Third-Party Partnerships
Third Party Commissions Add Up
When travel agents hear that a cruise line or tour operator pays higher commissions of 12 to 17% for a booking, an inexperienced travel agent may get excited. Those agents that have been around for awhile know that it does not add up to what it used to. That is where third party companies come into play.
Travel Agents Profit by Selling Shore Excursions
Cruise lines, for the most part, do not pay travel agents for selling shore excursions. However, there are third-party vendors selling shore excursions that do pay travel agent commission. Besides paying the agent, the tours are often lower prices for the customers, or at least the same price.
Travel Agents Utilizing Airfare Consolidators
Travel agents often use consolidators to find lower airfares for their customers, while adding more profit for the travel agency. With so many consolidators to choose from, an agent needs to be discerning when choosing a consolidator to work with.
