While many Americans associate kaleidoscopic fall foliage with New England, Seattle also brims with autumnal appeal with cool, crisp air and a stunning backdrop of tree-covered hills and mountains. Also: where else can you take in awe-inspiring views of Mount Rainier, knock back a chambong (champagne glass-beer bong hybrid), savor spicy Laotian chicken laap, and retire to a plush room overlooking Elliot Bay in a single day?
Travel Suppliers With the Best Commissions for Travel Advisors

Last month, ASTA sent a release about suppliers who pay timely commissions.
We surveyed top travel advisors in the industry to find out which suppliers truly deliver big when it comes to commissions.
It’s important to note that not every single travel advisor makes the exact same commission as their peers in the industry.
More seasoned and experienced advisors with bigger books of business are surely going to have higher commission numbers.
Additionally, some advisors receive higher earnings with their host agency and are not able to publicly comment on how much they get in commission. Because of this, a few advisors asked to remain anonymous.
Allianz Partners’ commissions for their most popular product “Classic,” pays 25% and their “Premier” product with higher coverages pays 35%. Commissions may be higher with a consortium.
“Allianz actually pays me 36% commission, I love them,” said one travel advisor who asked to remain anonymous.
The brand offers up to 15% with Funjet Vacations, Apple Vacations & up to 16% with Travel Impressions.
Also, with the “Get Paid to Upgrade” program, ALGV pays 17% and 18% on the entire land base. As for air, it’s up to 5% commission on bulk scheduled air, published fares, and full commission for Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights (risk air seats). Additionally, advisors can earn commission on transfers, tours, insurance, car rental and other features.
ALGV also has:
“When comparing earning opportunities, travel advisors should really compare total compensation, not just commission,” said Jacki Marks, ALG Vacations Executive Vice President. “ALG Vacations gives advisors the chance to earn more through commission incentives, preferred agreements with many host networks and consortia, and even cash rewards via our Waves program. Between our investment in the travel advisor community, our breadth of products and our many brands, we think ALG Vacations is the best choice for advisors to maximize their earnings and for their clients to have amazing vacations.”
If you are a Karisma GIVC agent, they pay up to 21% commission. Advisors can then get this 21% commission either directly with Karisma Reservations or with tour operators like Travel Impressions, Funjet Vacations, Delta Vacations, and more.
Advisors can earn between 17-20% depending on the room level (Luxury level vs. Concierge or Club level vs. Butler Level), as well as an extra 1% if you book using their online agency portal rather than over the phone with reservations.
Several advisors we spoke with mentioned BedsOnline as a great company to work with, offering them 20% commission.
Many advisors mentioned how cruise lines are better at paying commissions to advisors compared to hotels and tour operators.

Cruising is the Best Vacation for Family Reunions and Group Trips
Vacationing with one of the major cruise lines means meeting passengers from all ages groups and walks of life, and this often includes friends groups, work groups and family members who opt to plan a reunion at sea. I was reminded of this recently as I boarded the new MSC Seascape out of Miami, Florida. Several groups wore matching shirts with their family name and reunion details emblazoned on the front, not only for fun but also to help them easily locate each other at the port.
