And one more thing... Is it true that in TUI on Saturdays there is a discount of 2000 UAH? Then another plus to this 7% discount?

Something I don’t really believe in the generosity of TO and TA. Regular discounts are 3-7%, hardly higher. After all, agencies will not work to their own detriment.

Are you not satisfied with the 7% discount? Do you want to leave a travel agent without a salary? Are you ready to work without pay? TA agency fee can be from 7 to 14%, most often 9-11%. How much do you value the work of an agent? If you do not want to pay for the services of intermediaries - book everything yourself, now there are all tools for this.

Well, yes, the agent should, to his own detriment, "free of charge", just for your beautiful eyes, give the tour to zero, of course, change TA

Only if TO has a discount tour, there are no burning ones at all.
7% is good, for 5 years in 1 TA they didn’t give me more than 5%.

natali1905_Can I have the address of your TA?
For 7 years they give me a regular customer 5%, like everyone else. Interestingly, they also give you 7% on a promo tour?
I would like to see an agent who works to his own detriment.
Regarding tui, all discounts are listed on their website and the discounts are of course not cumulative.

We also give 7% to regular customers, but not to everyone! But no one interrupts and customers are always happy! Usually 0 -6. But more than 7, perhaps - altruism! Of course, there are tourists who say that the agency gave us a 20%, 25% discount ... but this is not true. Perhaps the operator "crossed out" the price and made a discount. And the agency receives its average 10% commission already from the final price of the operator. Everything. How to make a 25% discount out of 10?)))) Do you pay extra yourself or what ???

a strange question - if the prices suit you, then serve further in this office, if their prices are too high, look for others. But talking about the size of the discount is somehow illogical, for example, I know a TA that gives a 15% discount, but at the same time their tour is more expensive than others))) So it’s not the discount that matters, but the total amount!

300-400%....I laughed heartily, so the tourist industry is a child of Mavrodi??? with such a profit
budget tour costs about $700
this is what the net price should be, so that with a wrap of 300% it would cost so much)))))
$ 200 for two)))))), of which ground and flight, and the profit of the tour operator, and even the agent, something should fall)))))))
So why not ask for a 50-100% discount)))))))
I see you are an expert not only in immunology, but also in arithmetic, and you also know the tourism business from the inside))))))

7% is a very good discount.
The maximum that we were given was 8%, but this is for us and only in a specific agency. There are warm relationships from the time when people were not engaged in tourism at all :))))

They used to give me 10%. But it was a long time ago. Now it's 5-6%. But I don’t even think about changing a reliable travel agent for years. For me, the main thing is prompt, high-quality and responsible service.

I have such a good relationship with my TA that in principle I won’t take more than 7%.
After all, it is necessary to respect, at least a little, the work of a person.
When you pay 20-40 thousand UAH for a tour, it seems that TA money is rowing with a shovel.
But in fact, having made you a discount of 7% of those 40 thousand, the agent will have a thousand, at best.
Of which you need to pay rent, taxes, salaries, etc.
But this topic has a very good article,

but, I wonder if a tourist finds a tour on his own - should he come to an agent to book a hotel for a specific departure date and number of days, asking for a discount, or is it better to apply online on the tour operator's website?
and what is better for an agent to do - give a discount and receive a minimum commission for making a reservation to a tourist, or refuse a discount and lose a client, and with it the minimum profit with minimal labor costs?

with a minimum profit, the agency will not last more than six months, so it is better for a travel agent to forget such a tourist and work for a regular client and keep him.
If a tourist independently finds a package tour, then this is an experienced tourist who already has a permanent discount in the agency in which he has been served for many years, and does not go to all the agencies of the city and get the maximum discount.

all over the world,
there is infa that in Russia this year even regular customers are not given a discount, since many TOs have lowered the minimum threshold for the agency commission - here is Anex, for example: https://www.tourdom.ru/news/anex-tour-snizil-minimalnyy -porog-agentskoy-komissii.html
and my question implied that it is better to have a bird in the hand than a bird in the sky - Pachok got me right!

harber-x, topikstarter and I are from Ukraine, I don't know on what conditions TA work in Russia.
There are also so-called promo tours, where the TA himself is given a minimum percentage of earnings, then even there is no question of any 5-7% discount
Giving maximum discounts = working to zero, so the minimum profit is a utopia, if you give one client (not a regular one) the maximum discount, a chain reaction will start, if you don’t give another client the same discount, he won’t buy a tour, so TA with good earnings, good service and a large base of regular tourists, they will not be scattered, TA is full of one-day trips, in which the service is lame, because they cannot afford good advertisers, etc., and even in case of force majeure they will not be able to help.
Where and under what conditions to buy a tour is a purely personal matter for each tourist, as well as providing discounts to a tourist is a personal matter and the tactics of a travel agent.
