Is Travel Agent Education Required to Become a Travel Advisor?
Nope! By law, there is no exam, certification or degree required to sell travel. You heard that right! Anyone can get started in the travel industry, regardless of background, location or education. Of course, you’ll also need a passion for travel and desire to create unforgettable experiences for your clients!
Because there are no formal legal requirements, you’ll want to ensure you’re not jumping in as a little fish in a big pond.
