Becoming a Home-Based Travel Agent in Canada
The home-based travel agent model has grown dramatically in recent years. With modern booking platforms and video calling, you can run a full-service travel business from your home office — or anywhere with a good internet connection.
What You Need to Get Started
- A computer and reliable internet connection
- A dedicated phone or VoIP number for client calls
- Access to a booking platform (provided by Phoenix Voyages)
- A quiet space for client consultations
Finding Your First Clients
Most home-based advisors start with their personal network — friends, family, and colleagues who know and trust them. From there, referrals, social media, and community involvement grow the business organically.
Income Potential
Home-based advisors earn commissions on every booking. The more clients you serve and the more they travel, the more you earn. Many advisors also charge planning fees — a growing practice that compensates for the time invested in complex itineraries.
