Additional Income Selling Travel
Sell travel part-time, around your job, your family or your retirement — placed with the right major host agency, with leads from our network once you earn Specialist status.
Apply for Additional Income »The Additional Income path is for people who are new to the travel industry and want to earn extra income selling travel. You don’t need a storefront or a background in travel. You need the right host agency, the right training, and a source of clients — and that is what this path gives you.
What the Additional Income Path Includes
Host-agency placement
We place you with a major host agency — one of the leading host agencies we partner with — chosen to fit your goals and the time you have.
Training through your host
Your host agency provides your training, services your bookings and pays your commissions.
Leads from our network
Once you earn Specialist status with one or more major travel suppliers or destinations, you can receive leads from our network. Keep 80% of the commission on your own bookings; leads we send you are shared. Details »
A free directory listing
A free listing on our consumer travel directories, so travelers can find and contact you directly. Inquiries from your own listing come straight to you, and there is no lead share on them — you earn your full commission.
Important: we do not hire you, and you do not work for us. We place you with a major, established host agency — one of the leading host agencies we partner with. Your host agency services your bookings, pays your commissions and provides your training. Our role is to match you with the right host, open the door to our leads program, and guide you.
Who This Path Is For
- You love travel and want to earn from it without leaving your current job.
- You are retired, semi-retired or at home and want meaningful part-time work.
- You already plan trips for family and friends — and would like to be paid for it.
- You want to try the travel business before deciding on a full-time career.
Thinking bigger? The Career Fast Track adds your own established website, your host’s first-year fees, a Showcase listing on every one of our consumer directories and a year of personal assistance from Peter.

Learn From “Mr. Cruise”
Be a Travel Agent is led by Peter Coloyan — “Mr. Cruise.” Peter is a 52-year travel-industry veteran who sold his first cruise in 1974. He has sold more than half a billion dollars in cruises, has trained more than 500 travel agents, and has owned a host agency himself.
That last point matters to you: Peter knows how host agencies work from the inside — what they offer, how they differ, and which kind of agent thrives with which host. And now we’re back, with one mission: training the travel-industry community to be better prepared for the future.
