I just joined as an rta.

Ed,

Great Question.

Before I answer your question, we highly recommend that you attend a YTB RTA Meeting. Many of these details are covered there.

Now to your answer: Yes, you will receive a commission if you book ANY hotels through your YTB travel portal. Keep in mind that YTB will retain 40% of the commission. You will retain 60% of that commission.

If you want the wholesale pricing, you'll want to negotiate with the hotel (keep in mind this is a travel 'perk', not a travel 'right', so the hotel may say, "NO")

You'l be negotiating a "travel professional discount" (these are the the words we recommend)
