Become a Work From Home Travel Agent

Build Your Own Travel Business. Work Your Way.

Love travel and like the idea of working for yourself?

Becoming a home based travel agent gives you the opportunity to build your own travel business without the expense and restrictions of running a traditional high-street travel agency.

As a Travel Wizard, you can work from home, choose the hours that suit you and build your own client base — while Travel Wizards provides the travel technology, supplier relationships, booking infrastructure, financial protection, training and ongoing support behind you.

You get the independence of running your own business without having to build an entire travel agency from scratch.

What Is a Home-Based Travel Agent?

A home-based travel agent — often called a travel homeworker — is a travel professional who sells holidays and other travel arrangements to customers while working remotely rather than from a traditional travel agency.

As a Travel Wizard, you'll be self-employed and responsible for developing your own business and customer relationships – but that doesn't mean you're on your own.

Travel Wizards provides the professional infrastructure behind your business, giving you access to the systems, suppliers and support you need to research, book and manage holidays for your customers.

You can therefore concentrate on what really matters: finding customers, creating fantastic holidays and building relationships that bring them back to you year after year.

Why Work From Home as a Travel Agent?

Homeworking has changed the traditional travel-agent model.  You no longer need a high-street shop or conventional office to build a successful travel business.

Work Around Your Life

One of the biggest advantages of becoming a homeworking travel agent is flexibility.

There are no traditional office opening hours. You decide when you work and can organise your business around your other commitments and your customers.

For some Travel Wizards, this may become a full-time business. Others may choose to develop their customer base more gradually.

Work From Almost Anywhere

Your travel business isn't tied to a shop or desk.

With your laptop, phone and internet connection, you can manage enquiries, research holidays, communicate with customers and work on bookings remotely.

Be Your Own Boss

Travel Wizards gives you the infrastructure to operate, but you're building your business.

You develop your customer relationships, grow your network and decide how ambitious you want to be.

Build Your Own Client Base

A good travel customer can be worth far more than one booking.

Provide exceptional service and customers can return to you for their next holiday, recommend you to friends and family and become increasingly valuable to your business over time.

Earn Commission From the Holidays You Sell

Rather than earning a fixed salary, your income is linked to the business you generate.

At Travel Wizards, you can receive 80% of the qualifying commission on bookings generated through your own customers and network.

You can also receive 50% of the qualifying commission on company-generated leads provided by Travel Wizards.

Home-Based, But Part of a Team

One concern people sometimes have about working from home is isolation.  That's why we don't want Travel Wizards to feel like a collection of individuals who happen to use the same booking system.

We want it to be a team.  You'll be building your own customer base and your own business, but you'll also have other Travel Wizards and our central team to turn to for advice, ideas and support.  You get the freedom of homeworking without feeling as though you have to figure everything out alone.

How Does Working From Home as a Travel Agent Actually Work?

The process is surprisingly simple.

1. You Find the Customer

Your customers can come from friends, family, colleagues, recommendations, networking, social media, local connections, existing clients or your own marketing activity.

Travel Wizards can also generate enquiries which may be distributed to suitable Wizards.

2. You Discover What They Want

A great travel agent does much more than search for the cheapest holiday.

You'll talk to your customer about where they want to go, what they enjoy, their budget, preferred airports, hotel requirements and all the little details that can turn a holiday into the right holiday.

3. Research the Best Options

You'll use the travel systems and supplier relationships available through Travel Wizards to research suitable holidays and create recommendations for your customer.

4. Make the Booking

Once your customer is happy, you arrange their holiday using the professional booking and payment infrastructure available through Travel Wizards.

5. Look After Your Customer

Your relationship doesn't end when the booking is confirmed.

Great travel agents look after their customers before they travel, help when questions arise and remain their point of contact throughout the booking journey.

6. Earn Your Commission

When the booking generates qualifying commission, you receive your agreed share.  And Travel Wizards offers another important advantage...

You Get Paid Sooner

Why Wait Until Your Customer Travels?



Cash flow can be a challenge when you're building any new business.

At some travel businesses, an agent may have to wait until after a customer has travelled before receiving their commission.

Travel Wizards works differently.

Once your customer's balance has cleared, we pay your qualifying commission share — even when the customer isn't travelling for several more months.

You make the sale. Your customer pays. You get paid.

What Do I Need to Work From Home as a Travel Agent?

You don't need a high-street shop or expensive office.  For most Travel Wizards, the physical requirements are relatively simple:

A Suitable Computer

You'll need a reliable computer or laptop capable of running the systems you use to research and manage travel bookings.

Reliable Internet

Your business is largely online, so a good broadband connection is essential.

A Phone

Call us old-fashioned, but we still love the phone.  Despite providing you with the latest travel technology, a range of AI tools and a state-of-the-art holiday quoting system, we strongly encourage you to chat with customers, suppliers and the Travel Wizards team.

Somewhere Suitable to Work

That doesn't necessarily mean having a dedicated office, but you should have somewhere you can concentrate, speak privately with customers and handle their information securely.

Time to Build Your Business

Homeworking offers flexibility, but flexible shouldn't be confused with effortless.  You're building a genuine travel business.

The people who get the most from the opportunity will be those prepared to develop relationships, respond to enquiries professionally, learn the industry and consistently promote their services.
