Want to make more commission……….?

With airlines in particular squeezing commission or even now giving agents none, did you know you can now make 10% commission on the air, land and cruise of a cruise holiday sold by you by joining www.cruiseagents.travel Australia’s leading online cruise wholesaler?

Brett Dudley, Managing Director, [pictured right] told The Mole that www.cruiseagents.travel is Australia’s leading specialist in the booming cruise market, representing more than 30 cruise lines, more than 20 airlines and over 35 hotels around the world.

He said, “With the pressure on air commissions in particular, travel agents need to join www.cruiseagents.travel because there’s money to be made.”

“The reason is that not only is cruising out of Australia to the major global cruise locations growing at over 18% per annum, that’s twice the global growth, but, we pay 10% on the our packages, including air.”   

“Agents are lucky to get 5% on air elsewhere and our packages are very easy to sell.”  “If an agent sells a $20,000 cruise package to a couple they can make $2,000 in commission,” Brett says.

The www.cruiseagents.travel website is the wholesale arm and vertically integrated with Brett’s ecruising retail site, www.ecruising.travel and he told The CruiseMole, “More than 1,000 agents have signed up but I’m aiming to increase that significantly”.  “Travel agents can buy through us, offer their clients a range of our 1,200 packages and get great service.”

“We are also a Preferred Sales Agents of Costa and Explorer Cruises and several established travel agencies incorporate our cruise database into their own websites, such as Travelocity India, Zuji Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong and the Standard Chartered Bank of Singapore.”
