Frequently Asked
Questions

Do I need previous travel industry experience to join Playcation Travel?

Not necessarily – while previous travel industry experience is an asset, it isn’t a requirement. What matters most is a genuine passion for travel, a commitment to delivering an exceptional client experience, and a willingness to learn. Playcation Travel provides training and support to help new advisors get up to speed, and our peer support program connects newer advisors with experienced team members who are there to help along the way.

Is this a full time or part time opportunity?

Both – our advisors are independent contractors, not employees, which means you have the flexibility to build your business around your life. This is a commission based role, so what you put in is what you get out. Some of our advisors work full time and have built thriving client bases, while others started part time alongside other commitments and grew from there.

What is TICO and do I need it to join Playcation Travel?

TICO is the Travel Industry Council of Ontario – the government-mandated corporation responsible for regulating the travel industry and enforcing consumer protection laws for travel agencies in Ontario. Because Playcation Travel is an Ontario-based, TICO registered agency, all of our advisors are required to complete the TICO education requirements regardless of where they live in Canada. Your Playcation onboarding process will walk you through everything you need to know and make sure you’re set up properly before you start selling.

What makes Playcation Travel different from other agencies?

Playcation Travel was built with advisors in mind. We’re an agency with a strong focus on integrity and transparency, and we provide support for advisors at every stage of their business. Whether you’re just getting started or you’re a seasoned advisor looking for a home that respects your experience and gives you the autonomy to run your business your way – we’ve got a place for you.

Beyond that, we’re a collaborative group. Our peer support program connects newer advisors with experienced team members so they have access to help when they need it. The culture Francine continues to build is one where advisors treat each other with respect and genuinely want to see each other succeed.
