Booking a trip can be stressful. You can spend hours online searching for deals on flights and hotels, going from one website to another to find a reasonable price. According to a recent survey by the I.B.M. Institute for Business Value of 2,000 travelers worldwide, approximately 20 percent said it took them more than five hours to search and book travel online. To avoid the hassle, some consumers are turning to travel agents for complicated travel plans.
Reasons to consider booking your next vacation with a travel agent:
Save time - An agent can save you time by going the glut of information on flight and hotel options to find the right fare at the lowest rate.
Save money -Some people stay away from using a travel agent because they think they'll be charged extra for the agent's services. Some agents do charge additional fees (for example, a $25 fee for their time and research), but most make their commission through the travel suppliers.
Help with selecting trip - Sometimes people don't really know what kind of trip they want. A travel agent can provide a number of suitable options. They can help to build and book the trip.

Knowledge- Flawless travel plans lie in the details, and travel agents are experts when it comes to handling those details.
