One hundred respondents were considered. Results of the study showed that majority of the respondents were female who were college graduates. Most of them were travel agency clerks that earned 5,000 to 10,000 per month and had been working for one year to five years. The level of satisfaction on compensation and benefit was moderate. Also, there was no significant difference in the level of compensation and benefits of travel professionals when analyzed according to sex, educational attainment, job position, income, length of service and training. The researchers recommended that travel professionals should accept the reality that working on a travel agency it only provides minimum wage. Likewise, travel agency employers should explain the compensation and benefit scheme of the business in order for the employees to be aware on the salary scheme imposed.
