If so, you may be the perfect candidate to turn your passion for the theme parks into a lucrative career.

Here is why—and how—to launch a career as a Universal Studios travel agent. 

Why Universal Studios?

Each year, 10.75 million visitors flock to the Orlando location of Universal Studios alone, making it the fifth most popular tourist destination in the United States. With attractions like Revenge of the Mummy, Volcano Bay, and Islands of Adventure, the Orlando location is packed full of unique rides and attractions. Universal Hollywood is the home of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Super Mario World, and multiple 3D ride experiences. 

Both locations have on-site hotels and resorts as well as other nearby parks and attractions. You can help your clients stay on-site or book them a nearby hotel and assist them with transportation. You can also provide a full experience for your clients by helping them secure express passes to the park as well as give advice on the right time of year to visit and how long they should stay.
