Introduction
Over the last decade, the travel industry
has experienced dramatic changes. Starting with the deregulation of the travel
industry by the U.S. government, which allowed
the advent of the outside agent. This deregulation was designed to stimulate
competition… and it has! Carlson Wagonlit
Travel/CITS has taken advantage of this this
opportunity, by creating new technology,
and moving the world's largest industry from
out in the street into your business or house! Our technology has closed the door on old-
fashioned methods and propelled the travel
industry into the next century.
To become a Travel Agent, there are no state
or federal licensing requirements, no tests,
and no schooling. You must only be employed by a licensed and bonded Travel Agency, which
CITS Travel is. We are also members of ARC, IATAN, CLIA and
ASTA, all of which are industry organizations
reflecting the professionalism, quality and
dedication of the Travel Agency community.
CITS Travel will make you an Independent Contractor by placing you with our well established Travel Agency which specializes in working with Independent Contractors. On registration, you will receive a kit explaining simple procedures to help you become comfortable in making travel arrangements and earning you an extra income.
Everyone buys travel. Far too many travel buyers are not satisfied with the value, service, or limited selection provided by traditional travel agencies. Think about it, just about everyone you know travels!
If you are like most people, you are in touch with somewhere between 100 and 300 people. Think about your friends, family, clubs or religious groups. Do you have coworkers, clients, or employees at your company? Do you belong to an association? Do you have access to lists, newsletters, the Internet, or and audience of any kind?
Significant second income is possible by simply providing your friends, family, and contacts better service and selection through CITS Travel--and YOU earn the standard travel commissions.
Once you are an Independent Contractor Travel Agent, the amount of time you spend is totally up to you. You may wish to start out with as little as 5 hours a month to enhance the income you already earn. Or you may decide to build your travel business into a full-time occupation. The nice part of our program is that all you have to do is find people who want to travel. You refer them to your personal consultant at CITS Travel and we will do the rest.

Cruise Lines, hotels, rental cars, and others reserve their BEST discounts for travel professionals. Why? Travel professionals use their personal experiences to encourage others to do the same. Travel has always been sold through networking, people telling others about their travel experiences. Industry surveys have shown that over 80% of vacation package buyers make their choice based on the recommendation of a friend, relative or business associate.
