Selling Dreams

The travel industry is like no other. While the income opportunity is certainly there, that doesn’t seem to be what attracts new travel agents to the business. They seem to be attracted by a fascination with travel and the opportunity to make people’s dreams come true; to help create memories that will last a lifetime; to bring families closer together than ever; and to give the “golden years” a totally new meaning for seniors.

Yes, travel agents are sales people. They’re selling dreams and excitement!  They’re well paid, but that’s not the real motivator. It’s the indescribable feeling they get when travelers return from their vacation and enthusiastically share the experience of a lifetime, their memories, and thank the travel agent for helping to make it all possible.   Not many people can say that when they go to work each day, their job is to make people happy, and that they enjoy their work so much that they “take it home with them” --- talking to family, friends, neighbors, even strangers about the wonderful world of travel and the most amazing places on earth.

With the tremendous advances in technology in recent years, home based agents have flourished because of this concept.  People enjoy working as travel agents and opening a home based business is ideal for not just money but a hobby.  Even in hard economic times the industry has grown making more dreams possible...
