About the role
Independent Travel Advisor (1099 Subcontractor)
Location:
Remote / Work from Anywhere Type: Independent Contractor (1099) — Set Your Own HoursAbout the Opportunity We're looking for self-motivated, detail-oriented Travel Advisors to join our network as independent subcontractors. This isn't a 9-to-5. You set your own schedule, build your own client base, and run your business your way — while we provide the tools, training, vendors and support to help you succeed. If you love travel, enjoy helping people plan unforgettable trips, and want the freedom of being your own boss, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do:
- Consult with clients to plan and book personalized travel — flights, hotels, cruises, tours, and full itineraries
- Research destinations, pricing, and travel options to match client needs and budgets
- Build and maintain relationships with clients for repeat and referral business
- Stay current on travel trends, entry requirements, and supplier offerings
- Handle bookings, confirmations, and any changes or issues that arise before or during travel (access to over 75 vendors)
- Grow your own client base through networking, referrals, and marketing (support provided)
What We're Looking For:
- Passion for travel and genuine interest in helping others plan great trips
- Strong communication and customer service skills
- Self-discipline and the ability to manage your own time and workload
- Comfortable working independently with minimal day-to-day supervision
- Basic computer skills; comfortable learning booking platforms and CRM tools
- Prior travel industry or sales experience is a plus, but not required — training provided
Why Work With Us:
- True flexibility — work full-time, part-time, or as a side business, on your own schedule
- Be your own boss — you control your hours, your clients, and how you grow your business
- Uncapped earning potential — commission-based, so your income grows with your effort
- Training and support — onboarding, ongoing education, and access to a community of advisors
- Travel perks — access to industry discounts, familiarization trips, and supplier partnerships
- Low startup cost — no need to build the infrastructure yourself; we provide the platform
CompensationCommission-based (1099 independent contractor). Earnings are uncapped and based on bookings and sales volume. No base salary — this role is best suited for self-starters comfortable with commission-based income.
How to Apply:
Interested candidates should send a brief note about their interest in travel and any relevant experience, through LinkedIn. This is an independent contractor position, not an employee role. Advisors operate their own business under a subcontractor agreement and are responsible for their own taxes, schedule, and business expenses.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
