As middleman the agency collects an agents commission from the supplier. This commission is normally defined as a rate-minus. Alternately, the agency is allowed to unilaterally mark up the net cost given by the supplier. This is known as net-plus. In other words, this is done, in a hidden and subjective way that is best price driven.

Travel agency manages all of the travelers needs and services in his/her trip and ask for a professional fee described as cost-plus. Cost-plus is the opposite of rate-minus. Cost-plus is different from net-plus. cost-plus is open while net-plus is hidden from the client. Cost-plus is the new trend, the new way.
A Travel Agencys new role as partner of the suppliers and the traveler requires a new definition:
a commercial enterprise where a traveler may secure information, receive travel advice, and make arrangements to travel by air, sea or land, to any point in the world for a professional fee.
2. Recommend destinations, products and services best suited to the needs of the client.
