"Hi everyone, I'm Russ Handler, travel expert. And did you know that a tremendously vast majority of travel that is booked these days is done online? If you're thinking about opening a travel agency, consider doing it in the comfort of your own home. It's pretty simple, just do a search on the internet on how to get going in the travel industry, and you'll get tremendous opportunities out there. But I want to let you know that many of the opportunities that you will get will definitely require an up front fee. It will also require a monthly maintenance fee, and in many cases, some of these plans out there are multi-level marketing. Now, if you're uncomfortable with that, don't do it. In many cases you will have the option to just be a licensed travel agent, and accept commission on the travel that you book, which is a great idea. And then, it'll also give you the option to be a multi-level representative. But, if you're just looking to get in the travel business and earn a little extra income by booking travel for friends and family, definitely go with just the licensing fee and the small up-front fee. In some cases you don't even have to pay that up-front fee for licensing. I'm Russ Handler, and that's how you do it."
