Abstract | Travel agents currently do not charge their clients for the services they perform. Rather their income is derived from commissions paid by principals ranging from wholesalers to airlines and hotels. However, this might change as airlines in particular, are attempting to reduce distribution costs by reducing commissions paid to travel agents. |
