How does a travel agency work?

2 types of travel agencies

  • Specialized travel agencies: they create personalized, tailor-made itineraries.

Client  Specialized travel agency

  • Tourism service providers or wholesalers: they offer their visibility by managing requests and files, and then entrust travel arrangements to specialized travel agency partners.

Behind the scenes: payment

As a customer, you don't usually know the real cost of your trip, only the total price. Information on the margins of specialized agencies is often opaque: few agencies will give you their detailed rates, service by service.

Specialized agencies use two main remuneration systems:

  • A margin on each service, thanks to rates negotiated with partners (between 15% and 25%).
  • A margin on the total cost of your trip (between 15% and 25% of the final price).
