Did you know that you can turn the tables on travel agencies? Instead of paying them for your vacation, get them to pay it for you! As a group travel organizer, you can travel the world for free! This article explains. By Thomas Carroll You can travel the world for free by becoming an "outside agent" or "group travel organizer" for travel agencies. Travel agencies usually have a wide range of domestic and international tour packages available. These tours typically last from 10 to 14 days, with groups of about 10 to 30 people for each tour. Travel agencies constantly need people to sign up for their tours and most heartily welcome any help they can get recruiting new tourists for their services. When you put a travel group together for the agency, you can receive a free (all-expenses-paid!) vacation. You can visit travel agencies directly, or locate them through Internet searches. Contract with them for a free trip in exchange for securing a group of people to sign up for a tour with the agency. For example, for a cruise, you will need maybe nine to 15 people to sign up with the agency for you to travel for free. Make sure you find out exactly how many people you need to sign up for the tour so you can travel at no charge. Also ask if the tour will cover your airfare, and get all details related to the tour. Dates, times, schedules, costs, food, accommodations, transportation, sightseeing, etc. Ask the travel agent if he or she can supply you with brochures or flyers with your name, phone number, and email address, to hand out to potential sign-ups. When putting a group together, talk to friends, relatives, and co-workers. Visit churches and organizations with your travel proposal. Post and hand out your flyers to everyone you can. Send emails to everyone you know, and ask them to forward the message. Let all of the friends you have on social sites like FaceBook.com know about the trip. You may even consider placing small classified ads in newspapers for more leads. Write an article about the tour's destination and offer it for free to newspapers, magazines, blogs, and websites as long as they include your contact information. Giving travel presentations is another great way to get people to sign up for the tour. Your church, retirement organizations, veterans groups, Kiwis, American Legion, and Rotary Club are all good places to give your presentation. Provide refreshments and have plenty of flyers on hand. Your home is another place where you can hold presentations. Invite family and friends, and ask them to invite their family and friends. You can speak about the tour, show a video, or have a travel agent that represents the agency give the presentation. Once your group is organized, collect deposits from each member as required from the agency. This ensures that the people are serious about going. Most deposits are refundable up to a certain date as prescribed by the agency, so little or no risk is involved for your group in paying deposits. Then make sure that each group member gets a travel voucher and knows the departure date, time, and location. You go with the tour group for free, and when you get back home, you can do this all over again to have another all-expenses-paid vacation. Do this as often as you like to go anywhere in the world for free.
