Connie George Travel Associates is owned by a 29 year industry veteran. Connie George, CTC operates a home-based agency with independent outside agents ("Associates") located around the country. She knows the in's and out's of having both a store-front ARC agency as well as home-based, and is ready to share any expertise which may help her associates. 

Travel agents should be able to earn money while also enjoying their work. We sell vacations... cruises, tours and packages. These are the sales where the fun and money are at!

Some associates have chosen to work with a special niche, while others prefer to handle a broader scope of vacation travel arranging. The choice is your's!

COMMISSIONS

It's very simple. You earn half of what the agency earns. If you work with many of our preferred suppliers which pay us a higher commission, you earn more! Sound good?

Having been an outside agent for another agency for a short time, Connie learned the hard way that some agencies make you beg and wait for commissions. That doesn't happen here. No groveling! No long wait! Upon your client's return from their trip, you can complete an online form in minutes which e-mails to the agency. In most cases, your commission will be sent within one week. If the supplier is paying the commission to the agency on a credit card sale after the trip, your commission will be mailed as soon as we receive it. We want your money in your pocket as soon as possible!

TRAVEL BENEFITS

You want more out of this than just money, right? If you sell a group, you are free to take advantage of any earned free trips that come with selling that group. We also pass along information on many trips discounted for travel agents!

SUPPORT

Connie is only an e-mail, phone call or fax away. She's trained many agents over the years and is happy to assist you when needed. We also have a dedicated private associate area on our website which is used to support our associates.

FEES

We have a one-time $200 sign-up fee. You will receive a CLIA Cruise Manual, a minimum of six training and destination video tapes, and a binder with various sales materials. 


INSURANCE

Our associates are required to have Errors and Omissions insurance. This is for your protection. If you chose to purchase this on your own, you will find it to be expensive. However, a rider can be added to our insurance for your coverage for only $100 per year. If you join us mid-year, the cost will be prorated. 

REQUIREMENTS

We require our associates to have internet access and e-mail capability.
