About Modern travel Agent
A Modern Approach to Becoming a Travel Agent
Modern Travel Agent is an independent contractor program designed to help people build flexible, meaningful careers in the travel industry.
It was created for aspiring and existing travel advisors who want clear guidance, realistic expectations, and ongoing support, not just access to tools and suppliers. Our goal is to help advisors learn, grow, and build with confidence, backed by real experience and a trusted agency.
Meet Chris
Chris has been part of the travel industry since 2009, starting his career as a travel advisor and learning the business from the ground up. Over the years, he experienced the same challenges many agents face, learning how to grow, how to market effectively, and how to build something sustainable in an evolving industry.
In 2018, Chris stepped into the role of Director of Marketing at Modern Travel Works, where he helped strengthen the agency’s brand, reputation, and advisor support. Through this work, he discovered what he enjoys most: coaching, educating, and helping others succeed.
Today, Chris serves as the primary guide behind Modern Travel Agent, working directly with advisors who are exploring the industry or looking to take their business to the next level. His approach is practical, honest, and rooted in real experience.
