Work from home travel agents book tickets and accommodations for travelers. While there are many online travel sites that enable someone to book their own travel plans, it is sometimes more cost-effective to use a travel agent, such as when booking a full travel package that includes airfare, hotel, car rental, and tours. Work from home travel agents may be independent contractors, or they may have their employer forward calls to their work line at home. As a work from home travel agent, you discuss what your clients want to do for their vacation and their budget. Then you make all the travel arrangements for your client, including getting tickets for local attractions. Your client may also call you to help resolve any issues that may come up during their trip.
