Thanks :)

Answer 1

Becoming a travel agent is not so difficult. Earlier days one has to become IATA certified for booking air tickets through GDS (Global distribution system) or CRS (Central Reservation System).



But now you can become a travel agent by developing your own online travel portal development.

Actually, the previous answer looks very complicated. Why not piggyback on another agency? Try an easy and reputable one like TAAN, the Travel Agent Advantage Network. You can do everything a travel agent does, without all the learning of complex systems. Good luck!
