What Is A Home Based Travel Agent?

Many people are unclear about the travel industry. Travel agents are often
thought to be the same as real estate agents. Becoming a travel agent or more
specifically a home based travel agent is an exciting career change or
retirement option. Some people do it full time while many do it as a part time
business.
A travel agent books travel for customers and is paid by suppliers a commission
on the booking. For bookings that suppliers do not pay a commission on, a travel
agent also can charge the client a service fee for his/her time. An example is
if you were to book a hotel for a client, the hotel would then send a check to
the agency after the client checked out. Most hotels pay 10% of the price of the
hotel before taxes and fees. To read the full article click here Travel and Leisure
