Commissionable rate

Meaning in tourism & hospitality, with examples

nounAdvanced term

In tourism & hospitality, commissionable rate means: A hotel rate on which the property agrees to pay commission to a travel agency, agent, or other intermediary.

In Turkish: komisyon ödenen fiyat

How it is used

Used in agency contracts, GDS bookings, and partner communications to distinguish payable rates from net or non-commissionable ones.

Example sentences

  1. The agency preferred the commissionable rate because it allowed standard payment terms without changing the guest's room category.

    Here the term identifies the rate basis that includes agency earnings, which affects how the booking is settled commercially.

  2. When the reservation arrived through the GDS, the accounting team checked whether the selected rate was commissionable before posting payment.

    In this example, it determines whether a commission must be calculated and paid for that specific booking.

Common collocations

  • commissionable rate code
