To Tip or Not to Tip? Unveiling the Mystery of Travel Agent Gratuity
While online booking platforms dominate in our digital era, the expertise of travel agents remains invaluable, especially for crafting complex itineraries and tailoring personalized recommendations to discerning travelers.
But their expertise begs the question: should you tip a travel agent? Unlike waitstaff or hairstylists, travel agents don’t traditionally fall within the tipping purview.
Their compensation typically derives from commissions earned on bookings (flights, hotels, cruises) or flat service fees. Nevertheless, expressing gratitude for truly exceptional service can be a gracious gesture.
