Be in control of your earnings

The average earnings of a Leisure Travel Counsellor who has been in the business for two years is R350,000, but our top earners make over R1.5 million per year.

Earnings are uncapped and there are no sales targets. Quite simply, the more you put into your business, the more you’ll get out of it. Our flexible business model supports you equally, whether your ambition is massive or more modest. It really is up to you.

Our model is commission-based. That means you’ll earn money on a commission basis on the bookings that you make.
