Shout out for the unseen and unpaid work Travel Agents do !
I would like to extend my thoughts to others like myself working in the retail travel industry. I am sure that we would all agree that we are here for our clients and it is our clients needs that come first. We are the ones dealing with the airlines, saving clients time and unnecessary worry about what is happening. We are also the ones negotiating with tour operators, cruise lines and other third parties such like, to achieve a fair resolution. Believe me this is not an easy task and in times like this, for those who still can't see the value of working with a travel agent, I wish them the best of luck.
