Read the ArticleWhy is there a growing interest in becoming a travel agent?
People are increasingly becoming travel agents not only for the opportunity to assist others during travel disruptions but also to tap into their firsthand knowledge of destinations and industry partnerships. These connections often result in perks such as hotel upgrades, ideal airplane seats, and insider experiences that aren't available through standard booking channels.
Do travel agents make a profit?
Travel agents earn a commission on selling travel, but the amount can vary depending on the supplier and whether they are affiliated with a consortium or host agency, which may take a percentage of their commission as well.
Is it worth becoming a travel agent?
Becoming a travel agent not only allows you to plan trips for others but also gives you access to special discounts on various aspects of travel. This is true for your clients, as well as yourself. Travel agents have access to a variety of discounted rates on airlines, hotels, and more, even when booking travel for personal use.
