I am also with Traverus and am in the UK,so in answer to earlier posts this is excellent to work from anywhere.
I was a travel agent for 12 years prior to deciding to stay at home to be with my boys but I also wanted to be able to still do what I love,which is sell travel.
Traverus has agents in 96+countries and growing.
Support,training and access to a multitude of courses is also excellent.
As for selling travel and building a team of agents,its win-win.
If you had asked me at my storefront agency years ago would I be happy working for a set salary or would I like to be able to earn commissions on travel and also on a team of fellow agents ,what do you think I and my co-workers would have said?!
I love this company and how it offers you the ability to sell a highly consumerable product and earn real residual income.

Wow so many options posted here, right?
How do you know if one opportunity is better than the other?
I know each and every one of the opps listed and of the two
YTB vs Traverus, I would recommend YTB. They have many income streams, they are very professional, and the pay comp is best.
As someone said the brick and mortar focus on selling travel as opposed to YTB/Traverus BUT there sre so few brick and mortar "real" travel agencies out there the majority or the trend I am seeing is that the agencies who claim to be travel agencies are really focused on recruiting. Reason being its hard to compete for the travel dollars against expedia and sites like that so they make their money recruiting.
When choosing figure the outlay of costs and what the possibility of earnings are. That may shock you!
As to how soon you will be in profit? depends on your marketing expertise, but be prepared for the worse scenario you may not be in profit for a long time so when you part with a big chunk of money make certain you can live without it for a while.
As to Global Resorts vs Coastal vacations, both require a huge outlay of cash! AND remember 1ups and 2ups are hard because giving up one to two sales at first hurts after putting out several thousand dollars !!!
Coastal has a binder full of vouchers and cards and some people find it inconvenient to have to fill out forms mail them in, wait and than send more money and wait etc.
Global claims to have resorts everywhere yet there were several places we wanted to go they did NOT have a resort available.
I sold 3+ memberships in Global, know what my commission was?
ZERO! I asked why and was told the sales did not fall in the right geneaology!! So be careful with this one folks regardless of all the hype I see on this board wth the super duper sponsors promising you all but to give you money to get you recruited in the end its all up to you, are you really ready?
I can tell you from years of experience with all the above the real money makers are not really the above opps. I found a much better way and am much happier now!!
There are better ways to really make a good steady income!!
And if recruiting is not your thing than there are better opps.
Just my honest and humble opinions based on my years of experience. No hype, just honesty how refereshing is that??

I agree with Adam and Viola! I'm also with Coastal. I love it and we have such a great team. Just a few things that I really like about Coastal. It's NOT an MLM, you don't have to constantly ask family and friends or trying to build a huge dowline to make money. Travel is a great industry to get into! Our lowest commissions we can earn is $1000. It's an investment, but you have to look at what you can earn.
Before we started Coastal, my husband and I looked into several other Travel Businessess. We decided that this would be best for our family. Even on a consumer side it saves our family LOTS of money when we vacation!!
I wish you the best and much success on whatever decision you make!!

I apologize in advance for the long post, but having spent a lot of time researching travel business opportunities, I think it is fair to share some of the knowledge I have gained.
As Warranties4Less (Mike) said, if you want to be a genuine travel agent, there are host agencies that don't have anything to do with recruiting and purely focus on being a travel agent. Quite often, you can sign up with these companies for no cost at all. So, why look at programs like Traverus and YTB that say you don't have to recruit and can be just a travel agent, but still charge you a fee?
In one posting, someone stated that Traverus pays the highest commission - 70%. I know of at least one travel agency that focuses on travel (not recruiting agents) and pays out 80% of the agency commissions (including all overrides). And you don't have to pay to be a CTA. You get your training, both technical and marketing, for free. One other thing that you'll discover is that having an Agent ID card doesn't mean anything to the travel vendors. What they look for is a CLIA or IATA number (whether it is your own, which you earned, or the hosting agency's). If you want to be a dedicated travel agent, then find a good host agency and focus on that.
In term of the other programs, I'll touch on them briefly. Coastal Vacations. This program seems like it's been around forever. When you join, you get a booklet/binder of certificates. Be wary. Many of these same certificates can be obtained on the Internet and eBay for very cheap. Also, these certificates often require activation fees, reservation request fees, booking fees, taxes, government fees, etc. What you think is a free trip rarely turns out that way. There are also many cases of people having problems with these certificates and a simple Google search will reveal those.
Over the past year or so, other programs have become popular. Many of these Coastal Directors have now joined other travel programs like Global Resorts or Platinum One, either as another in their portfolio, or completely moving over. The funny thing is that many of these same people (who were successful at Coastal) are now telling people that the certificates at Coastal were not that great, but that didn't seem to stop them from promoting them before.
From a basic level, programs like GRN promise huge savings if you become a member and book at their resorts. If you research the resorts, you'll find that most, if not all of them, are timeshare resorts. As others have posted, they've asked about specific resorts and they weren't available probably because they aren't timeshare resorts, or they didn't have rooms from those resorts. Admittedly, some of the deals aren't bad, but if you are flexible in dates, there are websites that allow you to deal directly with timeshare owners at many of the same resorts. Quite often, you can negotiate pricing that is comparable and can even be better than the GRN price. In some popular areas (for example, in Cancun), it may cost you more to get a room at the same resort that GRN has available, but you may be able to get a better price at the resort next door.
What I'm basically trying to get at is before you sign up with any program, do your research. If you want to be a dedicated travel agent, don't sign up with a business opportunity program, sign up with a travel hosting agency that is dedicated to training travel agents. If you want to save on travel and realistically only travel a couple of times a year at most, are you really going to save yourself that much money by paying thousands to join a program? You can probably find yourself good deals without joining any program.
As with any business, do your due diligence. Don't get caught up in the hype and think things through. Good luck.

I am experiencing alot of success with Global Resorts. It has a great stand alone product and great pay plan, $1000 for each and every sale that you bring in. Than you use an automated system to do all your telling and selling for you.
thanks

Interesting,
Even in a recession, I see many are still interested in travel industry, so the appeal of travel exists, even if the dollars to travel don't. Of course, I am speaking from U.S., so recession is impacting us more than most due to dollar collapse, so world travel is tanking.
Reading through this thread, and having been a former travel agency, I thought I had seen it all, but I must admit, the concept of Travelencia is quite an interesting twist in the industry, they are addressing the affordability issue which is more important than ever in a recession.
In addtion, for those who need assistance with building their business, just like with a few other high ticket travel deals, there is a support and sales center to handle prospects. No doubt, the bases are covered when you enter business through Unselfish Wealth, which is what the newbie to network marketing really needs to break through the paying out stage, and get into profit almost immediately.
Like all travel deals, dollars and sense matter, so you have to research them all carefully first before you decide. With the entry cost being the largest obstacle for most, this has to be affordable for everyone if you want to see long term success. With most at $400.00 to $600.00 to join and up to $80.00 per month, and since most of these costs goes into commissions for recruiting, the majority will never recoup there investment, and this is why we see so much attrition in the industry.
Travelencia is only $50. plus $19.95 per month, and given the low entry point, and the mass appeal, the attrition will be tremedously less than industry average which is sadly 97% failure rate. Imagine if you had a program that would force those millions to succeed?
That is how I see Travelencia, the travel program for the masses, and with Unselfish Wealth system to assist everyone to get into profit, I see this as a winner, and I have seen them all over the years. Being affiliated with travel company takes all the hassle out of business, it is more of a travel club than being a travel agent or cosultant like most of the others are structured where commissions are for recruiting, and very little of income is from booking actual travel.
To each there own, but I think Travelencia has the right concept for most people who have always wanted to get into travel industry, but don't have the thousands all the others require. For $50. plus $19.95 a month, you have the same guaranteed lowest travel deals all the rest have access to, plus a personal assistant, similar to the old days when you had travel agent handle all details, except now you get paid to refer others to travel memberhip, and everyone can do this, where most cannot sell a $600.00 travel deal, never mind the ones for over a thousand.
Best of all, who can afford a luxury vacation these days, expecially if you wanted to travel outside of U.S. with collapse of dollars value. I remember just the opposite in Germany where dollar was worth 3.54 marks and a luxury meal was $7.50 U.S. lol It is just the opposite now, so price is indeed on everyone's mind these days, with most reducing their travel plans, if not eliminating them. Travelencia has up to $5,000.00 interest free no credit check financing, something I wish I had back when I owned a travel agency. Combining attractive finance terms to accommodate your travel costs is a very powerful option for travel industry, and I have no doubt it will drive this program to the moon in a recession, never mind when we finally come out of it. Best of all, with passive effort, most will be able to cover their vacation payments with commissions earned, so this will minimize attrition, and when you can accomplish this in any MLM, you have hit a grand slam.
Good luck to all,

I am a Certified Travel Agent with TraVerus Travel Network. I was with YTB and switched to TraVerus because TraVerus pays 70% to 90% commissons (RTA - 70%; CTA - 90%).
I also liked the highly discounted TraVerus Member trips.
My experience has been very positive. My experience with YTB was also positive, but it made sense to make the switch due to the higher travel commissions.

You are able to receive your CLIA and IATA card with Traverus. Here's a great video presentation of the Traverus Opportunity: http://www.slideshare.net/ant13planet/traverus-travel-presentation/ . Traverus just keeps on getting better!! Commissions went UP! Now they start at 75% for CTA. SIGN UP PROMOTION EXTENDED UNTIL JULY 14. Price is $99.95 for RTA . July 14 will go up to $199.90. While going through training I never knew that travel agents were able to get such GREAT deals on travel and even get some FREE trips! Traverus is now in CHINA! After listening to the Presidents update calls and learning where Traverus came from (even where the name originated) and where we're going..... I'm so glad I decided on travel and I'm so glad that the Traverus opportunity was presented to me. Good luck All!!
