5 Benefits of Using A Travel or Tour Agent
First, let’s define What is a Travel Agent?
Is a private retailer or public service that provides travel and tourism-related services to the general public on behalf of accommodation or travel suppliers to offer different kinds of travelling packages for each destination.
Can provide outdoor recreation activities, airlines, car rentals, cruise lines, hotels, railways, travel insurance, package tours, insurance, guide books, VIP airport lounge access, arranging logistics for luggage and medical items delivery for travellers upon request, public transport timetables, car rentals, and bureau de change services.

With hundreds of booking sites at your fingertips, it is still convenient to have a Travel or Tour agent. But even experienced travellers should consider sitting down with a specialist to plan their next adventure.
Basically, travel agents have access to special deals and software that the public don’t. They can build an airfare by piecing together flights from different airlines to create one ticket.

2. Travel is their expertise.
Travel agents are trained to know, understand, and adapt to all different forms of travel. Between new airlines and add on options, there is a lot to juggle when planning a vacation. You trust an expert with other important aspects of your life you need help with, why would travel be any different? Travel agents are professional vacation planners. They know where to go, what to do, who to do it with. Some have even been doing it so well and for so long, they can tell you who gives the best tours or what waiter you want at the Italian restaurant.

3. Stress Free
Flights, renting a car, hotels, family activities, romantic dinners, museum trips and more, there is a lot that has to go into planning a great vacation. It all has to be planned perfectly, and even then it may not run smoothly. Saving stress is one of the best benefits of using a travel agent. A vacation is supposed to be stress-free, make sure planning it is as well.

4. Get 24-hour help
When you book with a travel agent there will always be help available should you need it. Your travel agent’s emergency travel experts are available 24/7, 365 days a year to provide around-the-clock support for you, ensuring you’re never alone no matter where you find yourself.
This makes a travel agent your ultimate travel partner, helping you to determine the best options in the event of a long delay, cancellation, safety or security risk or sudden change in plans.

5. Save time
To plan and book your own trip you have to set aside hours of time you might not have. There’s so much information out there it’s hard to know what’s important and you can easily miss a key detail. A travel agent will manage your most valuable and non-renewable asset: your time.
