The Training Division of Leisure Travel Alliance & Leisure Travel Alliance Central
New Travel Agent & Owner’s Course
New and Updated
Updated, Online, Self-Paced Class
Upon completion of this course, you will have gathered enough basic knowledge of the travel industry to sell leisure travel as an independent contractor for a host travel agency or consider other start-up options. LTA Central, our host travel agency, will offer you the option of applying to sell travel under its banner.
These are some of the benefits of becoming an independent travel agent/advisor:
- You will effectively become a part-time or full-time travel agency owner and be in business for yourself.
- You will earn commissions on the leisure travel products you sell.
- There are no minimum work hour requirements or sales quotas.
- You will likely work from home, but you can also work in a commercial location.
- You will have discounted travel opportunities.
- You will earn commission on your personal and business travel when paying retail rates for commissionable travel products.
- Based on the advice of your professional tax and legal consultants, you may qualify for certain business tax deductions.
About International Travel Institute of Texas (ITI) - Established 1974
The International Travel Institute (ITI) is the training division of LTA Central, a host travel agency. The parent company of both is Leisure Travel Alliance, a traditional travel agent consortium. Leisure Travel Alliance and LTA Central provide essential services to their more than 500 U.S. travel agents and travel agency members.
ITI has provided training for entry-level travel agents for 50 years. In earlier years, study courses were designed for persons interested in working as salaried employees in traditional storefront travel agencies. With the elimination of airline commissions in the 1990s and the subsequent decline of storefront travel agencies, home-based travel agencies are now the dominant business model in the travel agent community.
Our management team has over 100 years of combined experience working in and with the travel agency community. We are available to provide you with support before, during and after your class experience.
