Commission that you are giving away to someone else. 

As an Independent Travel Agent, you can tap into these hidden earnings by booking travel for others or even for yourself, opening the door to extra income while enjoying the flexibility of working on your terms.

Our teams testimonials

The Travel Addition team member Paramjeet

Paramjeet

Pharmacist, Birmingham, UK

“I started booking travel for family and friends and now have clients approach me on instagram! At first it sounded like a no brainer but I did wonder if it would be worth the initial investment /monthly payments. I can safely say yes! 

The money i've made has allowed me to reduce my hours working as a pharmacist and work from home spending more time with my children, which is priceless.

I've shared this incredible business with family and friends who are also benefitting. I've had access to amazing training sessions including destination, social media and mindset!


Biggest commission to date -

£783.15 (this was a massive win I also managed to save my client £7,733 vs the online price) 

Favourite holiday -

It used to be exploring but since having kids I prefer a relaxed beach holiday.”

Works in local Government in ICT, South Wales, UK

I wanted an additional income and to run my own business. I love to travel and saw a great opportunity to do both at the same time. I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner – I’ve been missing out.​

The support within the team is amazing and getting started was really easy. There is lots of free training which can be completed in your own time and no pressure in terms of sales.

I love that you can you do as little or as much as you like and make an extra income by simply booking travel for your friends and family. ​

Biggest Commission to date -

My first booking I earned £600 commission. That covers my fees for the year and a little left over.​

Favourite holiday -

Everything! From city breaks, to cruises and beach holidays - hence my reputation for always being on holiday.

The Travel Addition team member Emma

Emma

Full Time Mum, Newcastle, UK

I wanted to be more than just Mum and find something for me again after losing myself having kids whilst benefitting from something I was already doing.

I now have the self worth I lacked for years, a growing income, a financial legacy to leave to my children and a much needed purpose on top of being a Mum. I adore helping men and women reach their life and financial goals in an industry that’s thriving and so damn fun. The best bit - I fit it in flexibly around my life and kids. Anyone who is not a part of this business is very much missing out.

Biggest commission to date -

£670 on our trip to the Bahamas and this was after finding it £2000 cheaper with our suppliers than I could find elsewhere.​

Favourite holiday -

A city break with lots of wandering, but I would go back to Thailand or the US in a heartbeat.

Meet Nimmy

I realised this was an incredible opportunity to earn commission on holidays.

As a full time Mum I was keen to do something for me again, but with 3 children now used to me at home, I couldn’t commit to going back to my previous job as a dentist with set days and hours.

I now book for friends and family when I have pockets of time around my life and kids.

I love that there are no minimum bookings or hours you have to work.

It’s so easy to set up and the free training and support from our travel community is fantastic.

My only regret is that I didn’t start sooner!

Driving the Pacific coast highway in California with my family this summer. This was one of my bucket list trips and was absolutely fantastic!

Frequently asked questions

  • If you have been speaking to one of our team members already they will be able to direct you in how to join the team.

    Alternately if you don’t know anyone from the team fill out the form below or on the contact page here.

  • When you book a holiday, there’s commission included in the price. Normally, this commission goes to whoever facilitates the booking. If you use a search engine, they get the commission.

    If you go through a travel agent, it goes to them. Even when booking directly with a hotel, cruise line, or airline, they keep the commission.

    But by joining this platform as an independent travel agent, you can keep that commission for yourself.

    As a registered independent travel agent, you gain industry status, meaning you’re recognised within the travel sector and able to earn commission directly.

    You can book travel at very competitive rates. You’ll have your own booking portal to use with our top suppliers, letting you make direct arrangements with hotels. This gives you a range of booking options and flexibility.

    As part of the industry, you’ll also have access to exclusive hotel affiliate programmes.

    This platform essentially allows you to earn on travel, while gaining industry recognition and enjoying all the benefits that come with it.

  • There are so many reasons to do this, but mainly because it just makes sense!

    Many of us used to book directly through hotels or popular travel sites, unaware that every hotel or holiday includes built-in commission—money that goes to someone else. Now, with this platform, we book the same holidays but keep the commission for ourselves instead of letting faceless websites have it. We’re still doing the same searching and booking, but now we get paid for it.

    I’ve always loved travelling, and now I can do it even more often. It’s flexible, so it fits around work and family commitments easily. And it’s rewarding—giving you something new, whether that’s extra income or simply a new interest to explore.

  • We are partnered with our host agency who have nearly 40 years experience in the travel business and are the largest home based travel agency.

    LEARN MORE

    We have many industry house hold names as well as wholesalers and business to business providers so we are in great company.

    We also have access to a separate marketing business which allows you to share the travel business with other people through your personal affiliate link and benefit from a very generous compensation plan, producing a residual income.

  • Every booking will be different but standard commission is between 10% and 15% (sometimes more!) and once you have done your initial mandatory training you will be paid 70% - 80% of those commissions with the other 20% - 30% going to our host agency less a few fees. This is the highest commission split in the industry and the earning potential is uncapped which is amazing. Commission is not paid on non commissionable elements, taxes or credit card fees.


    Regarding tax - everyone will have different financial circumstances so we always advise you to check with your own financial advisor or accountant for your personal circumstances.

    You start declaring tax once you earn over £1000 in commission - whether that's on things that you book for yourself on a commissionable rate or anything you book for others where you earn commission. You’re not employed by anyone. You’re buying a franchise for your own business so all earnings would be for your own self assessment.

  • When you join your licence allows you to book and sell holidays in the UK (or if not UK based then within your own relevant territory). This means you can contact any hotel worldwide and request a commissionable rate. It can be in the UK or anywhere in the world. It can be for 1 night or 1 month. If it falls under the travel umbrella it's more than likely that we can book it.

    You can book:

    • Hotel or flight only

    • Package holidays

    • Weekends away/city breaks

    • Private homes

    • Cruises

    • Honeymoons

    • Activity days

    • Glamping

    • Boutique hotels

    • Ferries

    • Airport lounge passes and airport parking

    • Car hire

    • Cottages and lodge

    • Ski holidays

    • Villas

    • Lapland

    • Disney

    • Theme park tickets

    • Train and theatre breaks

    • Afternoon tea

    • Rail holidays

    • Shore excursions

    • VIP meet and greet

    • VISA services

    • Travel insurance

    • Small group tours

    It’s a very long list and remember this can be just for yourself or you can book for anyone else.

  • No - none at all. We will give you everything you need to know to get you set up correctly.

  • There is no time limit or pressure for you to get the initial regulatory training done or for it to be done within any certain amount of time but it will take approximately 2 or 3 hours in total.

    Most people spread it out over a couple of afternoons or evenings. Some people speed through their training and book within a couple of days and others like to take their time to really get to know the systems and processes in depth before they feel comfortable to start booking.

    In the US the training requirements are different and in fact less than for agents in the UK as there are different licence regulations so it's even quicker to get set up. There is a simple video course you review, with basic quizzes after each YouTube-style short video, in total less than two hours of viewing.

    You are only required to view that course and read our training materials, which you can do in a few hours at home. However, you will get access to many online courses, live events, respected industry courses and other training resources if you choose to make use of them.

  • You have immediate access to your own booking system but need to complete the mandatory training first. Our team of experienced agents will help you through this stage. Once that is done you will be licensed to book and sell holidays straight away.

  • Absolutely not - many of the team have little or no social media presence and have built their businesses around family and friends.

    Everyone loves to travel and we all know one person who knows another person … Word of mouth is a powerful thing and personal recommendations are the best way to grow your business.

    Once you book for a friend or family member, social media follower or work colleague the chances are they’ll tell their friends and family. This is how you’ll get new and repeat business. You also have more of a network around you than you realise - colleagues, school mums, hairdressers, gym friends, running partners etc.

    We also have advice as to how to build your customer base and find clients.

  • Yes! There are no targets or quotas, so it’s easy to fit this around a full-time job or family commitments.

    What makes it great is the flexibility—it’s entirely up to you how much time you spend.

    You can work as little or as much as you like, whenever it suits you. Many of us with busy lives find small windows of time throughout the day to research hotels, send quotes, or browse our suppliers in the evenings.

    Most agents have demanding jobs; we have pharmacists, doctors, teachers, hair stylists, business owners, and more who fit this around their careers.

    If you’d like to help others get started, the process is straightforward and quick.

    For parents, it’s perfect to work on while the kids are at school, with the freedom to pause whenever needed. Just a warning—it’s so enjoyable, it can be a bit addictive!
