An Essentials Course for New Travel Agents
Welcome to the Travel Industry
Pursue Your Passion & Choose Your Vacation Expert Sessions
When you join The Paper Ticket as a new travel agent, you’re not left on your own to figure it out! This virtual training has everything you need to know to start your own travel business. We’ll walk you through the start-up of your agency and give you the foundational knowledge of an expert travel advisor so you’re ready to start with confidence immediately.
Customize your “Welcome to the Industry” training program – Pursue Your Passion & choose your Vacation Expert session (or sessions!) to combine with the Essentials Course covering three general themes that all New Travel Agents should know – Travel Industry Basics, Travel Agency Red Tape, & Selling Vacations.

You’ll get a world of information in small bites along the way with accompanying hand-out materials. Follow along as new lessons containing nearly 100 hours of content are released regularly for 3 months. Watch on your schedule and use our daily “Office Hours” for follow-up. You’ll enjoy a mix of visual presentations with some listen-only podcast-style sessions. Conversations with your peer group and scheduled measurements throughout the journey will keep you accountable – and we’re always available for one-on-one support!
