Frequently Asked Questions
How does a travel agency make money?
A travel agency's income is generated by either service fees charged to the client or by commissions received from vendors for confirming the client's reservations, or a combination of both. This type of income structure is why travel consultants are generally compensated by commissions, earning a portion of the actual service fees and commissions they have generated each month that the agency has received.

How is UniWorld's commission structure different?
UniWorld utilizes the commission structure in such a way that we have positions that range from no travel industry experience all the way to highly trained professional travel consultants & specialists. This allows anyone interested in becoming part of the travel industry, to have a place and position with UniWorld Travel. Many agencies do not offer individuals without travel agency experience a way to get started into the industry.

Why does UniWorld do this?
Since the start of UniWorld Travel, Inc. in 1992, our principle mission has been to provide travel consultants with a business platform to be successful. UniWorld has always provided the agency's travel consultants with the back-office accounting, sales support and tools necessary to be a successful consultant, and helped lead the way for the highest paying commissions in the industry. We also realized that we could provide this same business platform to independent travel consultants needing the same platform for success, and have been doing so now for over 25 years.

What is an Ambassador?
Our travel Ambassadors are individuals, small businesses or non-profit organizations that assist with marketing, but do not actively sell or confirm any travel reservations. Ambassadors work with our existing travel consultants to promote the agency and our services through new client referrals. Each time a new client is referred to the agency by the Ambassador, commissions are earned based on the service fees & commissions received from the client's purchases.
