How Are Affiliate Travel Agents Compensated? 

As an affiliate travel agent you receive a percentage of the commissions for the travel you or your customers purchase from travel suppliers, except for airlines who no longer offer commissions. The commissions are shared with your hosting travel agency. Your share is up to 70% of the commission for booking travel online.

Here's a summary of ways you are compensated when you become a travel agent:

• Training and accreditation as a professional independent travel agent
• Official independent travel agent photo credentials
• Toll-free security verification - to confirm your professional status
• Specially negotiated travel offers and discounts available only to independent travel agents
• Commissions on your own business and leisure travel
• Commissions on the travel of your friends, family, co-workers and others
• Referral fees for every new agent you enroll
• Ongoing seminars, newsletters and sales training
• Contests, sales incentives and bonus commission programs
• Tax advantages of running an independent business (consult your tax advisor)
• The flexibility and satisfaction that come from working for yourself, but not by yourself
• The ability to travel more and travel better than you ever dreamed
