Distributors receive the following (www.mlmlegal.com) opportunity:
Starting at $125, our Independent Travel Agent program includes complete start up and training. Travel is one of the fastest growing segments on the Internet. New technology has allowed independent travel agents to access computerized reservations systems (CRS) through the Internet from their home. As a home based travel agent and a member of the Prestige Travel Network, you can begin enjoying commissions income, travel benefits and an independent lifestyle working right out of your home or office on a part-time or full-time basis. The choice is yours, but whatever your expectations, we want to help you make them a reality.
Many people are attracted to the travel business because they want to experience the excitement of the travel industry, gain additional income and qualify for travel benefits. In order to accomplish this, some people pay $50,000 or more to purchase a retail travel agency to obtain nearly the same income potential and benefits that you can have with a home, office or web based agency affiliation with Prestige Travel Systems to become a travel agent and operate your own independent travel business.
