Im just wondering if anyone on here works in the travel industry? I've recently discovered that its what I want to do. I plan on going to college next fall, but I'm having trouble choosing a major & a minor. Or finding a university that has a travel & Tourism program. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get started I'd greatly appreciated it.

Well I am a travel agent. But i learned thru experience. I never went to college to be one.
I'm actually taking a Travel & Tourism program now through Penn Foster College. It's a distance education program that allows you to become a travel agent and hopefully gain employment in the tourism industry wether it be a travel agent, working for the airlines, hotels, ect.
I already have my degree but just really wanted to study travel (and I admit reap some discounts). I have enjoyed it alot so far! It's really like "fun homework" to me.
If you have any questions, just DM me. Best of luck to you!!
I've been a travel agent for 15 years. I will tell you that it's very hard to get a job and unless you have a substantial size clientele and a good niche, there is very little money in it. If you think you could do it on your own, like out of your house, seek a good host agency. Be careful of MLM's only out to get your money and not in making you a good agent.
