How To Become A Travel Agent In South Africa & Subjects Needed
Are you looking for a way to become a Travel Agent in South Africa and you don’t know the subjects needed or even universities in South Africa where you can undergo the course? If yes, then this informative article is for you. You will be given detailed information about how to become a Travel Agent in South Africa, Universities and Subjects Needed.
What Does A Travel Agent Do?
Travel agents or travel consultants assess individual’s and business people’s needs to help them make the best possible travel arrangements, which includes booking flights, hotel rooms and car rentals. They may specialise by type of travel, such as leisure or business, or destination, such as Europe or Africa.
They also promote travel packages on behalf of cruise lines, resorts and specialty travel groups. Some travel consultants have extensive knowledge about various countries geography, weather, history, language and customs. They also advise clients about passports, travel insurance, visas, vaccinations and tours.
A travel consultant may perform the following tasks:
- Helping clients to find a suitable package holiday or to plan independent travel
- Checking the availability of the chosen holiday by telephone or computer
- Making bookings using a computer system
- Collecting payments and filling in booking forms
- Contacting clients when their tickets arrive
- Informing clients of any changes, such as cancelled flights, and arranging alternatives
- Networking with tour operators
- Displaying promotional material.
What Qualifications Do I Need?
There is no formal qualification required to become a travel consultant, though employers generally prefer hiring staff with a Travel and Tourism Diploma or a related qualification. Some travel consultants start by working at a travel agency and receive on-the-job training, and are sometimes required to write an exam at the end of their first year of employment and training.
Opportunities for on-the-job training are fairly limited, with most companies employing people with some training and experience. A National Senior Certificate is usually a prerequisite for studying travel and tourism courses.
It is important to receive training at a THETA-accredited institution and be licensed by the Travel Agents Board. Travel consultants also need certification from the International Air Transport Association to be able to issue international airline tickets.

Contact each institution for their specific requirements, but these subjects are recommended:

Starting a travel agency in South Africa can be a rewarding and exciting business venture, but it’s important to be well-prepared and understand the industry before diving in. Here are some steps to help you get started:Research the market: Understand the current state of the travel industry in South Africa, including popular travel destinations, types of travelers, and trends. Research your competition and identify gaps in the market that your agency could fill.
Develop a business plan
Outline your vision for the business, including your target market, services offered, and projected financials. A well-written business plan will help secure funding and attract potential partners and clients.
Obtain the necessary licenses and permits
In South Africa, reputable travel agencies must be registered with relevant associations such the South African Tourism Services Association (SATSA) and Association of South African Travel Agents (ASATA), and have a valid operating license. Additionally, you may need to register your business as a legal entity, such as a private company or sole proprietorship.
Build relationships with suppliers
As a travel agency, you will need to work closely with airlines, hotels, car rental companies, and other travel suppliers. Building strong relationships with these suppliers will help you negotiate better rates and provide your clients with a wider range of options.
Create a website and establish an online presence
An attractive and user-friendly website will help you attract potential clients and showcase your services. Additionally, establish a presence on social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, to reach a wider audience.
Network and market your business
Attend travel industry events and networking opportunities to connect with other professionals in the industry and promote your business. Leverage word-of-mouth marketing by providing excellent customer service and encouraging satisfied clients to recommend your agency to friends and family.
Continuously educate yourself and your team
The travel industry is constantly changing, so it’s important to stay informed about new destinations, trends, and regulations. Encourage your team to attend industry conferences and workshops to stay informed and improve their skills.
Experience required to start a Travel Agency in South Africa
While there is no specific experience required to start a travel agency, having relevant experience in the industry can be beneficial. Some of the experience that can be helpful when starting a travel agency include:
Travel industry experience: Having worked in the travel industry previously, whether in a travel agency, tour operator, hotel or airline, can provide valuable knowledge and insights into how the industry works, as well as important industry contacts and relationships.
- Sales and marketing experience: Running a travel agency requires the ability to market the business and sell its services to potential customers. Having experience in sales and marketing can help you develop effective strategies to promote your agency and attract clients.
- Customer service experience: A travel agency needs to provide excellent customer service to ensure that customers are satisfied with their travel arrangements. Having experience in customer service can help you understand how to meet the needs of customers and handle any issues that may arise.
- Business management experience: Starting and running a business requires a wide range of skills, including financial management, strategic planning, and team management. Experience in business management can help you develop the skills necessary to successfully run a travel agency.
- Knowledge of travel destinations: Having knowledge of popular travel destinations, their cultures, customs, and attractions can help you provide valuable advice and recommendations to customers.
It’s worth noting that while having experience in the travel industry can be beneficial, it is not a requirement to start a travel agency. A combination of passion for travel, business acumen and a willingness to learn and adapt can also be a recipe for success.
Reasons to start a Travel Agency

- Helping others: A travel agency can help people make lasting memories by planning and organizing their trips. It’s a rewarding business in which you can make a positive impact on people’s lives.
It’s worth noting that starting a travel agency can be a challenging and competitive industry, with many established players in the market. But with the right approach, a well-executed business plan and a deep understanding of the market, starting a travel agency can be a rewarding and successful venture.
Starting a travel agency in South Africa can be a challenging but rewarding experience.
