You’ve got a love for travel, an eye for deals, and you’re always the one planning the group trip (even when you said you weren’t gonna do it this time 😅). Deep down, you know you could turn that talent into something real—but maybe you’ve been holding back.

Look, we get it. Starting something new can be scary. But guess what? 2025 is your year to stop playing small and finally make that dream your business.

Let’s talk about how you can launch your travel agent career with confidence—and do it fearlessly.

💥 Why Now Is Actually the Best Time to Get Started

If you’ve been waiting for a “perfect time,” this is it. The travel industry is back in full swing, and folks are ready to go everywhere. Group trips, luxury escapes, baecations, destination weddings—travel is hotter than ever, and people are looking for someone just like you to help them plan it all.

Here’s what’s making 2025 the year to jump in:

• Travelers want personalized experiences and are booking with real humans again.

• Tour companies and resorts are giving out bigger commissions and bonuses to agents.

💁🏾‍♀️ First Things First: Get Your Mind Right

Confidence isn’t about knowing everything on day one—it’s about believing in yourself enough to start anyway.

So instead of thinking:

“What if I mess up?”
Try flipping it to:
“What if I absolutely kill it?”

Ask yourself:

• Why do I want to be a travel agent?

• What kind of lifestyle do I want to create?

• Who do I want to serve and help travel better?

Your “why” is your fuel. The stronger it is, the further you'll go.

🤝 Find a Host Agency That Feels Like You

You’re not supposed to do this solo, boo. A good host agency gives you:

• Access to all the booking platforms and tools

• Commissions and supplier relationships

• Ongoing training (hello, we’re always learning)

• And a real community that hypes you up and helps you grow

The Classy Way Travel Host Agency was made for future agents like you—Black women, go-getters, and folks who want to start a business and keep their peace. We're talking about launching in a space that feels supportive, inspiring, and just... real.

💅🏾 Build Your Brand—Make It You

You don’t need a fancy website to start—but you do need to know what you stand for. Your brand is the vibe you bring.

Think about:

• What kind of travel you’re obsessed with

• The type of clients you want to work with

• The feeling you want people to have when they book with you

Whether you're luxury all the way or budget-friendly with a lil' flare, make it match you. That’s the confidently beautiful way to stand out in this game.

📣 Start Talking About It (Even If It Feels Weird at First)

You don’t need to be an influencer. You just need to show up. Talk about your journey, your love for travel, and your services.

Try this:

• Post your favorite travel tips on IG or TikTok

• Share why you’re starting this business

• Offer a free vacation planning session to your inner circle

When people see your passion, they’ll trust you. And when they trust you? They’ll book with you.

📚 Keep Learning, Keep Glowing

No one knows it all—and that’s okay! The best travel agents are students first. Keep learning, keep leveling up, and stay plugged into a community that challenges you to grow.

Take those trainings. Ask questions. Go on that FAM trip. Learn the systems. The more you know, the more you glow—and the more money you can make doing what you love.

✨ Say YES to the Dream

You don’t need permission. You don’t need to have it all figured out. What you do need is the courage to take that first step.

Say yes to the dream.
Say yes to the life you really want.
Say yes to launching your travel agent career—fearlessly and confidently beautiful in 2025.

Because the world is waiting for your version of travel magic. And we at The Classy Way? We’re rooting for you every step of the way. 💚
