Until now, advice was free in almost all travel agencies and arranging package holidays was almost never associated with costs due to the commissions. However, when booking other services, such as flight tickets, most agencies charge a fee. Now the DER travel agencies are moving ahead and generally making advice subject to a fee. While package holidays are a reliable mainstay, tourism professionals working in a wide variety of agencies have observed a phenomenon in recent years: customers have sought advice from travel agencies, had hotels shown to them and so on. But then they have booked online with low-cost airlines and through booking portals. This is of course not forbidden, because comparing prices and simply finding out about the offer does not mean that you are obliged to buy. The crisis is now leading many travel agencies to consider flat-rate advice fees. If the customer does not buy anything, these should at least cover the personnel costs. Many are still struggling with the decision, but the DER travel agencies are now moving ahead and have announced that two paid advice packages are being introduced. If the travel price is up to 500 euros, DER charges a fee of 15 euros. From 501 euros, 30 euros are due. This is the service fee for the basic package, which according to the statement includes, among other things, individual travel components, price comparisons, entry information, use of the app with a contact function for the consultant and a luggage tag. However, if, for example, seat reservations are to be made, special requests are to be made to hotels, the electronic travel documents are to be handed out on paper or approvals are to be obtained, 500 euros are charged for orders up to 34 euros. From 501 euros, the Plus package costs even more.
