They gave us a 6% discount, my friends 7%. Booked tickets for 3. It all depends on which travel agency you buy a tour, how many people you are. A couple of times we flew from another travel agency - we didn’t get any discounts at all and the prices were more expensive. ((((But now we are already smart, we are looking for tours via the Internet.
аватар irina206
thank you! there are three of us. do you book by yourself?

I wrote you an answer in a personal.)))

The difference in discounts between different agencies is 2-3% of the operator's price.
What is more important for you - to get these 2-3% extra or to choose the best option in your budget?
If a person has chosen a tour on his own, then he can easily get a 5% discount at any agency.
Except for tours from TEZTUR.

from my practice: before, a 5% discount was charged on a tour from 1000 USD. or regular customers (this is 2006-2008). after which my friend opened a travel agency herself and I and all my friends who flew from her received a 10% discount (in this case, my friend did not earn anything, since her commission from the tour operator is just 10%.) but she did nothing I didn’t, I did everything, I searched and designed.

"Didn't do anything"?!
Booked under your login and password, received an invoice for payment, paid or transferred to you for payment, received or informed you about the method of obtaining documents, hid or showed the movement of money in accounting, hid or paid taxes from this operation, received acts from the operator, signed and sent them back. Three times a year I compiled a statistical report and submitted it to the local tourism department. And recently, the same reports are required by the sanitary station.
We also arrange trips to zero for relatives and friends. But to consider that your girlfriend "did nothing" is at least not to respect her.
The flower shop doesn't grow flowers either.
By the way, for more than a year, a commission of 10% is a rare case. Usually it is a couple of percent higher.
аватар sandra-art
I myself booked tours under her username and password, received bills, drove and picked up, met my "clients" in the office, told them everything and selected.
and accounting, etc. she does in total for all operations, and not for individual tours
the sanitary station does not require a report, only tax and dstk
11-13% is just for early booking or if the travel agency has been cooperating with the tour operator for a long time, and our travel agency is only 2 years old
and teztour now does not allow discounts to be given at all

thanks everyone for the info!!!

If you are trusted with access to booking systems, then you are not just friends. Responsibility for the booking is very serious. If you know how to use operators' booking systems, then you are not an ordinary tourist who does not know what a dstk is.
And why then share such experience in the matter of an ordinary tourist? And mislead him?
Although you yourself write - "and our travel agency" ?!
Sanstation previously did not require anything. But in two districts of Kyiv we are already submitting reports and writing acts.
2 years is enough time to receive the increased commission. At Turtes, for example, it is enough for regional agencies to book tours for only 15 tourists.
At TEZ, 12% is given for tours booked 10 days before departure, regardless of sales volume.
Etc.
I wrote about the pricing features of TEZTUR above.

in 2006-2008 I was an ordinary tourist.
and my mother, for example, who goes on vacation also receives a discount, and she is an ordinary tourist.
I am a freelance worker in this travel agency, so to speak. I don’t make money with this, I just like it, but by nature I am curious. Here's what makes it fun to do it all.
аватар oresta52
I wonder what kind of company is such that "a freelance worker, curious by nature" is booking under her login! It's such a responsibility!
At least you don’t brag about this, otherwise the tax office will be interested, what kind of freelancers work under the password of a travel agency!
And in all matters of tourism you swim so shallowly that only a novice tourist can believe you, and not workers in the tourist business.
аватар sandra-art
my dear - so I lived all my life and dreamed simply that the Belarusian workers of the tourist business would believe me.
you all have so many blunders. everyone here is smart and experienced, and then tourists from you come from vacation and obscenities cover you, because you sold them a terrible hotel.
I send my friends and if anything - then I completely rake them out of them.
and I swim shallow or deep - it's not for you to judge ...
and you don’t need to scare me with the tax - I live in a country where it’s quite problematic to prove anything and no one needs it
аватар oresta52
I have never had a dissatisfied person in my practice.
And here's how it is "then I completely rake them out of them."
Teach, maybe when it comes in handy?
It is a pity that you think so about your country, but I think about your country differently, and I want to believe that everything will be fine with you!
Since my own sons live in your country!
аватар sandra-art
I also want to believe that everything will be fine in Ukraine. but I believe in this only when I leave here.
and I sincerely believe that everything will be fine in Belarus too. Our power is not eternal - it will change. and I hope very soon...
I can explain about "raking out". I advised my friends to rest where it would be good for me, forgetting at that time that what is good for me is not always good for others. or here my friend last week booked through me a tour in Side to Verona Phoenix 4*. the hotel is terrible, I warned him, the reviews showed both tourists and tour agents from advertisers, but NO - he rested that I wanted to go there. master master as they say. but he doesn’t like it, he will come and I will be to blame for this. That's why I don't want to work with people I don't know.

oresta52, You needlessly run into sandra-art.
Better get to know a new type of tourist who knows how to travel, can afford it and is quite competent.
About competence. sandra-art has a total score of +211 for 296 responses. For comparison, you have a score of +363 for 702 answers.
Responsibility is serious business. But tomorrow, operators will open online booking of tours for tourists and agents will generally have a monopoly on booking package tours. And one of the target audiences for such a booking is sandra-art and her friends. So get acquainted - the tourist of the future.
And the tax has nothing to do with it. The phrase "the tax office will be interested in what kind of freelancers work under the password of a travel agency!" - Well, absolutely, as if it were softer, incorrect.
аватар HotLine
And in the phrase "I have not yet had any dissatisfied in my practice" - let me not believe it.
If only because not everything depends on the agent.
Not to mention psychology. My friends are back from the tour. The husband is happy, but the wife is not. But because they are different people and they like different holidays. Every year we look for a compromise.
аватар oresta52
To HotLine I meant that, as Sandra writes, I had no dissatisfaction, no complaints.
And the fact that someone liked it more, someone less, it does not count ...
I try to offer people according to their requests, according to the degree of their knowledge of rest, according to the level of their rest, as a result, it turns out well.
And as for the raids, Sandra knows why, I wrote to her in a personal, I will not make it public.
аватар oresta52
Then HotLine treated your answers and advice with great confidence.
In this case, I will listen to your assessment of my answers (if they compare me with the answers of sandra-art), I will no longer answer questions from tourists, there are more experienced ones, I will not waste time (I type slowly).
It is all the more offensive that for the correct objective answer you get minuses from people like Sandra, because sometimes you have to correct.
Good luck everyone!

Strange reaction. It seems that answering questions is some kind of hard work that you have taken on yourself.
For me, answering questions is an opportunity at the epicenter of demand for travel services. Those. quickly feel the market and keep your qualifications in good shape. For a professional, this is very important. That is, this is what I need first of all.
And I was very glad that other professionals appeared here, otherwise sometimes I had to argue alone.
аватар HotLine
By the way, I have a total score of +1175 for 3116 answers. The lowest score of our trinity.
And nothing, I intend to continue to explain and study. Which is what I wish you.
аватар sandra-art
guys - these marks were given to you, honestly ...
I read all the answers to questions that interest me, and especially to those that I don’t know the answers to. for the purpose of self-education, so to speak.
So here are the ratings of experts here, how much I can conclude in 2 months - they depend just on "friendship" among themselves.
some here have lost their ratings for a long time, but people give the right answers, they just enter into a confrontation with the rest. and what?
I read the answer and to put it mildly, everything is exactly what rating anyone has here. and if I ever ask a question, I will analyze all the answers, not those that have +2 or more.
and put + or - for the answer to the question "which hotel should I go to?" or "Will they give me a Schengen?" it’s not worth it at all - the first depends on the person and his preferences, and it’s problematic to do it right blindly. about Schengen, the topic is generally separate and writing "do not be afraid of anything, of course they will give you" is at least not correct.
since failures still exist and, as practice shows, this is a roulette.

---tell me, what discount can a travel agency give for a tour? And what does it depend on?---
because we have been constantly purchasing tours from the same TA for more than a year,
then they give us a discount of 7%
In addition, I regularly recommend to my friends,
and they, in turn, are also satisfied and their discount
increases with each successive trip.
