With the creation of Priceline and Travelocity, travel agents are a dying breed. Soon, there won’t be a market for it anymore. I would try to assist others in another way. Maybe try having a travel website.
Check out the link below for loads of free information…
The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you’re interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you’ll inevitably have as well as many you haven’t anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
Travel Agency Specific:
* How to Start a Home Based Travel Agency by Tom Ogg, Joanie Ogg,
* Start Your Own Specialty Travel & Tour Business by Entrepreneur Press
* Start Your Own Travel Agency by Adam Starchild
* Home-Based Travel Agent, 5th Edition by Kelly Monaghan
Arkansas Specific:
* How to Start a Business in Arkansas by Entrepreneur Press
* Smartstart Your Arkansas Business by PSI Research
I also posted links to some free articles in the source box.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
