The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* How to Start a Home Based Travel Agency by Tom Ogg, Joanie Ogg,
* Start Your Own Specialty Travel & Tour Business by Entrepreneur Press
* Start Your Own Travel Agency by Adam Starchild
* Home-Based Travel Agent, 5th Edition by Kelly Monaghan
I also posted links to some free articles in the source box.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

From what I understand there is a good travel agency where you own it, but it is online and since the internet is taking over, you may want to take that route.

Why would you want to? The internet is putting agencies out of business every day.

get your travel agent licence, and work for another agent for a few years, then once you know what you are doingand have a few regular customers, set out on your own
