The days of commuting to a high street agency are behind us. In today’s connected world, the rise of
home-based travel agencies has transformed the way holidays are sold and booked. Whether you’re dreaming of a side hustle or building a full-time business, starting a
travel agency home based gives you the flexibility, freedom, and financial opportunity to shape your career around your life.
At The Independent Travel Consultants, we’ve created a model that removes the barriers—no joining fees, no hard sales, no pyramid schemes—just a genuine opportunity to build your own brand, with support at every step.
What Is a Home-Based Travel Agency?
A home-based travel agency is exactly what it sounds like: a travel business run from your home. As an Independent Travel Consultant, you act as the expert, helping clients plan, book, and protect their holidays. Instead of renting a shop front, you operate entirely online or over the phone, using a secure booking system with access to hundreds of suppliers.
What sets you apart is the personal touch—you offer advice, insights, and support that travellers simply can’t get from booking sites.
Why Choose a Home-Based Travel Career?
There are dozens of reasons why people are turning to the homeworking model:
✅
Total flexibility to work around your family, lifestyle, or another job
✅
Low start-up risk (no joining fee with us)
✅
Access to over 200+ trusted suppliers
✅
80–90% commission on everything you book
✅
Full training, no experience needed
✅
Recognition, rewards, and a supportive community
Unlike multi-level marketing travel models, we don’t expect you to recruit others or upsell unnecessary extras. You just focus on creating incredible holidays.

"When I started The Independent Travel Consultants, I knew I didn’t want to build another cookie-cutter agency model. We’re here for the people who’ve been overlooked. For those who want a real career in travel but don’t want to buy into hype, hard selling, or huge upfront costs. We offer the freedom to succeed your way—with training, trust, and a true sense of community."
