The travel Agency industry is dying... thanks to technology.
Look for something else to do.

You could apply within without any training if you have lots of travel experience but many colleges offer Tourism and Hospitality courses. But coming from someone who has worked in the hotel industry in the front office for over 3 years, that course really doesn't buy you much. I've seen people who have taken that course start just slightly above me with wages.

Hey Sunshine, It all really depends on what type of business you are looking for. I am a Referring Travel Agent for YTB travel Agency, and there is really minimal training, the training is mainly focus on growing your own business. As an RTA you own your very own travel agency on the world wide web, it is up to you the level that you can take it. Take a look at my own website so you can see for yourself how the actual website looks like www.mastertravelers.com if you are interested on owning a part of this multi billion dollar industry then you can find a little more information here www.goherenext.info.
In my opinion, the traveling that I do is what is giving me the experience to be abel to refer my clients with all kinds of getaways to fit anyones budget.
