There are very important reasons why the travel industry is looking for reliable travel coordinators. One of the main reasons is that ‘International Travel Safety’ has become a major concern.

The travel industry has long provided a way to help Americans travel more safely. Again, this is an old fashioned method of travel. Even caravans traveling west were not exempt from this method.

Agencies are looking for travel addicts; I refer to Coordinators all the time. I guess you are wondering why a travel agency would be looking for travel coordinators. Most people would say that would be the job of a travel agent. Wrong! Most travel agents don’t travel that often. They are busy booking trips for their clients. They lose money every time they leave their office or computer. It is the Travel Coordinators who travel often.

Travel junkies are the people who organize their lives to accommodate last-minute travel. Travel addicts will generally pay rent or mortgage, however, 401K or any savings or investment of any kind is bound to finance the trip at any given time.

A group travel coordinator would have the following attributes: commitment, loves to travel, likes people, is confident in promoting himself and his travel destination, can pay attention to detail, loves to coordinate and can use common sense, then you qualify for FREE Travel.

This opportunity works best when you start as a hobby and turn it into a part-time job and then a full-time business. No need to reinvent the wheel – do what others have done before you. I know a retired man who started out selling an exotic Caribbean travel party every year. Word of mouth took over, because people really enjoyed themselves, and now he doesn’t have to work 9 to 5. The commission of booking 300 to 500 people a year at a 5 star resort on the islands every year, pay BIG.

I guess you’re wondering how a travel coordinator just starting out travels for FREE. Easy, when you book 6 people or 15 people or the number established by the entire travel seller; one person goes FREE.

Example: Let’s say you have 9 people who want to go to China. You have a 15% surcharge on the wholesale price, plus you get a free hotel and air if 6 people sign up. Your mother and your father, your sister and your cousin, your girlfriend and her husband want to go and the lady from the church wants to go. And when another lady in the church found out from the pastor that Mrs. Yo was going, so she decided to go. (Her husband said if he wants to see China, he’ll go to Chinatown!) So now she has 8 people, 9 including you. You get a free travel pass and you can decide to reduce the price of your package at the last minute because you didn’t need the extra 15% margin, or you can keep it for any emergencies during the trip or you can use it to market your next trip. Up to you!

Trivia Trip Coordinator. If you can already see a problem with the above travel group, then you really understand group travel. Think about how you would handle the above situation BEFORE a problem occurs.
