 Re: How does one become a travel agent?
Travel agents live on commission, but that doesnt mean they get discounts if they're travelling. What I know is that if you are a travel agent, you couldn't use company resources for personal gains, although you might have incentives, there are restrictions. And about discounts, I'm sure travel agents can give discounts, but that is only because they are levelling with the client, they have a limit in giving discounts. And what I know is, these discounts are deducted from commissions, just to get the booking! So it doesn't make sense even if you are travelling a lot to become an agent. What you can do though, Is get one of those advantage or discount cards that major airlines, cruises or travel companies are members of that you can avail of great discounts with. |
