Group travel agents coordinate trips for clubs, families, and organizations. Higher volume and block space can mean stronger commissions and a clear, scalable niche.
Group travel is different from booking one couple. You’re managing numbers, room blocks, payments, and sometimes special requests—and when it works, one group can mean dozens of travelers and meaningful commission in a single shot.
Why groups are rewarding. Volume. One church, alumni group, or family reunion can fill a bus or a ship. You become the point person they trust for the next trip. Group rates and block space can improve your margins. The work is more project-based and organizational, which suits some agents very well.
What you need. Organization, clear communication, and patience with timelines and changes. You need a platform that can handle multiple travelers and payments, and a host that gives you access to group-friendly suppliers. Many agents start with one small group and grow from there.
Next step. If you like the idea of coordinating trips that bring people together, start as a travel agent with a host that supports group bookings and keeps your commissions so you can scale.
