💼✈️ WORRIED ABOUT WAITING FOR YOUR COMMISSION? HERE’S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER… ✈️💼

If you’re considering becoming a self-employed Personal Travel Agent, one of the questions we often hear is:

💭 “But how long will I have to wait to get paid?”

Well, 2026 has been and continues to be a year driven by late bookings, and that can make a real difference.

📊 In September, 30% of the bookings confirmed by our Personal Travel Agents were for travel within just 3 months.

That means for a significant number of bookings, the commission could be generated much sooner than you might expect, potentially putting those earnings in your hands well in time for the Christmas shopping! 🎄🎁

Of course, commission timing depends on the booking and when the travel takes place, but the current booking patterns are certainly interesting if you’re thinking about making the move into travel.

🌟 Could becoming a Personal Travel Agent be your next chapter?

If you’d like an informal and confidential chat about the current travel market, how our business works, the support available and what it’s really like to build your own travel business, we’d love to hear from you.

📅 Our November training course is already filling up VERY quickly!

There’s no pressure and no obligation - just a confidential conversation to see whether it could be right for you.

✨ MEET OUR HOMEWORKER BOARD ✨

At The Personal Travel Agents, we believe our homeworkers should have a voice in shaping the future of our business. 💙

That’s why we’re incredibly proud of our Homeworker Board. A fantastic group of our Personal Travel Agents who help influence our business decisions, strategies and future direction.

Each member serves a two-year term, bringing their own experiences, ideas and perspectives to the table. They add amazing value, ensuring that the voice of our PTAs is heard and helping us continually improve the support, opportunities and experience we provide. 🙌

🤝 Democracy is one of the core values of The Personal Travel Agents, in partnership with Travel Coop, and our Homeworker Board is a brilliant example of that value in action.

At this quarter’s meeting, we were delighted to be joined by Barut Hotels, who showcased their stunning collection of hotels across Türkiye 🇹🇷✨

It’s just one of the many opportunities our Board members get to connect with incredible travel partners, share knowledge and bring valuable insight back to our wider PTA community.

💙 Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be part of a travel business where your voice genuinely matters?

If you’re considering becoming a Personal Travel Agent and would like to find out more about how we support, develop and listen to our PTAs, we’d love to hear from you.
