Many smart travelers are now learning the secrets that travel agents don't want them to know about. They learn how to save 50% - 75% on hotel stays, up to 55% discounts on airfare, free first class upgrades, deeply discounted rental cars, half-priced Theme Park admission, cruises for $45/day or less, free show tickets and free meals in some cases.

You too can get these savings with a Global travel agent card. These are just a few of the courtesies that you'll find extended to you when traveling as a licensed travel agent. But they get even better.

Travel vendors ' airlines, hotels, tour operators, car rental agencies, cruise lines, etc recognize the benefits of having agents become familiar with the products they are selling. It is for this very reason that in addition to favorable rates and discounts, these same vendors also offer free or almost free familiarization trips to resorts destinations, free dinners, free shows, and free cocktail hours to learn more about the vendor products.

Just imagine, a couple of weeks after receiving this priceless information, you get an invitation for you and a guest to spend an entire week at an all-inclusive resort, absolutely free. Normally, this experience would set you back at least $3,000. And that's not all, this resort owner wants to pamper you and create an experience of a lifetime so that you, as a travel agent, will refer your customers back to the resort.

If you want to earn some extra money selling travel to friends, family members, business associates and even customers, you're licensed to do so.

Besides the extra income, there are many great benefits to being in business. One of these great benefits is the tax advantage. In most states, you can deduct almost all your business expenses. In fact, just working part-time can make you a great second income, but it is not required when you become a Global travel agent. Selling travel is not required to get in all the travel benefits that are described above.
