How do I make money as a travel agent? When you make travel bookings for yourself or your clients, the travel suppliers (Cruise Lines, Tour Operators, Hotels, etc.) will pay a commission on the base travel sale amount before taxes and fees. The exact commission percentage can vary between 3% and 20%, with the average being around 14%.
How long does it take to get set up as a Travel Agent? Once you complete the online application, your website is generated and ready to start selling and you can begin the online training. Once your enrollment and your fee is processed, you are set with your own Travel Agent website and back office access.
Do people still use travel agents? Yes! There is a resurgence in the use of Travel Agents because we provide value and professional recommendations to our clients. Also because of travel restrictions in 2020 more people than ever are looking for somewhere to go in 2021 from travel agents.
How and where do I get customers? During your training, you will learn how to market yourself in your local community. Social Media is one of the best venues for connecting with clients. We can also assist in seeking out groups via schools, churches and sports programs and we can show you who to contact to present your services.
Why would people use me as their travel agent instead of just going to the Internet? You will have some clients that prefer to book their own travel online. However, Cruises, Tour Packages and extended vacations are still most often booked by Travel Agents. These trips require a lot of time, knowledge, and organization. Travel planning can also be a daunting task when planning to visit a foreign country or book with groups of family and friends. You are their advocate who can handle all this for them!
How much money can I make as an Archer Travel Agent? When you book travel for yourself or a client, our travel suppliers (like cruise lines, resorts, etc.) pay us a percentage of the total sale amount. Commission rates vary based on suppliers but are generally between 3% and 20%. The average is 14%. We pay you 50% TO 90% of the amount we receive from the supplier. Let’s say you book an all-inclusive honeymoon trip to Mexico and the total cost for the couple is $5,000. The payout from the travel supplier is 16%, so the total commission is $800. The agent’s share is $400 to $720 total commission based on which option you choose and your sales volume.
Why do I have to pay a fee to join the Archer Travel program? Your set up and monthly fee covers all the training, tools, and technology that we provide to help you start and run your travel agency. We are constantly providing our agents with updated technology and new resources that you can use to be profitable. As with owning any business, you need to invest time and money in order to be successful, and your membership fee allows us to build, maintain, and enhance what we can offer you as a travel agent.

How do I get my own IATAN or CLIA Travel Agent ID card? Once you join the Archer PTA program and generate $5,000 in personal commission income per year you will be able to apply and will receive this very important card. The card allows you to receive excellent discounts and travel opportunities. A small fee does apply
Do I need a special license to be a travel agent? Archer Travel is licensed and bonded in all 50 states and we have the capability of selling all travel components worldwide. By becoming a travel agent with Archer, you are covered by our licenses and you too can sell travel anywhere.
