Homeworking Travel Jobs: Your Guide to Building a Career from Home

If you’re looking for flexibility, freedom, and the chance to turn your passion for travel into a rewarding career, homeworking travel jobs are one of the most exciting opportunities in today’s travel industry. More people than ever are stepping away from traditional office roles to embrace travel homeworking, combining the independence of running their own business with the support of a trusted travel agency.


At The Independent Travel Consultants, we help people start and grow their own travel businesses from home — with no joining fees, full industry protection, and the backing of a supportive community.


What Are Homeworking Travel Jobs?


homeworking travel job allows you to sell holidays, flights, cruises, and tours from your own home. You’ll act as a travel consultant, helping clients plan and book their trips, while being supported by a host agency that provides:


  • Access to ATOL and PTS protection
  • Booking systems and supplier contracts
  • Ongoing training and mentoring
  • Marketing support and resources


The difference between this and a standard job is that you’re building your own home travel business. That means greater flexibility, no commuting, and the potential for unlimited earnings.


Why Choose a Homeworking Travel Job?


  1. Work-Life Balance
    You choose your own hours, whether part-time around family life or full-time as a career.
  2. Low Overheads
    Unlike a shopfront agency, you won’t have expensive start-up costs. All you need is a laptop, phone, and Wi-Fi.
  3. Unlimited Potential
    Income is commission-based, so your earnings grow with your effort and sales success.
  4. Work Anywhere
    From your living room, a café, or even abroad — homeworking travel jobs give you the freedom to work wherever suits you.
  5. Support & Training
    With 
    The Independent Travel Consultants, you’re never alone. From supplier introductions to marketing guidance, we’re with you at every step.

The travel industry is booming again, and January remains the busiest month for holiday bookings. Starting a homeworking travel job now means you can be trained, onboarded, and fully prepared for the January sales peak.


By the time clients start planning their summer holidays, you’ll be ready to secure bookings and build momentum quickly.


How The Independent Travel Consultants Are Different


While many companies advertise homeworking travel jobs, our approach is unique:


  • No Joining Fees: We believe in accessibility, not barriers.
  • Full Protection: All bookings are covered by ATOL and PTS.
  • Collaboration: Consultants shape the brand, not just follow it.
  • Inclusive Community: You’re part of a network that shares advice and celebrates success together.
  • Tailored Training: We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re new to travel or an experienced agent, we train you for success.
