Before a travel agency can carry out any activity in the Brussels-Capital Region, an application accompanied by the necessary documents must be submitted to Brussels Economy and Employment. Depending on the case, the Agency will apply for a licence or submit a declaration. You can find all the information you need on the Opens in new windowBrussels Economy and Employment website.
Every travel agency must report, by registered mail and within one month of its occurring, any change that affects one of the elements of the authorisation application or its accompanying documents (e.g. opening a branch office). If opening a new branch office leads to an increase in staff, the deposit amount of the authorisation applicant, be it a natural or a legal person, must be adapted, and this must happen before the end of the month of July following the opening of this branch office.
Every travel agency must report the cessation of their activity.
