✈️ Start Your Travel Business: What is a Homeworking Travel Agent?

A homeworking travel agent is someone who books holidays, honeymoons, cruises, weddings abroad (and more) — entirely from home. Or a beach bar. Or a football pitch sideline while your kid’s at training. Anywhere with Wi-Fi, really.

You’re not tied to an office or a high street shop. You run your own business under the umbrella of a host agency (like Medlife Homeworking), which gives you the tools, supplier access, and support you need — without having to go it alone.

It’s flexible, scalable, and, let’s be honest, a little addictive once those commission payments start rolling in.

Here's the biggie: traditional agents often work fixed hours in shops or call centres. Homeworking agents don’t.

You choose when you work, how much you earn, and what type of clients you want to attract. Fancy selling luxury Maldives escapes? Go for it. Prefer focusing on family Disney holidays or all-inclusive deals? You can do that too.

At Medlife, you’ll have access to a full suite of tour operators, cruise lines, hotel wholesalers, and booking systems— just like a regular travel agency, but without the commute or office drama.

Let’s talk money. Because yes, you absolutely can earn a full-time income from this — and then some.

Here’s how it works:

• You earn commission on every booking (typically 10–15% of the total holiday cost paid to the host agency)

• You keep 80% of that commission with Medlife Homeworking

• You can also earn extra commission on airport parking, hotels, excursions, transfers, wedding extras, etc.

So if someone books a £4,000 family holiday, Medlife receives approx. £600 (15%). You keep £480 of that.
Now do that 10 times a month... You get the idea.

Nope. You don’t need to have worked in travel, have sales skills, or memorise every airport code.

At Medlife, you’ll get full access to our Travel Agent Academy (included in your setup), one-to-one support, a 30-day launch plan, and training in things like:

• Finding clients without being salesy

• Growing your business on Instagram and Google

• SEO, email marketing, and automation (yes, we teach actual 2025 skills)

Short answer? Everything.

• Package holidays

• Flights, hotels, cruises

• Multi-centres

• Airport extras (lounges, hotels, parking)

• Transfers, excursions, tours

• Weddings abroad & honeymoons

• Group bookings, hen/stag weekends

Whether it's two weeks in Turkey or a barefoot wedding in Rhodes, you’ve got full access to book it — backed by TTA membership, 100% financial protection, and ABTA-level standards.

This isn’t affiliate marketing or flogging discount codes on TikTok. This is a legit business with recurring clients, long-term income potential, and the freedom to brand it your way.

You’ll get your own website, booking system, email marketing platform, marketing materials — the whole lot. You’re not just a travel agent. You’re the CEO of your own travel business.
