Understanding Commission Splits
What Are Commission Splits?
When you partner with a host travel agency, you gain access to their established relationships with suppliers. Commission splits determine how the total commissions earned from travel bookings are divided between you and the host agency. Understanding these splits is essential for maximizing your earnings.
Industry-Leading Commission Splits
At Gateway Travel, we take pride in our industry-leading commission splits that can enhance your income potential. Here’s how our model works:

- Performance Incentives: Your success drives our commission structure. The more you sell, the higher your commission percentage, reflecting our commitment to helping you navigate through our industry-leading commission splits.
What to Look for When Comparing Commission Splits
When searching for a host agency, it’s essential to consider more than just the percentage split. Keep an eye out for:
- Payment Timeliness: How quickly does the agency payout commissions? A swift turnaround can maximize your cash flow and demonstrate their commitment to you.
- Support Services: Do they offer the tools and support necessary to increase your sales? A solid commission split won’t mean much without training and valuable resources that showcase how our training helps you sell more.
- Flexibility: As your career evolves, your needs may change. Choose an agency that adapts its commission structures to align with your growth.

Questions About Earning Potential
As you explore different host agencies, you’re likely to have questions about your earning potential. Consider the following questions to ensure you make an informed decision:
- What is my expected commission rate? Make sure you have a clear understanding of the commissions you'll receive on various bookings, aligned with our industry-leading commission splits.
- Is there a threshold I need to meet? Some agencies require agents to achieve a certain sales volume before receiving higher commission tiers, which can affect your overall potential.
- What additional incentives are provided? Are there bonuses, contests, or rewards for high-performing agents? These incentives can significantly impact your overall earnings and are critical questions about earning potential to discuss with your potential host.
