TRAVEL IN LUXURY AROUND
THE WORLD...FOR FREE!
Gregory Gopman
Do wish to see the world? 	

Do you not have millions of dollars? 	

That is perfectly alright	

How are these two questions related you may ask	

Traveling the world without spending all the money in your
family’s bank account is as simple as becoming a travel advisor
Becoming a travel advisor is hard work and not for everyone but
it has countless perks and priceless positives	

Luxury travel advisors traverse the world attending meetings,
expositions, events, and more on a regular basis	

This is not becoming a travel agent and being transactional and
sales oriented, but instead working directly with other travelers
on a more personal basis and sharing your experiences to
enhance their vacation
Virtuoso CEO, Matthew Upchurch has been quoted in saying
“Travel advisors manage your most valuable, non-renewable asset:
your leisure time,” and “I’ve never seen people go from zero
dollars to a million-dollar book of business in such a short
amount of time.” 	

Upchurch went on to say that travel advisors bridge the often
overwhelming gap between a salesperson and the vacationing
party
Although you will be able to attend ritzy parties, swim in areas
considered uncharted to most, and eat foreign delicacies from
around the globe, being a travel advisor is a full time occupation	

The position comes with a lot of responsibility and work but is
rewarding, exciting, and educational at the same time
STEP ONE:
Contact a host agency close to
where you currently live	

Also feel free to reach out to
companies like Virtuoso for an
informational interview	

Stay up to date on travel publications
to stay informed on the industry	

Travel Pulse, Travel Weekly, and
Luxury Travel Advisor are great picks
DON’T EXPECT IMMEDIATE
FINANCIAL RETURNS:
Becoming the best in the field
may take some time	

Over the course of your first
year you will grow your business
as much as you want to put into
it	

Most advisors see their work
really paying off in their second
year
UNDERSTAND YOU’RE IN
SALES:
You must be willing to put
yourself out there in front of
people and sell yourself	

You must be able to deliver all the
right information to clients and be
able to blow them away with your
knowledge and experiences	

You will also develop personal
bonds with clients to have them
coming back time and time again
CREATE YOUR NICHE:
There are tons of people who have
been to Paris or Tokyo but how
many can say they've been to a rare
private island in the South Pacific? 	

Find where you can make the
biggest impact and attract the best
clientele	

Become a guru for your specific
field and you’ll be sure to be
successful for anyone looking for
specific trips
BE PERFECT:
Planning trips properly isn't always easy	

Sometimes problems come up and you
need to readjust	

Becoming a successful travel advisor is
about knowing all the details	

One must know all the little things and
be able to change their plans on a dime	

Having all the information will show to
your clients and they'll have a smooth
vacation
-Gregory Gopman
