This is a statement not a question. You need to frame a question to have an answer.
i was looking for a definition myself but here we go. i think an independent travel agency is a travel agency that is independent. FIRST OF THIS IS RUBBISH an independent is a travel agent isn't owned by any one it is either owned by 1 person or a small group of people
independent organisations are those that only have one base. So an independent travel agent would be just one shop and usually located in one town/place.

Nothing because a travel agent and a travel agent are the same thing.
hi, im a travel agent and there are no specific requirements- nvq in travel and tourism normally helps- but an interest in travel will be more attractive to the branch manager just gather lots of brochures and have a good read up on destinations before you try good luck
An independent travel agent is often owned by a family or partnership and are private companies. These Outlets are more likely to be found in smaller towns has they cannot afford rent of prime locations. Many Independents are bought out by Miniples and Multiple chains. Independent travel agents rely on repeat business.
To become a travel agent and access discounts on travel bookings, you typically need to complete a training program or obtain a certification in travel and tourism. This can be done through vocational schools, community colleges, or online courses. Once you have the necessary qualifications, you can apply for a job at a travel agency or work as an independent travel agent. This will allow you to access discounts on travel bookings through partnerships with airlines, hotels, and other travel providers.
Likewise, you do not have to be certified as a travel agent to become a home-based travel agent. Now there are several travel agent certification programs out there, most notably those operated by The Travel Institute, but that is something else entirely. Seeking travel agent certification and becoming a certified travel agent is a matter of professional pride, not a must-have to become a travel agent.
