Agent Tricks of the Travel Trade



 I will be constantly: I am not a housewife. I feel more comfortable constantly while traveling, city by city, on the edge of the sea surfing, living out of my suitcase and groping a foreign language phrase book, than I feel comfortable and comfortable, sleeping on my sofa on Sunday afternoon. Maybe I'm a little crazy, but I feel crushing running to make a connecting flight (even if it's red eye); I believe it was comfortable when the airline gave me my luggage was a flight behind, leaving not burdened to immediately start walking; And I thought myself had a lot of sense when I arrived at the hotel booked only to realize that I forgot to make a reservation but still marked the room. Of course, while I don't mind the headache of the journey that is felt, I object to high costs often associated with him. Traveled, for me, especially about escaping - whether it works, traveling, obligations, sometimes even family and friends - but how do I escape if I'm worried about how much I spend the whole trip?


I mention costs as something that has the potential to worry about me not because of the fact that, in fact, it doesn't make me worry at all. At least not because I want it, do the research needed and teach yourself a travel trade agent trick. The travel agent trick, because besides being a constant traveler and writer, I was also a licensed travel agent. Not in the sense that I work for others, book their hotel, find their flights, or land their agreement on Alaska cruise. Actually, I only use my license for personal runaway (good, okay, sometimes for family and friends too, but only when their comments about my debonair, luck is very flattering).


If you've never heard of this previous travel industry loofol, this might sound rather (or fully) it doesn't make sense. In fact, however, it is quite common among everyday people, they are both traveling or once a year, both of whose works are related to those whose work is only related to what remains silent. What I mean, plain and simple, is anyone - you, me, your second cousin Otto, or my next-door neighbor Irene - can get the license of their travel agent lickety-split, and immediately started to reap the benefits.


The first thing first: When making travel arrangements for themselves, every agent knows not to order one step of their trip through one of their own, i.e. Other travel agents. Instead, they use travel consolidators.


Think of differences in terms: agents and consolidation.


Agents, in any industry where they are the main players, clearly get something in return for the service they provide. In sports, the agent represents athletes, works outside the field to win their client contracts and Cute commercial so that athletes in turn, without financial disruption, concentrate and win in the field. For this service, the self-winning agent is a percentage of every deal they broker. The same applies in showbiz, modeling, or company where the headhunter wheels and handles multi-million dollar salaries and stock incentive plans for their CEO clients. Likewise, then, in the travel industry, agents receive discounts, orientations and other special benefits, not from customers to whom they book hotels or flights, but from vendors who provide the service (i.e. a hotel chain or airline) which is profitable from customers. As an agent for airlines, etc., they encourage customers to vendors that offer them most in return.


The consolidator, on the other hand, is almost the opposite. Instead of expanding travel costs by collecting costs, they join, for efficiency, travel parts that are expensive and unstable to be cheaper, more solid. They work to maximize vendor numbers, ratios, and fees per head. Think about it in terms of publishing magazines: Real costs in printing problems are not the number of copies made, but only set and set the plate that will allow the print to run in the first place. Once that is set to go, the only added costs are that of extra paper and ink. The travel industry is the same, the more spaces that fill, the cheaper tickets or rooms become per person. As in any industry, consumers (i.e. travelers in this case) benefit from the sheer volume of numbers (i.e. all travelers, yourself included). 


You, as a licensed travel agent will get special contact with this consolidator and the offering vendor must offer to maximize costs per person. But while it's all fine and good to make arrangements through consolidators that are contrary to the agent, just because you get a license (available online in less than an hour) does not mean the consolidator will believe you as many professional professionals. To avoid common mistakes that explain amateurs from a pro, you must learn Lingo and the right travel code. For this reason, there is an ebook volume (with the appropriate print version) that provides the necessary knowledge, which you can learn quickly before contacting the consolidator and easily flips through it if placed in place. Get this reference. Some of them are thick, but in fact, you will spend less than a hundred dollars for everything you need to potentially save thousands on the first trip you plan to license your travel agent in hand.


Furthermore, instead of switching to discount rate seekers such as Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity or Priceline sought by travelers, as travel agents, you also get access to unknown travel consolidators, but more profitable use.


Together, the benefits will be realized immediately. Buy airplane tickets a day before the flight is scheduled to depart, but only pay for what you have, you buy a ticket two months earlier. Get a spacious cruise cabin next to the captain's quarter for the price of a sea-land cabinet. Find Yourself in the seaside inn, Honeymoon Suite for the price you might pay for the bed plot bait next to the ice machine.


Finally, the travel industry is a strange and beautiful creature, in this case, fortunately, profits are driven as many other industries that we often hate. For those who present themselves as a decent agent, promote and thus make money for the industry as a whole, that means endless allowances. I get special offers from airlines, cruise lines, and packaging tour companies than I know what to do. For me, casinos, amusement parks, and luxury resorts are not always what I stand for, but if it is a cup of your tea and your Hocus Pocus agent seems legitimate, you suddenly find yourself choosing between the best of many of the many worlds: Final Free Week in the Napa Valley, first-class seat to Tokyo, all pay safari fees, cruise ships under ...


So what are you waiting for, start! Find an ebook or a comprehensive alternative guide that takes you through the process of being a travel agent, step by step. Don't sit on this occasion, but start traveling cheaply, today ...


As for me, I have a flight to catch ...


Now, where do I put my passport?
