I would like to start selling travel on the side - become a travel agent - do I need to gain some sort of registration or certificate? If so how do I go about it?

Louise answered:

Registration and certification varies by province as well as country. In Ontario, travel agencies must be registered with TICO - Travel Industry Council of Ontario www.tico.on.ca. individuals working as travel agents/travel counsellors do not need to be registered or certified at this time. Formal training is highly recommended as the career of a travel professional is very complex, one may visit our site www.travelcollege.ca.

An individual may choose to sell travel as a home-based agent however one needs to be associated with a registered travel agency to earn commissions from travel suppliers. Proper training is extremely important for home-based agents as they must abide by the governing laws (refer to TICO) and due to the complexity of the business.
