How Do Travel Agents Make Money? Let’s Break It Down!
Ever wondered how travel agents actually make money? It’s a question we get asked all the time! So, we’ve put together this handy (and exciting!) guide to show you just how lucrative the travel industry can be—especially when you’re part of a top-tier travel consortia like Your Travel Consultant! The Magic of Commission 💰✨ Let’s keep it simple: when you sell a holiday, the tour operator or supplier pays you a commission as a thank-you for bringing them business. It’s usually around 10% of the total holiday cost, though this can vary depending on the type of trip. 💡 Here’s the best part: This commission isn’t an extra charge for your customers! They pay the same price whether they book through you or go direct—but without a travel agent, they miss out on personalised service, expert advice, and the best-value deals. So, in reality, they’re paying for a service they’re not getting. Madness, right? Why Joining Your Travel Consultant is a Game-Changer 🎯 When you join a travel consortia

When is commission paid?
At Your Travel Consultant, we believe in rewarding hard work and dedication. That’s why we pay out commission before your clients travel – as soon as the final balance is paid to the supplier.
