I don't think they make salaries. I think it's all commission.
I could be wrong but I used to do that a long time ago and there was no salary.

Re: Anyone know how much Travel Agents
The livelyhood of travel agents is commission. A good TA can make really good money, but it is a lot of work! Standard commission on hotels is 10 percent (hotels offer incentives from time to time to increase bookings) so a huge booking can result in a nice chunk of change. The industry has changed a lot over the last few years in terms of payment however - for example, agents make nothing from the airlines. As a result, some of the agents that cater to very high end clientele charge a fee for their services. This isn't the majority though.

I would think that it can very tremendously, just like real estate.

I was recently looking at job openings and liberty travel had some openings and their salary was $30,000 + commission.
