What type of education does a travel agent need?
Asked by Emily D
What type of education do you need to be a travel agent? Where can you study the program (like what type of schools/where, etc.)? Do you get a certificate, degree, diploma? Are there any publications that might have job openings available in this field, or do you have to open your own business? (I never really see advertised travel agency job openings.) I have already graduated college but am considering a career change. This is something I'm curious about, so any info would be helpful.

Best Answer:
Nothing as far as I know But are you sure about going into an industry where over 50% of it is now done online, and the numbers are moving away from travel agents in favour of online every day? I would look to go into a very niche area of travel, like luxury tours, where the odds of it going online are lower. Get in there before all the other travel agents need new jobs!
