What is Expedia TAAP’s Dynamic Hotel Commissions Program? • On April 1, 2017 Expedia TAAP will be replacing the current Expedia TAAP hotel commissions payment model, i. e. ESR, EEM, & GDS • The new Expedia hotel commissions payment model will be truly dynamic • Expedia TAAP’s new Dynamic Hotel Commissions Program will provide travel agents with the opportunity to maximize the hotel commissions they earn with Expedia TAAP • Other TAAP Lo. B’s will continue to be paid at their current commission percentages, i. e. activities, cars, & packages

Dynamic Hotel Commissions Program Benefits • With the introduction of dynamic hotel commissions, travel agents’ earning goals will be better aligned with Expedia TAAP • The new hotel commission tiers have been defined to ensure commission parity if you continue to book at the same TAAP hotel production you had booked in 2016 • However if you modify your hotel booking patterns, i. e. hotel supplier, room type, rate plan, etc. , travel agents will potentially have the ability to earn more than you did with TAAP’s previous hotel commission program • TAAP’s new dynamic hotels commissions will pay the same commission whether the booking is an Expedia Collect or Hotel Collect booking

Dynamic Hotel Commission Levels The new US TAAP standard level hotel commission payment model: • Is based upon several factors at time of booking, i. e. hotel supplier, trip dates, availability, room rate plans, etc. • Is not based upon a specific property type Commission Tiers Standard Level* Premium Plus 11% Premium 9% Basic Plus 7% Basic 3%
