Why 2026 Is the Best Time to Start a Travel Business (Even If You’ve Never Done It Before)
Something is exciting about 2026.
A fresh start. A new chapter. A shift in how people want to live, work and travel.
More people than ever want:
-
Flexible income
-
Work-from-anywhere options
-
Freedom from the 9–5
-
And more meaningful family time
And the travel industry is perfectly positioned for it.
If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could start something of my own…”
2026 might just be your year.
Here’s why.
1. Travel Demand Has Never Been Higher
Since 2022, global travel has surged — and it’s not slowing down.
Families are travelling more.
Couples are travelling more.
People are prioritising experiences over possessions.
And the holiday market continues to grow.
This isn’t a trend.
It’s a shift in how the world spends its money.
2. People Want Real, Personal Travel Support Again
Travel sites are overwhelming.
Comparison sites are exhausting.
Hidden fees are everywhere.
People want:
✔ recommendations they can trust
✔ clarity
✔ financial protection
✔ a real person to speak to
Becoming an Independent Travel Advisor gives you the opportunity to offer something the big websites can’t — a personal, human experience.
3. You Don’t Need Experience — Just Curiosity and Support
You don’t need:
-
Travel qualifications
-
Prior business experience
-
Tech skills
-
Years of knowledge
You need:
-
Guidance
-
Training
-
A supportive team
-
A system to follow
Everything else grows with you.

5. More People Want Flexible, Family-Friendly Businesses
2026 is the year of:
-
Choosing flexibility
-
Prioritising family
-
Working around school hours
-
Creating income that doesn’t rely on someone else’s schedule
A travel business is one of the few industries that genuinely supports that lifestyle.
6. You Grow at Your Own Pace
Whether you want:
-
A few hours a week
-
Holiday savings
-
Extra monthly income
-
A full-time career
You’re in control.
No targets.
No pressure.
No hours to clock.
Just a clear path — and support when you need it.
7. It Could Change Your Life More Than You Expect
It’s not just about earning money from travel.
It’s about:
-
Confidence
-
Community
-
New opportunities
-
Freedom
-
And doing something for you
Sometimes the smallest decision — like joining something new — leads to the biggest changes.
