Becoming a Travel Agent

Have you ever considered turning your passion for travel into a rewarding part-time or full-time career? LTA Central provides support for agents at all levels, full-time or part-time. You will typically start by doing a good job booking travel for family and friends. Your family and friends will then be happy to recommend you to their extended families and friends. Our International Travel Institute online course will set the foundation, and our staff will provide any needed support at your chosen activity level.

Travel Advisor Booking Access

You will learn how to access and use state-of-the-art booking platforms. We provide a refresher course in ocean geography, land geography, and major destinations. You will also have opportunities to network, interact, and learn with our 500 host agency and consortium travel agent members. As an added bonus, you can earn access to discounted travel and earn commissions on personal travel booked at retail rates.
