Help for persons wanting to start a travel/tour business

This book is a very good place to begin researching this field. The author(s)don't cover it "all", however, its an excellent overview of the independent travel agent option as well as the independent tour operator choice. Once you've completed this informative book you should know if you are suited for these types of travel career, which route is the better personal fit and would meet your work needs, and what aspects of travel agent/tour operator you want to research in greater detail. Unlike the comments of at least one previous reviewer, I can assure you that it doesn't take "millions" to start either type of business. Start-up costs can be quite modest for someone who is willing to start small and grow. I know of a couple in my state who started a small adventure tour company marketed to families and after only 3 years are able to support their own family on the income. I was pleased with what I learned from this book and confident in my recommendation.
