Have you forgotten why you started in the travel business in the first place? Many agents got started in the industry because they had a huge love of travel and found they could make money sharing their knowledge with friends and clients. Next thing you know you had a full blown travel business.

Well today things are much different. The travel industry has become a difficult business to be successful in. Airlines are consistently getting harder to work with and have eliminated commissions. Gigantic corporations have launched travel megasites online, making it hard for a small agency with storefront costs to compete. National and State Laws have made it very difficult for small agencies to comply with the growing list of legal requirements. World events are constantly changing the travel patterns of our clients. GDS and agency technology costs are constantly increasing. These factors are causing many smaller agencies to be forced out of business. Even well established travel agents are finding themselves in difficult times. That is where the Travel Agent Pros program comes in!

Why Travel Agent Pros?
The main goal of the Travel Agent Pros program is to provide travel agents with the best combination of technology, service & resources while providing a real opportunity for success. We do this by offering the best all around value (from $299/year) and commission (up to 80%) sharing in the industry. Our vendor commissions are high and you will not get more for your money anywhere else. No monthly fees, no hidden charges, just a one-time annual fee gets you started in the program.

Training
In order to keep our membership dues as low as possible, we do not provide formal training for inexperienced agents. As an alternative, we will walk you through the booking process when you need to make a reservation. When this is the case, we will pay a reduced commission of 40%. When you do not need our assistance, you will keep 70% of all commissions.

Industry Benefits
CLIA & IATAN benefits are available to all eligible agents. Additional FAMS, seminar and training opportunities are also available.
