Business travel agents manage corporate trips, meetings, and travel policy. Steady demand, higher volume, and recurring client relationships make this a stable and scalable niche.
Corporate and business travel is less glamorous than leisure in the brochure—but it’s reliable. Companies need someone who can book flights, hotels, and meetings efficiently, stay within policy, and fix problems when things go wrong.
Why business travel is a strong niche. Volume is consistent. One client can mean dozens of trips a year. You’re not chasing one-off vacations; you’re building ongoing relationships. Many agents start with a few small businesses or executives and grow from there. Tools and automation matter, so a modern platform is a real advantage.
What you need. Organization, responsiveness, and an understanding of how business travelers actually work—early flights, last-minute changes, loyalty programs. You don’t need a corporate background; you need to be reliable and easy to work with. Training on corporate tools and preferred suppliers helps.
Next step. If you like the idea of steady, repeat business and clear value to clients, explore becoming a travel agent with a host that gives you the tech and support to serve business travelers well.
