Do you have what it takes to be a travel advisor? This tool helps you decide

Travelsavers’ KORE education program has a new profile tool that helps aspiring travel advisors evaluate whether they are well-matched to the realities of the field.

The interactive online assessment, “Do You Have What It Takes to Be a Million-Dollar Travel Advisor?”, presents scenarios drawn from real-world challenges – ranging from flight disruptions and technology snafus to last-minute hotel complications.

Participants select how they would respond to the situations. At the end of the 10 questions, the profiler reveals the person’s aptitude for an advisor career.

“The sky’s the limit for travel advisors today,” stated Diana Hnatov, director of sales and services for KORE, which entered the Canadian market in 2024.

“There’s so much opportunity to create a satisfying, successful career – for those candidates with the right strengths. This tool gives aspiring advisors a better sense of whether the profession aligns with their instincts and skills.”

The profiler launch comes at a pivotal moment for the travel industry.

According to LinkedIn’s Jobs on the Rise 2026 report, travel advisors are among the fastest-growing careers in North America, reflecting sustained momentum over the past three years.

As travellers increasingly seek personalized, experience-driven itineraries, demand for expert planning and trusted advisor support continues to rise.

Agencies are expanding hiring efforts to keep pace, while the industry also faces a generational shift: the average travel advisor is now 50 years old, according to Zippia, underscoring the need to attract younger talent into the profession.

“KORE’s mission is to recruit and train the next generation of advisors,” said Hnatov. “This assessment will spark the interest of prospects and set expectations about what it takes to be a success in this career.”
