These 7 easy home businesses are for you – that is, if you enjoy cruising down the Nile in the moonlight, gazing at the Alps from your sidewalk cafe, or falling hopelessly in love in Venice.
The travel industry has been through a huge shakeup, causing new businesses to spring up. And this spells new home-based business opportunities for you to make money.
Here are a few of these easy home businesses for you to get into.
Yacht Charter Broker
This is a unique business that is growing more popular by the month. In this business, you market to clients who want to charter a luxury yacht equipped with a captain, crew, and chef – and carrying plenty of fresh food. Clients spend their vacation cruising, swimming, sunbathing, diving, and dining on gourmet meals. You receive a good commission from the yacht management company for each booking.
Jet Charter Broker
As a jet charter broker, you are assigned a certain geographical area and a list of clients to contact. These clients chartered jet planes in the past and are regular fliers. Clients can charter the entire jet or just one seat. There are over 1200 jet charter companies in the United States. Flights cost thousands of dollars although “empty leg” trips go at discounted prices. Your commission is paid by the charter company.
Travel Affiliate
In this business, you market trips, tours, travel vacations, hotels, cars, cruises, and other attractions from your Web site. You receive a commission on each booking you make.
Tour Organizer
As a tour organizer, you set up a tour in any part of the world that you are familiar with. Many tours today are based on a theme. For instance, there are single tours, archeology tours, safari tours, and ancestor research tours. There are also underwater diving tours. If you are a diving instructor, you can take the students on a tour of dive sites in the Caribbean and other areas. Once your business grows, you can make more money by outsourcing the work of the tour guide.
Travel Agency

Also, join a travel association such as the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA). They have good benefits and help you to network with other professionals.
