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

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. What Does This Mean for You? Many travel agencies hold commission payments until after the client has travelled. But at Your Travel Consultant, we know that your time and effort deserve recognition sooner. Once the final payment is made to the supplier, you’ll receive your commission – meaning you don’t have to wait months to see the rewards of your bookings. Why Is This Important? Better Cash Flow – Get paid sooner, helping you reinvest in your business. Motivation Boost – See the results of your hard work without long delays. Financial Flexibility – Plan your earnings with confidence, knowing your commission is coming after final payment.
