Commission and Fam Trips

Travel Agent Commissions
The World Outdoors pays commissions to travel agents when the agent has made the initial contact with The World Outdoors. We like to reward travel agents for finding and bringing new clients to us.

We do not pay commissions when your client has already been in contact with us and subsequently asks you to reserve the tour with us.

The World Outdoors' standard commission is 10%. Please note that your commission is based on the trip price only. No commission is earned for single room supplements, surcharges, equipment rentals, pre-or post-trip lodging or transfer services.

Trip Payments
We recommend that final trip payments be made by an agency check. This will allow you to deduct your commission directly from the balance due and receive your commission before your client departs. If you choose to pay by credit card, your commission will be paid to you by check promptly upon completion of the trip.

Travel Agent Fam Discounts
We encourage you to experience the Magic of The World Outdoors by joining any one of our tours. This is the best way to learn about our unique style of travel. All travel agents who have an official IATAN card qualify for a Fam Discount. Please call us for details regarding any specific trip

We will confirm your discount 30 days prior to departure based on space availability. Please note that we do not offer companion discounts, but your agency will receive a 10% commission for registering an additional client(s) when an agent joins a World Outside Fam Tour.

Subsequently, you must sell a minimum of five trips to qualify for a Fam Discount again. In addition, you will be required to complete and submit a post fam Trip Evaluation.

Taking over an Existing Reservation
The World Outdoors will not allow you to take over an existing reservation.
