IATAN Refines It's Program for Home Based Agents

The IATAN Advisory Board has endorsed the recommendation to lower the financial investment criteria for home-based agents from US$25,000 to US$10,000 at a meeting held on May 9th. The Board assessed that professional agents operating from their homes need less financial investment than agencies with store front or corporate locations.  The decision recognizes the growing trend of professional agents working from home.  To ensure integrity in its program, it has added a requirement that agency’s gross travel income and sales cannot comprise more than 15% of personal and family related travel.
