About the role
Are you passionate about travel and looking for a flexible way to earn income on your own terms? We’re expanding and looking for motivated individuals who want to build their own independent travel business with the backing, training and support of an established brand.
This is an opportunity to operate as a self-employed Independent Travel Agent, building your own client base while partnering with an ABTA-bonded host agency.
About the Role
As an Independent Travel Agent, you’ll run your own travel business under our umbrella. You’ll earn commission on holidays, cruises and travel services you book, while benefiting from supplier relationships, training, and ongoing mentorship.
This is best suited to individuals who are self-motivated, proactive and excited about building something of their own.
What You’ll Be Doing
Planning and booking holidays for clients
Building relationships through networking (both online and offline)
Growing your personal brand and client base
Earning commission on travel bookings
Optionally introducing others to the business model
You are in control of how big or small you grow your business.
What We Provide
Full training (no prior travel experience required)
Step-by-step business launch support
Access to established travel suppliers
ABTA-bonded booking platform
Ongoing mentorship and community support
Work-from-anywhere flexibility
Earnings & Flexibility
Commission-based income (uncapped earning potential)
Part-time alongside existing work or full-time focus
Build at your own pace
Income reflects the time, consistency and effort you invest into building your client base.
Who This Is Suited To
Individuals seeking flexibility and greater control over their income
Confident networkers who enjoy building relationships
People willing to invest time and some initial business costs into launching their own venture
Those with the financial stability to focus on growth while commissions build
Professionals, parents, side-hustlers or entrepreneurs looking for an additional income stream
This opportunity is not a salaried role. It is designed for individuals who want to operate independently and grow a commission-based business within the travel industry.
Why Travel?
Travel is one of the fastest-growing lifestyle industries, with more people than ever seeking personalised holiday planning. This creates a strong opportunity for independent agents who provide a personal, trusted service.
Next Steps
If you're excited by the idea of running your own flexible travel business — with full support and training — we’d love to hear from you.
