February 17th, 2026 – Peoria, AZ – With 2026 upon us and travel continuing to be one of the most sought-after careers for entrepreneurs, the Ogg Family is excited to share the latest version of “How to Start a Travel Agency.”

 

This book, originally created in 1999, has undergone many updates over the past 25 years. However, this recent edition has been completely rewritten from the ground up. So much has changed with technology, new trends, and the way travel professionals are running their businesses that it was imperative to start from scratch and truly provide accurate information to readers in the modern era.

 

Readers will not only be able to create and grow their travel agency but also dive deep into the process of promoting their business through utilizing AI and the various platforms that have shown true success for Travel Advisors in 2026.

 

 “When I first wrote “How to Start a Home Based Travel Agency” in 1999; the thought of running a successful business from your home was an entirely new opportunity. Today, I am absolutely awed at the success I have seen from Travel Professionals who have read, understood and applied the information in this title. It has been one of the greatest pleasures in my career to provide content like this newly released version to empower and assist individuals looking for a successful career as a Travel Advisor.” Shared Tom Ogg, Author and Co-Owner of the Ogg Brands.
