Learning Resource for Those Interesed in Home Based Travel Agency

Podcast Two

In today's show we discussed Kelly Monaghan's series of home study books for those desiring to start their own home based travel business. I have a link to Kelly's books at my web site at http://www.hometravelagent.net.

Also discussed are the licensing requirements for travel agents in various states. You can find out more information about travel law at the Travel Law web site.

In an article in the Wall Street Jounal Online by Kelly Spors dated February 27, 2005, she discussed online travel sites and the addition of taxes and fees at the last puchasing minute. This practice makes the online travel appear to have cheaper rates.

In our travel stories segment the Desert Inn of Yeehaw Junction, Florida was featured. This is the place to go for a good gator burger!

We will be discussing host agencies in our next podcast. If you are new to the travel business you will need a good host agency.
