Minneapolis, MN –– May 22nd, 2017: Host Agency Reviews is conducting a Travel Agent Income Survey and will publish its findings in June, 2017. While the survey is the first-ever to emphasis hosted agent income, it is open and available to all travel agents, and can be accessed here.


In its first week, preliminary data has already identified trends in career satisfaction among agents. So far:


  • 78.6% of agents are either “happy” or “super happy” with their career choice


  • 93.8% of agents would “choose to become a travel agent again”


  • Only 66.2% of agents feel they are fairly compensated


  • When asked “What is the most challenging part of your job,” the most popular answer was, “Income is too low/ Hard to make ends meet”

The findings will offer critical information income in correlation to experience level, niche, travel certification and more.


All agents who complete the survey will be entered in a drawing to win a $200 credit with their host or consortium. Travel agents interested in taking the survey can follow this link. The deadline to complete the survey is June 1, 2017.
