Everything you need to know about our commission plans, credentials, technology, and onboarding process.

About Host Agencies & Joining TAP

A travel host agency is a specialized service provider for independent travel advisors. Host agencies provide industry credentials (such as IATA and CLIA accreditation), established supplier agreements with top-tier commission brackets, access to ongoing training programs, marketing platforms, CRM software, accounting services, and agent mentorship within an active community of fellow entrepreneurs.

Absolutely. Travel Agent Pro strongly encourages all members to build and brand their business with their own company name and visual identity. You work when, where, and how you choose. As an independent business owner, you decide how to showcase your travel expertise to clients.

Joining is simple! Fill out our online application form or book a virtual discovery call on Calendly. We'll learn about your business goals, recommend the best plan tier, and walk you through onboarding so you can begin booking in just a few days.

Commission Splits & Direct Deposit

Commissions are paid every two weeks by direct deposit directly into your bank account. Payouts occur once the travel supplier releases funds to TAP and client travel has begun.

Yes! We offer 100%, 90%, and 80% commission split plans. You select the program that best balances your monthly overhead goals and sales volume. You can also upgrade tiers as your booking revenue increases.

We believe in total transparency. Our monthly membership fees cover your Vacation CRM software, Signature Travel Network membership, booking credential access, and mentorship. There are no surprise booking fees or hidden charges. Full details are on our Plans & Pricing page.

IATAN, CLIA & Credentials

Travel advisors must generate at least $5,000 in gross supplier commissions within a rolling 12-month period to qualify for industry credentials including an official IATAN card. Once you meet this milestone, we guide you through the fast-track application process.
