A host agency will typically want to do
everything it can for its travel advisors to
be successful. They want more advisors to
join the industry, they want to upskill the
advisors to help them grow and stay in busi-
ness. In return, advisors pay an annual fee
to continue to access these services.
The average annual fee charges by host agen-
cies is $500. Two out of 10 advisors said that
their host agencies charged no fee, almost
1 in 2 advisors said that they paid their host
agencies an annual fee of up to $500.
