Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Globetrotting Society is IATA accredited and affiliated with Travel Leaders Consortium, one of North America’s leading travel agency networks.

    This affiliation provides access to preferred supplier relationships, enhanced commission opportunities, and national-level buying power while maintaining a boutique, mentorship-driven environment.

    We also maintain Errors and Omissions insurance coverage.

  • Yes. Globetrotting Society maintains professional Errors & Omissions insurance coverage for advisors operating under the agency’s credentials and approved supplier relationships. This provides an additional layer of protection while conducting business through the agency.

    Advisors are strongly encouraged to obtain their own individual Errors & Omissions policy as their business grows. Maintaining personal coverage provides additional protection and is considered a best practice for professional travel advisors.

  • Advisors begin at an 80% commission split.

    After earning $5,000 in gross commission, advisors move to a 90% split.

    To maintain the 90% tier, advisors must generate at least $5,000 annually.

    Commission is paid after travel is completed and supplier payment is received.

    Advisors must remain active members at the time commission is received in order to qualify for payout.

  • Suppliers typically remit commission after travel is completed. Payment timelines vary by supplier and can range from thirty to ninety days post-travel.

    Once commission is received and cleared, advisors are paid within five business days via direct deposit.

    Commissions are not paid in advance.

  • No, but you must be willing to complete onboarding and treat this as a business.

    This industry requires organization, follow-up, and professionalism. Passion for travel is important, but systems and consistency are what create success.

  • Yes.

    Advisors build and maintain their own client base under their own brand names. We provide structure, supplier access, and mentorship, but client acquisition is the advisor’s responsibility.

  • Advisors may terminate membership with thirty days written notice.

    Clients belong to the advisor.

    However, active bookings made under Globetrotting Society credentials remain with the agency until travel completion and commission settlement.

    Advisors must remain active through travel completion and commission payout in order to receive earned commission.

  • Yes.

    Advisors may charge their own service fees or markups provided they comply with supplier policies and fully disclose fees to clients. Service fees are retained by the advisor.

  • Advisors may receive 100 percent commission on qualifying personal travel provided:

    • The advisor is physically traveling
    • Trip details are disclosed via email prior to departure
    • The email includes vendor name, booking number, and travel dates

    Bookings made solely for friends or family do not qualify as personal travel.

  • This business can be rewarding, but it is not quick income.

    Advisors are paid after travel occurs. You may spend time building proposals that do not convert. Success requires patience, follow-up, and consistent effort.

    Clients trust advisors with important trips. That responsibility should not be taken lightly.
