YTB is a REAL business, ranked number 35 of largest travel agencies 2006.

Update!! Travel Weekly Powerlist 2008 shows YTB moved up to #26 in largest travel agencies for 2007.

(See article below.)

YTB is ranked number 11 in booking leisure travel for 2006.

YTB is a publicly traded company which means they are under the scrutiny of the SEC.

YTB owners and directors get actively involved in the success of its Independent RTA's by seminars, mentoring and providing marketing tools.

YTB offers a fully automated website that includes back office accounting. No credit card processing, no record keeping. Even persons that consider themselves not Internet savvy can do this business.

Also travel education is offered by the company, much of it for free. There is no one path for a person to take in YTB, there are MANY.

YTB is EXCITING AND FUN.

Small to medium sized business owners, do you or your employees travel often? Do you award trips, sport or event tickets for employee recognition? Or need to cut costs on company travel?

Wedding Planners, Could you make arrangements simplier for couples by offering one-stop wedding planning that includes travel & bridal registry?

YTB A Real Path to Success 

So You Want To Get Into the Travel Biz?

Perhaps you are faced with choosing the right business with so little time. While juggling secular work or other responsibilities. Researching the opportunity and taking initiative to educate oneself will empower you to make the right choice for your life. It all starts with a dream, a plan and taking action.

My final decision to go with YTB came down to this, I LOVE TO TRAVEL, first. THE YTB business concept makes sense and is simple. And NO INVENTORY. Importantly, the YTB team I joined. They are supportive, and are on fire and excited about the business, while having FUN, FUN, FUN. Most importantly, they care about people.

Did I say...I love to travel (again), and want to as much as possible. And persons I know travel, they know and so on. It is usually a wise choice to do something one has a passion for.

The travel business is a happy business, helping people fulfill dreams. That appealed to me. Even persons that may not be able to travel for some reason usually know someone that does.

What person can you ask what they would like to do more of that most of the time would not answer....Travel more, vacation more, golf more, have more free time, spend more time with family, fire my boss, retire & travel the world, etc.

If you are reading this you are ahead of the game. YTB is a innovative and highly successful travel company. YTB offers a ONE-STOP travel and entertainment storehouse.

But YTB is still somewhat of a secret. Why do I say that? Most of us have booked travel online or know someone who has. But did we get paid for it? probably not! Heaven forbid if one booked Group Travel or a Family Reunion and did not get paid!

YTB came up with the novel idea of referral travel to pay people who own travel websites. It is referred to as a 'PAYCATION'. It allows them to have their own personalized travel website. Allowing them to build their own viable, lucrative travel business while doing so. Offering great travel deals to others. By becoming an Independent YTB RTA you can travel like the insiders with substantial discounts.

YTB is filled with success stories of persons that are living their dream. They will tell you it was not EASY, but it is SIMPLE. That determination and consistency is needed.

One has to understand that usually the sucessful person is NOT smarter than they are. Success in YTB is based on the system of DUPLICATION. Not reinventing the wheel. We can leave that to the inventor types.

When compared to other opportunities YTB is positioned at the front of the wave. The question is will you catch it? YTB has caused a paradigm shift in the travel industry. By putting the power of the Internet coupled with state of the art travel search technology that rivals any major online travel company. YTB offers services to the public that other travel websites do not. Placed into the hands of the ordinary consumer or entrepreneur.

YTB is not a hard sell. In fact I don't consider it selling. Simply put, 80% of people go online to book travel anyway. So why not ask them to book with you. Or to do comparison shopping for competitive travel rates.


 There is no one path for a person to take in YTB, there are MANY.

What interests you?

Perhaps you only want to refer persons to book travel on your website.

Or that you want to sell travel websites.

Maybe you want to specialize in Group Travel, Singles Travel, Golf Travel, Adventure Travel, Destination Weddings, etc. The list is ENDLESS.
