My questions is :
1.If i open the homebasedtravelagency in Illinois, and i want to get a more customers from other states for air and sea, or make a group,or student group.i need register my homebasedtravelagency to be able to do it with any one state who requared the state registration,right ? In other way if i dont have this registration with them,i can't get the customers from those states.....
2.For International Travel Licening Or Permit For HomeBasedTravelAgencys ...What is means this.......? Could you give me the answer in details please and sent me the link from where i can take this International Travel Permit.
*Without this permit in United States I can't Sell The Airline Tickets From Chicago To Madrid ,or Cruises In Europe,or Vacations From Usa to Other Country.What is the way to do it?
3.If I want sing-up with the one of the big suppliees like Apple Vacations with one of them programs that they have like co-branded website with booking engine(them web site only with a my name and agency on the top),and i sell online them products on my web site i need to have some permits or licenses to do this or they already have and i not needed ?
(If I not need nothink to take for my homebasedtravelagency,to sell them products is means that i not needed to do the registers for six states who requared a License.
4.If I want to take the booking engine or co-branded website with Travelocity.com i need to have some permits or licenses to do this or they already have and i not needed?
Thank you so much and i will waitng for your answers!!
Hi Venetka,
Check out the Business.gov article Starting a Travel Business. It provides information about licenses and permits. For specific information about partnering with other companies, I strongly advise you to contact those companies directly, as they would provide you with the best way to get this done. The article also explains what credentials you need for a travel agency and tips for marketing your business. To operate your travel agency in other states, use the Permit Me Tool to find out which licenses and permits are needed for each state.
I hope this helps!
