W: Hi, Mike, where did you spend your winter holiday this year?
M: I went to Greece for a holiday trip. It was fantastic. And I had to book a package tour beforehand.

M: Secrets? I’d love to. I never thought about that before.
W: There are some secrets that travel agents will never let its customers know.(1)I will share with you something about package tours.
M: I felt comfortable with package tours before. How about your secrets?
W: Since almost everything is included in a package tour,(1)travel agents end up getting a percentage of your meals, water sports and drinks — not just air and hotel costs.
M: Really? How much do they get from the client?
W: Typically,(2)commissions that travel agents get range from 10% to 15% of a client’s total expense.
M: 10 to 15%? That’s a lot of money. Next time I may bargain over the money I pay a travel agent.
W: You know, that’ll be a hard nut to crack. They have to survive on commissions, right?
M: (3)Yes, it sounds reasonable to me.
W: But, it doesn’t end there.(1)Travel agents get other incentives from hotels, restaurants and other facilities in resorts,(4)like gift checks to barbecues to a free night’s stay.
