Why Becoming a Travel Advisor Is One of America’s Fastest-Growing Careers
How Faith, Freedom, and Adventure Are Creating a New Kind of Work-from-Home Life
Watch This Video before you DIVE IN!
If you’ve ever dreamed about working from home, helping others, and still getting paid to explore the world, this might surprise you. According to LinkedIn’s Jobs on the Rise 2025 report, the role of Travel Advisor is now the #5 fastest-growing job in the United States, especially for home-based professionals.
Let that sink in: travel advisors, often called travel agents, are back in a big way. Not because people forgot how to book online… but because they realized how much they need someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
What the LinkedIn Report Says
LinkedIn Jobs on the Rise 2025: The 25 fastest-growing jobs in the U.S.
The LinkedIn News team recently released its annual “Jobs on the Rise” list. And right behind AI engineers, consultants, and physical therapists — sits Travel Advisor.
Travel advisors help plan and book travel arrangements — including transportation, accommodations, and activities — based on clients’ preferences and budgets. Even better, about a quarter of all travel advisor positions are remote — meaning you can do this work from anywhere with Wi‑Fi, a laptop, and a passion for helping others.

What Travel Weekly and ASTA Are Saying
Travel Weekly recently highlighted this same trend in their article “Interest in Becoming a Travel Advisor Is on the Rise.” The American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) confirms it — new advisors are joining faster than ever before.
ASTA is training and supporting new advisors through verified programs and partnerships, such as its initiative with Florida International University’s Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management. They’re not just filling jobs. They’re building a new generation of professionals, equipped with faith, ethics, and skill.
The Path to Becoming a Travel Advisor
• Join a host agency (e.g., InteleTravel) to gain access to software booking systems, training, and commissions.
• Get certified through ASTA’s Verified Travel Advisor (VTA) program. Training is provided through Inteletravel Host Agency.
• Learn to market yourself using tools like Canva, social media, and AI.
• Keep learning, attend virtual trainings, webinars, and supplier sessions.
The Crazy Old Fart’s Take
When I first heard “travel agent,” I thought it was outdated, too. But then I realized, what we really do as advisors isn’t just booking trips. We design experiences that change lives.
In a world where everyone’s tired of 9-to-5, where people crave freedom but fear the unknown, being a travel advisor gives you both. Freedom to work your own hours. Adventure through the eyes of your clients. And the satisfaction of helping others makes memories that matter.
Final Thoughts
If AI engineers are shaping the future, then travel advisors are shaping its soul. We bring people together, open minds, and remind the world that connection still matters. If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could travel more, work less, and still help people,” this is your moment.
