The survey outlines the current landscape of U.S. travel advisors based on responses from more than fifteen hundred professionals, most of whom are home based independent contractors working as owners or managers. The respondents skew older and predominantly female, with many running long established agencies while a large share of home based advisors are relatively new to the profession. The report explains that the data reflects trends among engaged industry participants rather than a statistically representative sample, but it still offers insight into how advisors operate, where they work, and how long they have been in business. Overall, the survey provides a snapshot of a profession that continues to shift toward home based, independently run agencies while maintaining a substantial base of long standing traditional businesses.
