How to earn commissions back on Your Travel Adventures
Did you know that travel doesn’t have to be just another expense; it can be an income stream. I recently learned there are travel partners that will give you commission back on travel; everything from airfare, hotel bookings, car rentals, travel insurance, tour tickets and more. I know, I was shocked the first time I learned that too. And I have worked in the hospitality industry for over a decade! This post will walk you through the steps to get started and tips for maximizing your earnings.
Join a Host Agency:
I’ve found that one of the most effective and easiest ways to earn commissions on your travel bookings is by joining a host agency. A host agency provides support, resources, and tools for earning commissions back on travel and if you are looking to to expand your earnings into a travel business will give you the necessary training to succeed. It’s like having a Business in a Box, everything is literally provided to you!
Benefits of Joining a Host Agency:
Access to Supplier Relationships: Host agencies have established relationships with travel suppliers, including airlines, hotels, cruise lines and tour operators. These relationships often come with exclusive deals, higher commission rates, and special perks that independent agents might not be able to access on their own.
Comprehensive Training: Most host agencies offer extensive training programs for their agents. This training covers everything from booking procedures to marketing strategies, helping you become proficient and successful in selling travel.
Marketing Support: Host agencies often provide marketing materials and support to help you promote your travel business. This can include branded websites, email marketing, campaigns and social media resources —all done for you.
Technology & Tools: With a host agency, you gain access to advanced booking and customer management tools that help streamline your workflow and processes.
Community & Support: Being part of a host agency connects you with a community of other like-minded individuals who are working towards the same goals. This network can offer you invaluable support, advice, and even friendships as you build your business.
Steps to Joining a Host Agency:
Research and Choose a Reputable Host Agency: Look for agencies with good reputations, positive reviews, and robust support systems. Some well-known host agencies include Travel Leaders, Nexion and InteleTravel (which I personally use and love!).
Apply & Register: Follow the application process for your chosen host agency. This usually involves filling out an application, however if your interested in my host agency you can just send me a message ;)
Complete Training: Once accepted, complete any required training programs to get familiar with the booking systems, supplier relationships, and best practices.
Start Booking! : Use the tools and resources provided by the host agency to start booking travel for yourself and clients. Track your commissions and reinvest them into your business to grow your earnings.
