The 15% seems fair. I'm not that familiar with the travel industry, how much more is that percentage compared to the commissions paid to traditional travel agencies pre-internet age? There were always,or at least very often, middlemen involved in the travel industry. Is the cut that for example Booking.com takes really that much bigger than travel agents used to take in the eighties?
- gimiluv 9y agoTraditional travel agencies take approx. the same amount as a commission and do so off of less competitive rates so the consumer ends up paying more. They don't notice because its usually bundled into the price with airfare.
