Why First-Hand Destination Training Matters When Becoming a Travel Agent...
By The Good Travel Franchise · 26 February 2026

Discover how real destination experience and overseas training help travel agents build confidence, credibility, and stronger client relationships.
This could be you...
Becoming a travel agent today involves more than learning systems and suppliers online. First-hand destination experience is invaluable when helping travel agents build confidence, credibility and trust with their clients.
At The Good Travel Agent, we believe real-world training — including overseas destination immersion — gives agents a deeper understanding of the holidays they sell and the experience their clients receive.
That’s why this year we’re launching our first overseas training experience, taking 20 of our agents to Cyprus in partnership with easyJet holidays and Atlantica Hotels.
You could experience this alongside your fellow Good travel agents as a fantastic opportunity to build your network, whilst getting to enjoy the best parts of any abroad experience.
This isn’t a holiday. It’s a destination immersion.
By experiencing the resort, service and destination first-hand, agents gain the confidence and credibility needed to advise clients properly, something that’s invaluable when starting or growing a travel agency.
Alongside destination experience, agents will also take part in an exclusive in-resort training session with Jake, CEO and co-founder of The Good Travel Franchise, focused on building a sustainable, independent travel business.
For anyone considering becoming a travel agent, whether as a career change or as an experienced professional, this kind of hands-on training and ongoing support makes a real difference.
