Become a Goldgell Getaways Travel Agent!
Do you have a passion for travel, are a professional, business-minded self-starter, with a drive and dedication to providing top-notch service, just as you would expect from someone helping with your vacation?
Then you may be a great fit for our Goldgell Getaways team!
Is it Worth Being a Travel Agent?
Anyone can get online and book a flight or a couple-night hotel room, but travel agents can provide unbiased travel expertise you are unlikely to find anywhere else. Plus, travel agents will have exclusive offers, promotions, and incentives clients wouldn’t have access to when booking on their own. One of our favorite sayings is that the internet is for looking, a travel agent is for booking.
What Does a Travel Agent Do?
As a travel agent with Goldgell Getaways, you are trained to be an expert in selling vacations such as Disney, Universal, cruises, all-inclusive resorts, tours and so much more. The vacation and hospitality industries are large, and most travel agents choose an area of expertise within travel and vacations to focus on. For example, if you want to sell only Disney vacations you may do so, but if you only want to sell cruise vacations you may also do that!
Goldgell Getaways agents are able to offer clients a travel experience with exclusive benefits, premier pricing, and great service that consumers wouldn’t be able to acquire on their own.
One of the greatest rewards is bringing joy to people by helping them create lifelong memories via travel.
Another important aspect of becoming a travel agent is creating a vacation experience that is as stress-free as possible. We are there for our clients before, during, and after their vacation. Booking online won’t give clients that type of support.
Life happens, even when on vacation. So, when problems arise, we are there to assist our clients in every way possible.
For some clients, this is a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, and they may have saved for a long time to do it. As a travel specialist of Goldgell Getaways, you are representing the company as a whole. We ask that you are kind and friendly, while at the same time, you have to be professional and serious.
Is Being a Travel Agent Hard?
Once you join the Goldgell Getaways Team, there is a lot to learn at first. Each new agent is assigned a mentor to help guide them through the process. We have Goldgell Getaways specific training in addition to training for each area of travel you wish to learn and sell.
You will need a good sales personality. Although most clients are eager to book a vacation, you still have to be a ‘salesman.’
We will help you learn about Disney destinations and all other vacations & destinations around the world, but you need to be active in your community and social circles so you have a group of people that already know you and that will want to plan their vacation with you.
Being a Goldgell Getaways travel agent does take a lot of work. While the majority of our agents do this part-time, the hours and effort you put in are all up to you.
Can You Work From Home as a Travel Agent?
Fortunately, you can easily become a home-based travel agent with Goldgell Getaways. You’ll be able to work from anywhere in the world and follow your dream of selling travel.
How Does a Travel Agent Earn Income?

Goldgell Getaways Travel Agents earn commissions from sales of hotels, resorts, cruises, travel insurance, and more. As with any commission-based opportunity, the more you put into your business, the more you can make.
How Do You Get Clients?
Goldgell Getaways travel agents get clients as they work hard to promote themselves in their community and in their personal networks. Some clients come from expected places, like friends and family, while other clients pop up unexpectedly through word of mouth or online advertisements.
Travel agents promote themselves by using a combination of traditional and digital marketing to get more clients and increase sales. Start with people in your personal network. Ask friends and family for contacts. Connect with individuals on a personal level. Use word-of-mouth marketing. Promote your business on social media like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
