The income of travel agents can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including their level of experience, the type of agency they work for, the location of the agency, and the commission structure in place.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for travel agents in the United States was $40,660 in May 2020, with the lowest 10 percent earning less than $24,930 and the highest 10 percent earning more than $69,420.
However, it’s important to note that these figures are based on a survey of travel agents in the United States, and the income of travel agents in other countries may be different.
It’s also worth noting that some travel agents work on a commission basis, earning a percentage of the total cost of the travel arrangements they make for their clients. In these cases, the amount of money they earn can vary widely depending on the types of travel arrangements they are booking and the commission rates in place.
