Getting Paid: Commissions Explained
First things first: Where do travel agent commissions come from? How do they get from supplier to host to travel agent? How does a supplier know who gets what?
Suppliers pay out a certain percentage of the total amount paid for booking your clients trip with them. Using a host agency gets you top percentages for commission as these suppliers look at the total amount of ALL bookings made through the host, not just you! When you call/log-in to make a booking, the supplier asks for your travel agency's accreditation number (you'll get to know this 8 number code as well as your ss #). This is how they know who to send the commissions to. Then, after your client travels the supplier sends out your commission payment and it then gets sent to you! Commissions usually run between 10-37% of the total amount booked (excluding air). Your net commission amount is based on the amount of sales you generate. Still not sure what all this means? No worries, we'll explain more during our chat! What's most important is having a passion for being a Travel Agent and be willing to learn.

Love Life. Travel Well.
Featured Vacation Review: Katie was amazing. We originally had a party of 4 but 2 could not make it due to a family emergency. But, Katie really helped us adjust the reservation so that we did not lose a lot of money. She is the best and I highly recommend her.
Featured Destination Wedding Review: This is the second trip to Jamaica Katie has booked for my wife and I, and both completely exceeded expectations, this one was our wedding and Katie also handled accommodations for an additional 45 guests on our behalf. We will book all future vacations with LoveLife and Katie!
