What does it really take to turn a part-time travel business into a full-time career?
Join Host Agency Reviews and Cruise Planners for an inspiring conversation with franchise owners Autumn Thurston and Laura Zuluaga, who each took a different path to building a successful full-time travel business.
Just 2.5 years ago, Autumn was working as a firefighter when she invested in a Cruise Planners franchise. Her business grew so quickly that she made the leap to full-time sooner than expected. Laura, meanwhile, launched her Cruise Planners franchise in 2019 while earning six figures in a senior management role in real estate. She built her travel business part-time before recently transitioning to full-time.
In this webinar, we’ll explore both journeys and the lessons behind them, from getting started in the industry and choosing the right business model, to scaling a thriving book of business and knowing when it’s time to go all in.
Whether you’re new to travel and considering a host agency, or you’re an experienced advisor ready to take your business to the next level, you’ll walk away with practical insights on what it takes to grow with confidence.
You’ll hear real-world insights on:
- How to build while working another job
- When to know you’re ready to go full-time
- What support matters most as you grow
