Nominate Yourself! Are You a Successful Travel Consultant Under the Age of 30?

If so, you may end up starring in a Travel Agent magazine cover feature

 

 

UPDATE: Submission Deadline Extended to September 25!

A number of newcomers to the travel agency community have made it big. They’ve succeeded in launching lucrative careers because they’ve used their entrepreneurial skills to approach the art of selling travel in ways that generations before never thought were possible.

Many have also succeeded because they’ve had great mentors in the form of their agency owner, manager, or consortia head who have shared their vast expanse of knowledge with them.

Travel Agent is looking for 30 of these individuals.

Age, however, is not the only qualifying factor. To be a part of this exclusive section, you must be able to detail the  achievements that you feel have made you a successful travel consultant.

Here’s how it works, in five easy steps

1. Only you can nominate yourself. Provide us with your name, agency, agency location, e-mail and phone number....and your age.

3. Provide us with a 100-word endorsement from your agency owner/manager or consortia head (if you own your own business). Include the name, title and email of endorser.
