Apply for the Career Fast Track »The Career Fast Track is the full-time path for people who are new to the travel industry and want to build a real travel business. It is Peter Coloyan’s conviction, after 52 years in travel, that there is no better program for becoming a successful travel agent — because it gives you, on day one, the things most new agents spend years trying to build.
What the Career Fast Track Includes
Your own website — with traffic
A personalized domain and an aged website that already has traffic, from our inventory, focused on what you want to sell: cruises, tours, all-inclusives, airfare and more.
Host agency, first year covered
Placement with the major host agency that fits your goals, with your host’s first-year fees covered as part of the package.
Our leads program
Entry into our leads program once you earn Specialist status with one or more major travel suppliers or destinations. Keep 80% of the commission on your own bookings; leads we send you are shared. Details »
A year with Peter
A full year of personal assistance from Peter Coloyan. You receive his direct phone number when you sign up.
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.
Featured: A Showcase Listing on Every Consumer Directory
Career Fast Track agents receive a Showcase listing on every one of our consumer travel directories: the Official Travel Directory, Official Cruise Directory and Official River Cruise Directory — plus the Official Vacation Directory and Official Tour Directory as they launch.
This is what sets the Career Fast Track apart. You receive two kinds of leads: network leads, which our websites generate and share with Specialist agents, and direct leads — travelers who find your Showcase listing and contact you. Inquiries from your own listing come straight to you, and there is no lead share on them — you earn your full commission.
At the End of Your First Year
- You own the website. The domain and site we set up for you are yours to keep.
- You are in the leads program as a Specialist agent.
- Peter’s advice continues for as long as you are producing and taking our leads.
An Investment in Your Career
The Career Fast Track is a serious investment in your career. Pricing depends on the website you choose from our inventory: our most established sites carry the highest value, and newer niche sites cost less. Pricing is provided after a consultation, once we understand your goals and the website that fits you best. Apply below and we’ll arrange a time to talk.
Installment plans may be available.

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.
