How To Become a Travel Agent Toronto
SCAMS: Regardless of where in the word you plan on working, scam companies operate everywhere. They mostly advertise on the Internet and often focus on all the fun benefits of being a travel agent. Their advertisements usually say you can be your own boss and work from home, travel the world for pennies, work either full or part time and still make lots of money. To start, all you will have to do is pay a few hundred dollars which will give you your own website to start selling travel. There are legitimate agencies that recruit people to independently sell travel for them; however, some of these advertisements are scams. They only want to take your money for something that sounds too good to be true. Make sure you are dealing with a reputable agency before getting involved. http://www.homebasedtravelagent.com/scams.htm
