Hello everyone, I have been a Travel Advisor for about 4 years (part-time). I have a few repeat clients that I book travel for; but I want to expand my market.
I have never charged a fee for planning my client's travel, so I joined this group because I wanted to see how everyone has implemented & receives fees.
My strategy for collecting Service Fees are when a Client's booked travel are large amounts, small amounts or on the duration of the Travel Planning Services my company provides on the Client's behalf. If a Client's travel is extrememly large I waive my Service Fees, if the Client's research goes beyond a certain amount of days, I charge a Service Fee or if the Client's booked travel is a very small amount I charge a Service Fee. I really just base collecting Service Fees on how the Travel Planning is being handled.
