Travel agents earn commissions through their partnerships with various travel suppliers.
When you, as a client, book a service like a flight, hotel, or tour through a travel agent, the supplier (airline, hotel, etc.) pays the agent a commission for bringing in the business. This commission is typically a percentage of the total cost of the booked service.
It’s important to note that the commission doesn’t directly impact the price you pay. Instead, it comes out of the supplier’s earnings. In other words, the travel agent’s compensation is covered by the supplier, not by an additional charge to you.
