Who Uses a Travel Advisor
Using a Travel Advisor saves time and money. It takes an experienced Travel Advisor an average of 5 hours to research and book a vacation. The commissions are paid by the vendors, so the service provided by a Travel Advisor is essentially free.
Who Pays the Commission
Commissions are paid by the vendor on all travel that is booked, no matter how you book it. If you book through a travel agent, they get the commission. If you use a website and book it yourself, then the website owner makes the commission. Therefore, there is no cost to the consumer to use a travel agent, unless the agent ads a consultation fee to the transaction.
