The tricky part is that in order to work with suppliers, you must have an International Airlines Travel Agent Network IATAN , Cruise Lines International Association CLIA or an Airline Reporting Corporation ARC number.

Luckily there are some great places that offer affordable education and training options to get you started. Do you know Disney inside and out? The Travel the with Magic Program is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner that specializes in Disney destination vacations.
