Most travel agents give out brochures for ideal destinations when you visit their offices. However, most research for travel is now done online, which does add a new amount of ease for looking up information regarding your trip. If, though, you still want the travel brochure in hand, you can print off a copy from your computer without ever stepping foot in a travel agency.
Create a Travel Website
Exhibit an ongoing record of your adventures by creating a travel website and share your journeys with your friends and family or the entire world. Whether you just want to share your travels or you want to make money from your site, design and content are important for keeping your visitors long enough to view your entire site.
Install Load Leveling Bars in a Travel Trailer
When towing a travel trailer, using load-leveling bars is critical for safe travel. Load-leveling bars, usually referred to as weight-distribution bars, balance the weight of the travel trailer and spread the weight more evenly upon the hitch system of your towing truck. You can find many different types and models of weight distribution bars, and each installation may be slightly different depending on the model and manufacturer of your bars.
Keep Luggage Cockroach-Free
No traveler wants a cockroach infestation as a souvenir. It happens, however, because cockroaches live almost everywhere. According to the University of Rhode Island's GreenShare program, America houses about 50 different types of cockroaches, which is nothing compared to the almost 3000 species in the world. In order to prevent cockroaches from infesting your luggage, you must cut off their food supply and use diligent methods to prevent a serious cockroach infestation.
Get an Independent Contractor Travel Agent ID Card
The lure of discounted travel and the opportunity to work from home have led many to consider entering the travel industry as an independent contractor and obtaining a travel agent ID card. Some companies who were more in the business of selling "travel agent kits" than selling cruises and tours promised heavily discounted travel to anyone who purchased their package and flashed the provided ID card proclaiming "I'm a travel agent." In reaction, the travel industry instituted many restrictions to eliminate these "card mills" and now only recognizes select ID cards. However, for anyone who is serious about a career in travel, you can get an independent contractor ID.
