Given the popularity of business and recreational travel, there are many opportunities today to work as a travel agent, or to pursue another career in the travel and tourism industry.

The United States Department of Labor reported a median annual earnings of $30,570 for Travel Agents in 2008.* In addition to the attractive salaries, many people are interested in this field because of travel benefits such as reduced airfare and discounted hotel rooms.
