Clients do not pay your commissions, suppliers do, because you are bringing them sales. Suppliers pay commissions once a client returns from a trip. Each supplier sets their own commission rates, from 5-30%, with most averaging 10-15% of the tour or cruise price, excluding taxes or fees. The average commission is $200-$500 for a seven-day vacation for a family of four. Honeymoon commissions usually range from $500-$1,000. Commissions on groups can vary, ranging from $1,000-$50,000. So how much money you earn depends greatly on how many of these types of vacations you sell each year. It is not uncommon for a full-time, home-based Travel Advisor to make a six-figure income. To ensure your commissions are accurate and paid in a timely manner, it is critical that you put all your client’s trip details in the system as soon as you complete the reservation.
