About The Travel Agent Next Door

Travel agents working with The Travel Agent Next Door can expect to earn between 65% - 100% of the commission. TTAND has a tiered approach to supplier's commissions, a little different than most host agencies. They have 3 supplier levels: Preferred, Approved and all others.

Depending on the program and your revenue productivity, there could be no annual fees, up to a saving of $499, and monthly fees range from $19-$69/month. The contract term are 1 year for experienced agents.
If you want to BECOME a travel agent (so have never been a travel agent before), there are 3 program options: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Independent contractors in this program earn between 50-95% commission. The contract term is two years. The Travel Agent Next Door program fees for new agents (which are paid prior to starting the program) begin at $1,699 for the Bronze plan and jump to $7,499 and $12,499 for the Silver and Gold plan respectively. Payment plans are available for the Silver and Gold programs (12-months and includes some interest).
