Answers to Your Questions

 
Travel Agent Questions

We expect that you will have many questions about starting your very own home based travel business with Centre Holidays.
We welcome your questions and look forward to helping you in this exciting career move.

Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions that we receive.

 
When did Centre Holidays startup?
Centre Holidays opened in 2003 but only introduced its home based agent program in 2009.

Where is Centre Holidays corporate office located?
Centre Holidays is a Canadian based company and its corporate office is located at 243-2155 Leanne Boulevard, Mississauga, Ontario L5K 2K8.

How many travel agents do you currently have employed?
We currently have over 100+ travel agents across Canada.

Do I need any travel experience to join?
No, you do not although it would be helpful if you did have some experience.
As long as you are dedicated and willing to learn, we are willing to take you on. *Note: All agents are required to be TICO certified in order to sell travel.

What does it cost to start up and are there any fees?
We have various options for you to choose from and we are willing to go over each of them with you if you give us a call at 905.823.8805, 1.888.823.8801 or
contact us online.

Are there any hidden fees such as to mail tickets, credit card transactions, cheque and invoice charges?
There are no other charges. This is all covered in the commission split.
Host agencies that continue to nickel and dime you to death do not have a solid business model or foundation.

Is this a viable business? Isn’t everybody booking online?
The simple fact is that everyone is NOT booking all their travel on the internet. In fact, studies conducted by the travel industry have shown that most people will use the internet to do basic research and then book with a real person, either a travel agent or a reservationist at the supplier. Your clients can book on the internet and save through you. Yes, you receive a full online agency for those who wish to book online.

Centre Holidays is the best business choice because it offers you, the agent, both options. Some clients will choose to book online while others want the face to face contact.

Do you have quotas?
We ask that you do your best and dedicate as much time to selling travel.
if you wish to to grow your home based business and earn the maximum,
you will want to sell as much as you can.


Is training covered in the initial fee?

As long as you are an agent with us, we will provide initial and on-going training. Our goal is to support you every step of the way so that you can turn your home based business into something profitable.


Do you have incentives?
Yes we do. We offer incentives for those who produce. Some examples are owning your own IATA card that will bring about tremendous savings in Travel. CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) certification that opens a whole new world of cruising to you, FAM trips and more.
*Note: All application fees are to be paid for by the agent.

Can I choose my own hours?
As a home based agent you can choose to work full or part-time. You can work as many or as little hours as you wish but we do ask you try and dedicate atleast 20 hours a week. Over time you will notice that as your client base grows your hours may change to revolve around them.

When do I get paid?
Commissions are paid monthly. We can deposit straight to your account or mail you a cheque.

“Don’t take it from us, here is what our travel consultants are saying…”

"My wholehearted appreciation to Centre Holidays for giving me the opportunity to sell travel. Head office has always been there for me any time I need them, yet they have never interfered with anything I am doing. It is gratifying to know that I can depend on my manager, Donna Hutchinson, for her invaluable assistance with any questions that I may have. Furthermore, Donna went out of her way to book travel for my clients when I was unable to do so during my recent operation.
Thank you, Donna, once again for your support.

Because of Centre Holidays' knowledge in the travel industry they have consistently made extra efforts to help me in completing and making sure my bookings go smoothly, and for that I am truly grateful.

Though, I am relevantly new at being a home based agent my commissions have been wonderful. As an example, two clients of mine went on a safari to South Africa. My commission for just that one booking was over $800.00. Not bad for a home based agent – eh? Therefore, because of all of the above, I look forward to many more years with Centre Holidays."
