Average Commission On The Rise
Travel Professionals International (TPI) has released annual results for its exclusive Velocity recognition program for TPI travel advisors.
Morris Chia, TPI president & CEO, said: “We are thrilled to see that our advisors’ hard work is paying off with them putting more money in their pockets.”
Chia noted that: “Their focused hard work coupled with our industry-leading supplier base commissions, head office advisor support, and Velocity recognition and incentives showcases the unbeatable value proposition of joining our network.”
The number of travel advisors who qualified for the program increased by 14% from the previous year, representing the large majority of TPI advisors, while the average take-home commission per qualifying advisor increased by 19% from the previous year.
Across TPI’s entire network of advisors – those who both do and do not qualify for Velocity – average take-home commission per advisor increased by 18% from the previous year.
In releasing the results, Chia observed: “There is unfortunately still a misconception that independent travel advisors do not make a decent living. That is categorically false as on an individual advisor basis taking home over $125,000 [plus] annually is a very achievable goal as this represents only a portion of what many of our top travel advisors earn.”
