Travel Advisor — Commission & Markup Pricing

Industry front door for pricing-strategy. Adds domain triggers, example, packs only. Parent Process unchanged. Not legal advice. Disclose fees per applicable state law and card-network rules.

Activate when: setting planning fees vs commission; deciding markup on net rates; "should I charge a fee or rely on commission?"; pricing a service tier; low-commission or non-commissionable components. Do NOT activate when: fixed franchise pricing you can't change.

Why this variant

The parent pricing-strategy captures value by aligning price to willingness-to-pay and cost-to-serve. Travel advisors have a hybrid model — supplier commission + planning fees + markups — and mispricing (relying only on commission) leaves the planning labor unpaid on complex, low-commission trips.

Domain inputs → parent's Process

• Separate commission (paid by supplier) from fee (paid by client for expertise/time).
• Charge planning fees where cost-to-serve is high or components are non-commissionable (many airline tickets, some direct rates).
• Tier by complexity/value, not by trip cost alone.
• Decide markup vs net-plus-fee transparency per client segment.
