BLOG COMMENT - TMCs (Agents)

The vast majority of TMCs (even the larger ones) still rely heavily on supplier income despite what they may say. Could you survive and thrive on what you pay them? I don't think so. There are ways and means now to get the definition of these 'incentives' changed so they are not included in any corporate deal. Agents have needed to do this in order to fund central and associated costs plus earn sufficient ROI.

  1. Hi Mike,

    Apart from hotel commissions, which are notoriously hard for us to track, what other supplier incomes are you referring to? As a small independent Corporate Travel Agent I am unaware of what 'incentives' you mean here. Thanks, Tom
