Full Job Description

Are you looking for a fulfilling way to turn your passion for exploring new places into a flexible, work-from-home business? We are seeking a self-motivated, enthusiastic individual to step into the role of independent Travel Coordinator .

In this fully remote opportunity, you will learn the ins and outs of the travel industry, discovering how to help clients seamlessly plan and book everything from custom cruise itineraries and luxury all-inclusive resort vacations to family Disney trips and international getaways.

This position is designed for individuals who value freedom and flexibility. You have the power to choose your own hours and establish a schedule that fits perfectly around your current personal or professional commitments—allowing you to build a successful side business or a new career path while still prioritizing high-quality time with your family.

Why Our Mentorship Makes the Difference

No prior background in travel planning is required because we provide comprehensive training from day one. We know that launching a business can feel overwhelming, which is why you will never do this alone . You will have direct access to:

• A structured onboarding check-in list to keep you on track.
• Step-by-step training outlines and digital tools.
• Active, ongoing personal mentorship from an experienced agency owner who has successfully balanced a full-time career with building a thriving travel business. You will get the exact blueprint, guidance, and community support needed to grow your business with absolute confidence.

Please Note: Because this is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity rather than traditional W2 employment, there is no fixed hourly wage or base salary; your income is entirely performance-based. This structure gives you unlimited, uncapped earning potential tied directly to your dedication, work ethic, and booking success. We frame this opportunity as an investment in your own future, providing you with the software, licensing, and vendor relationships needed to launch successfully.

• Continuous Learning: Participate in remote training webinars, supplier seminars, and team mentorship check-ins to continuously sharpen your industry knowledge.
