Personal Travel? Accessible Travel? Client and Advisor Perks?

Author: Host Agency Reviews August 29, 2025 Duration: 20:50

This week for the Friday 15, Shayna co-hosts with April Swales of Uniglobe! This week we’ve got a bunch of great questions to discuss this Friday at 12 pm CST. Join us! 

  1. I am wondering how it works if I book flights and hotel stays separately for myself? I typically travel for work within Canada and also to San Diego for pleasure to see family. How does commission work for that type of travel? 
  2. Hi, I just passed my tap certification. I'm interested in helping people with accessible travel .I'm disabled myself. Where's a good place to start. for example, host agencies etc
  3. I keep noticing offers from my host agency/consortia/vendors that would provide perks for my clients and bonus commissions for me.. after it is too late to claim them. How do other agents manage the flood of consumer and agent incentives so they can make recommendations that are good for their clients and good for them?
