The Difference - Why We Provide a Better Opportunity A variety of barriers have prevented people from becoming part of the lucrative travel industry in North America. Soaring start-up costs, bonding fees, industry association fees and certifications, operating overhead, storefront expenses – these are just some of the challenges that have faced individuals, prior to the establishment of the TPI program. In addition, the proliferation and affordability of current technology [cellular telephones, e-mail, internet, etc] has diminished the requirement for customers to visit a storefront travel agency. If you are looking to enter the industry, TPI makes ownership accessible and more profitable. Our business model is a significant shift and improvement from typical travel agency approaches, where start-up costs can range from $80-140,000, and commissions earned beginning at the bottom of the scale. In contrast, total capital requirements for your TPI travel business are $8,900-$12,900 – an investment of approximately 80-90%! And due to our significant buying power and growing sales volumes, you will receive one of the highest commissions available anywhere in the travel industry. Following are some of the cost savings you’ll enjoy with TPI. These costs become an ongoing part of our commitment to your travel business.   Traditional Travel Agency   Travel Professionals International 1. Retail space-ongoing rent Not required 2.
