LHT28 Posted November 18, 2006 #4 Share Posted November 18, 2006 It depends on the cruiseline and whether you are part of a consortium you can get 10-20% But I am sure the BC government has rules like in Ontario for setting up a TA and the fees proably out weigh the profit margins The big companies & online agencies are fierce competion for the little guys.

jetskier Posted November 18, 2006 #5 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Also keep in mind that you dont always get paid until the client cruises or takes their vacation. With most people booking 6 months to a year out, it could be awhile before you have any income coming in. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
