about 5%, maximum 10
аватар Tati1144
Basically they give 3%, 5 - this is already regular customers, well, 10 ...
аватар lvenok
by the way, 10 is not so much, if the ticket goes to 30,000, then the discount is only 3 thousand

Previously, the tour operator gave agencies a discount in different ways up to 12%,
and since last year we have equalized 10% for all small agencies,
so think about how much the agency can throw off for you.
I don’t know how it is in Russia, but here (I always choose a tour myself at home)
the agency makes a 6% discount.
аватар Pachok
Well, now many agencies also do not book directly with operators, but through "clubs" such as "Hot Tours", of which they are members. There is an increased commission for them, so tourists do not need to worry about their profits at all :)))
If everyone found, read, chose, then do not agree to less than 5% discount.

Hello!
Hot, translate this info to the tourist:
http://pegast.com.ua/samo5/login.php?redurl=%2Frus%2Fonline%2Fuseful%2Ffor_agents%2Fbonus_2007
for other "tourists":
Pegasus increases the commission for agents, a large banner with bags of money on the main page + a ticker with a link (only for agents).
In the news (ibid.):
"07/28/2010 Commission increase from 07/29/2010!"
Question:
Why annoy the tourist with this info? Is it really impossible to make a mailing list for registered users (agents)?

Pachok no longer makes sense in any clubs. Everyone was called - 10%. This is if we talk about Turkey and Egypt. Only Proland has 10.5%. I don't even know how they do it. And you need to send money to the tour operator. Up to 500,000 this is not a problem, but after that, you need to make a simple payment through the bank so that it does not go through the account. And this is again spending at least 0.6% in my city. Remains 9.4%. If you give a discount of 6%, then on a tour of 1000 dollars. earnings only 36 dollars. And the responsibility is complete. And rent and salaries to employees and everything else. It's not business, it's bullying. Gentlemen travel agents! If you are engaged in this kind of blasphemy, then I beg you: quit this business and do not interfere with the work of others. It still does not bring you profit. You are only hurting everyone. Thank you.

"earnings only 36 dollars." Sorry, the math is wrong. 34 remains.
аватар Amir1
"work for the girls from the agency - book it and count the money." Disagree. How about choosing the right tour? You need to know hotels. All. And this is an investment in yourself of a lot of money, because. you need to go to each hotel and see with your own eyes what it is, then to compare, understand what you need and sell you a tour that suits you according to your request. To do this, not a small amount of money is spent on each manager per year. The license also costs money. If something is wrong, you will not call Pegasus, but to us, relatives, travel agents, at 3 or 4 in the morning every day, because. you can’t see the Pegasus sign at the airport in the morning, which is 2 meters away from you, and you can’t pick up your documents because you haven’t woken up yet. And if in Turkey, God forbid, then you just eat us alive. Not Pegasus, but us travel agents. For 34 dollars. So much for "work for the girls from the agency - book it and calculate the money."
аватар Amir1
Pegasus is now real 12%
Please pay attention to the increase in commission to 12% (when booking online) for all new applications from 29.07.2010. All other conditions of the bonus program do not change.
But for how long?...
аватар Pachok
Amir1, you do not understand what I'm talking about. Through "hot tours" the commission for agents is more than directly from the operator. http://www.hottury.in.ua/
At least some of my friends work that way for a higher commission.
Yes, and Tokha75 asked about something else - he does not need the agency to select and advise him something, he has already found everything. For one-time courier services, 34 dollars is enough :))
And it is high time to send documents by e-mail (if the tour is without affixing visas in the passport), as many do. Big savings! :)
Still, operators would make online sales for tourists directly - and it would be very good.

"For one-time courier services, $ 34 is enough :))" - the courier service may cost less;)))) (strictly my IMHO)

"Still, operators would make online sales for tourists directly - and it would be very good." - Mostrevel already!

In Russia, Pegasus also makes reservations online, but he takes an agency discount for himself (so far there is no competition in this service), it turns out cheaper to stomp to the agency ...
S7 with i-travel.ru is a little better (but again this is only Russia), then if they compete with them, then they will share the agency discount with the tourist, or even give it all away (fantastic).
аватар Toha75
Amir - you don’t need to choose a tour: I SPECIFICALLY KNOW WHERE, WHEN AND FOR HOW MUCH I’m going. I went to the agency, they give 5%. Probably I’ll take it there - almost near my house, no need to go. although there is already a discount - it's purely a matter of principle - pay 2000 bucks for the tour and save 100 ... ridiculous.
аватар HotLine
Really funny. Imagine, they will also earn 100 on this tour. And you probably didn’t see the queue for tours with them. 1-4 sales per day. And the costs are advertising, rent, wages, info tours, taxes, banking costs, consumables, depreciation of equipment, dividends to the owner. And the operators of a single commission achieve their goal - the sale of tours by agents without any discounts at all. So that in a situation like yours (you know everything and know how), they booked tours directly with them. Such a funny business, whose employees are called girls. And some believe that only couriers should be in the state at all.
Okay, this is a lyric.
And the facts are as follows - the market for tour services is changing a lot and will continue to change. Once upon a time there were regularly last-minute tours and every self-respecting tourist considered it stupid to go at planned prices. Today, an experienced tourist understands that burning ones are far from always. And you need to prepare for a cheap trip.
Now we need to wean ourselves from discounts. Not because the agents are so greedy and poor. But because the main players are preparing the market for a different tour sales system.
And this is correct and objective.
If it were not for such fierce competition between them, then this would have happened a long time ago.

In Ukraine, operators introduced a single commission. Lasted almost a year. Today this system is partially destroyed by them. Competition. But they did not return to their original positions. The commission is the same, but everyone is different. Only networks of agencies have a small addition of 1-2%. But half of this supplement is taken by the central offices of the networks. So it's a tiny difference.
In Russia, they could not agree at all.
These are the things we have here, Amir1.
Sorry for this analytics. I just see here old friends on this site. Some of them, however, are only interested in their personal opinion.
Since the question is much simpler - we are really fighting for an additional discount of 1-3% (just think about it), I will answer on the topic. Agents, as a rule, do not practice a discount of more than 5%. Moreover, all operators have included in their agency agreements a clause limiting the discount to 5 percent. But for a tourist who knows and takes responsibility for himself, a 5% discount is a normal practice.
As for regular tourists, expensive tours and early bookings.

Amir1, have you already seen the bomb promotional prices for Air Asia?
Maybe your tourists will be useful to you:

Here you are a scribe, how smart everyone is here ... "34 USD for just booking and counting the money" "from 2000 USD - 100 USD .... ridiculous." And now count how many agencies in the city... And this agency sold from 3 to 15 tours per month... and let it earn a maximum of 100 USD. from the tour - we have 1500 USD Now, gentlemen, go further ... from these 1500 you need to pay for the rent - this is minus 500 USD. already. Then you need to give an advertisement so that they see you and maybe even buy something from you ... - this is another minus 200 USD. And we have 800 USD left. - for 2 employees and a director ... let it be 250 USD each. for two and the third 300 USD (and I still do not take into account the promotion of the site, payment for franchising, telephones, Internet). And here such tourists "And they gave me a discount in another agency of 6% - offer more, otherwise I will buy from others ..." And what ... earnings per month 500 USD ??? this is normal ... Yes, you need to shoot those who generally give more than 5% discount! Fine and close the company!
аватар eternal2
Awesome .... it's to serve 20 people in a month ... who combined your brain as they wanted ... and earn 500 USD .... because the travel agency around the corner FOP GOAT gives discounts on the right and left from 7-8 %....there are no words!
аватар brumgilda777
eternal2,
Can you change jobs?
Tourists are not required to know about your personal financial difficulties.
Moreover, it is generally contraindicated to work with people with such emotionally aggressive outbursts.
Then you won’t have to go nuts from everyone and wet GOATS)))

Answer to the question on the topic. 1) If you chose Pegasus on the website and call Pegasus, then they will sell you there at the same price as on the website, because the operator does not work directly with tourists, and if it does, it does not give discounts, at least more than 3%. 2.) There are smaller operators, they can give more discounts, but only on their product. 3.) if you call the agency and tell them that you have found a price, for example, for 1500 USD. at Pegasus on a certain date, and whether they can make the already selected tour cheaper for you - then this is already a discount at the discretion of the agency. But at the same time, we don’t forget that big discounts can be doubtful, as an option, the company will just need to plug a hole in the budget with your money and then not have time to recapture this money and you won’t fly anywhere, so it’s better to find out the discount from the beginning, then get reviews on the Internet, and then make a purchase.
