About the owner

Written by Karl Valas

I am Dianne Tuttle, CTC

and the Owner and Qualifier of Academy Travel and Academy Travel School, which I founded in 1989.  I have over  30 years of experience in the travel industry and also hold a Federal Bond with the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC). I work closely with all cruises lines and tour operators and makes recommendations for vacation packages my clients. I raised $200,000 in private capitol to start my first travel agency. I am the administrator of Academy Travel School founded in 1990 to teach people how to become professional travel agents and start their own home-based travel agency. I also plan, write and produce my own local TV show, “Let’s Talk Travel” on public access channel. I  hold positions on the Board of Directors on Commission on the Status of Women, reporting directly to County Board of Supervisors, and secretary on  SLOCOPA TV show, a non profit organization, and I am  former President of Optimists Club, past Ambassador for the local Chamber of Commerce for 9 years, and  I am  the founder and director of Travel Connections & Social Club. I am also a travel consultant for Gerson Lerhman Group and Goldman Sacks.
I have been in the travel business since 1979!  WOW!  That is a long time!  I got hired right out of college with American Express and stayed there for 7 years.   I have an AA degree from Foothill College and in 1984 received my CTC degree.

Started my agency in 1989

along with my travel school, teaching people to be professional travel agents since 1989 and still teaching today!  The travel school is now taught via a virtual website and I can train anyone who can access the internet right from my desktop to their laptop.  I believe in the one-to-one hands-on training approach.  Once signed up they get the Galileo Icon on their desktop and everything is taught in live time.  They learn what a fare rule is and understand what makes them.  Along with teaching about tours and cruises and actually calling and making bookings so they are prepared for the real client when they graduate from class.
I was a million + in air ticket sales back in early 90's.  Well we all know what happened then.  So I closed for a year and was in my bedroom wondering what I was going to do when I grow up!  at the tender age of 50.  So I restructured  and reopened with leisure travel and $5.00 in my pocket.
I started a Travel Club.  Using my travel club to run free press releases inviting people to join me for dinner once a month and 10 years later have over 1,000 on my email list.  I plan social things to do during the month and plan group cruises and tours.  We have been all over the world together.  I also offer to help find roommates for those who don't want to pay the single supplement.
I then decided to look into TV.  So now I host "Let's Talk Travel" on my local public access TV station in town.  I invite my sales reps on to talk about their cruise lines or tour companies or invite someone who has been on a fabulous trip and would like to share it with my audience.
I am starting a "grass roots" effort to put the "professional" back in travel and in travel agents!  And why the public should look to a professional travel agent to handle their leisure travel.
So join me and my effort!  Call me I can share with you on some of these things I have done over time!

I have now added to my business building by having a once a month dance for my travel club.  I found a venue in town to hold the dance, hired a great band, putting out press releases all over town and posting on FB, Twitter and LinkedIn about the dance.  I also use a different non profit organization each month to donate all the proceeds to.  I take the check to them get my picture taken handing them a check and get it into the  local newspaper.  What better advertising can you ask for free!

Home Business more

Written by Dianne Tuttle

Your Home-Based Travel Agency

Succeeding as a home-based travel agency means using "guerilla tactics" to beat out the glitzy storefront agency down on Main Street.  And what better way to do that than to bring the "travel agency" to your customers' homes instead of forcing them to come see you in your "office".  For many home-based travel agents this is the kind of "differentiator" that wins them loyal customers.

You may want to use your home to host a "cruise night" when you are promoting cruises or have a Hawaiian-theme  party to promote great deals on a vacation in the islands.

The travel industry is a "$4 trillion dollar industry" and you can be part of that.  People are making real money in this industry.  Whether you want to work part time you can earn as much as $500 (or more) on every sale.  That's not pocket change, that's a serious commission. Full-timers are supporting themselves and their families.  A lot of them are seeing more of the world that they every dreamed of seeing before.  A few of them are making very good money indeed, over $50,000 or more!  Even the "American Society of Travel Age (ASTA) recognizes that home-based travel agents are the wave of the future.

Becoming a home-based travel agency is easy. The problem is knowing what kind of home based travel agency to be.  There are probably many ways of being a home-based travel agency and no one does it exactly the same.

Booking Agents

Are usually attracted to the idea of becoming home-based travel agency because they love getting involved in all the details of planning wonderful trips, across the country or around the world.  Or perhaps they have developed some expertise in a particular destination or type of vacation or mode of travel, calling it "niche" marketing yourself.

Anyone who is halfway serious about pursuing a career as a full-fledge home-based travel agency -- even on a part time basis -- will very quickly qualify for the "IATAN card".  This is the Rolls-Royce of travel agent photo ID cards and it can be used to get all the discounts and privileges world wide to all agents meeting the earned income commission.

One of the greatest things about the opportunities available to home-based travel agencies is that this is not a one-size-fits-all or all-or-nothing proposition.

Booking Agents can:
  • Work only occasionally to find great deals for themselves and a small circle of friends
  • Work just enough to earn themselves one or two great vacations every year
  • Work as home-based travel agency on the side, in addition to their regular jobs
  • Work part time basis to earn a respectable second income

Whether you work just occasionally or put in a 60-hour week exactly how you work is totally up to you.  You are completely free to concentrate on the destinations, activities or modes of travel that excite you.  There's no one to tell you what to sell, where to sell it, to whom to sell it or how to sell it!

The key concept is that you are independent.

Think about that a moment.  It means that you are your own boss.  No one can tell you what to do or how to do it.  You control your own destiny.  Your success (or failure) is entirely your responsibility.

If that scares …. Well, maybe this isn't for you.

If that excites you, congratulations!  You have what it takes to be a success as a home-based travel agency!

Although you are independent and on your own, you are never alone as a home-based travel agency.  You must constantly work with others to provide service to your clients.  Virtually, every home-based travel agency must form a relationship with a host agency.  The host agency must be ARC approved with affiliations with a consortia and other travel industry organizations.

As a home-based travel agency you will need:

A host ARC approved agency that offers the ICON for your desktop

A contract with your host agency

Understand the nature of your relationship with your host agency

What you will receive:
  • IATAN card with your earned commissions
  • Get the travel industry discounts and benefits to which you are entitled
  • Take tax-deductible cruises while you learn the business
  • Receive FREE training and seminars from travel industry
  • Enjoy tax benefits of a home office

Benefits You'll Receive with the Home-Based

Ongoing Telephone and E-mail Support

We'll provide you with ongoing telephone support to answer your questions and help you through any problems you might have.  One of our agents will be personally assigned to your account to assist you.

Apollo Icon

With the Apollo system, you're equipped with a comprehensive set of tools that help you manage every aspect of your business.  The people of Apollo are committed to providing you with support and help your agency needs.  Have access to your own United Airlines Apollo reservation system Icon on your own computer.

Ticket Printing Services

ATC will print your airline tickets for you so you don't need expensive ticket printing computers and software
