How to Operate Your Travel Club Membership as a Travel Agent Business

A travel agent only gets paid when someone books a vacation.

Okay there has been a lot said about travel clubs here and many people still feel entering into the travel industry as a travel agent is the best deal.  Unfortunately, travel agents are not as popular now that travel sites have taken over the scene.  One would have to be a very skillful and creative travel agent to prove that you can beat those prices.  With the emergence of travel clubs, a travel agent has to fight tooth and nail to prove they have the most exclusive deals.

Check out this article to see what a travel agent does.  By doing so you will see that all you need are travel resources, relationships, and a way to get paid.

Still wouldn't it be great if you can still make money with your clients when they do book vacations?

It is very possible with a travel club.

Travel Agent: Travel club as a resource.

Travel clubs often come with personal websites dedicated to members.  This is so members have access to all parts of the world at any given time without the push of a time limit to order.  In addition, travel clubs do not upsell for more business, however you can.

If you have a potential customer that does not want to be in your travel club and have all of the benefits thereof (they are crazy), but aside from that you can still help them in their travels.

Travel club members can allow anyone to use their booking engine.

That is correct.

The booking engine of a travel club offers the lowest price available but that is all.  All of the member perks that come with the membership are not available to non-members but non-members can enjoy some of the discounts of regular travel and regular upgrades.

Travel Agent: How You Get Paid.

Any travel that is booked on the private engine of a travel club member is automatically credited to that members account.  As a travel club member, you can act as a travel agent by agreeing to book regular vacations, flights, cars, and hotels, for non-members.  Upon payment of the deal, the credit goes to you.

What's more interesting is that this for any type of travel.  Cruises, rentals, hotels, flights, local travel, international travel, short-term and long-term travel.

 Tip: The most popular way to advertise your business is to help people get to local events such as plays, games, and concerts through your booking engine.  This way you can become the go-to person for anything, not just traveling or vacation.  You can definitely out shine the next travel agent with your resources alone.
