Travel agents in US don’t need a special degree or a license and therefore one must be doubly cautious while finding a great travel agent when planning your vacations. A great travel agent will help you make excellent informed choices. Here are some of the qualities required in a great travel agent.

A great travel agent is sensitive to your requirements and needs and will ask you a number of pertinent questions like would you prefer a connecting flight or want a nonstop option, what time of the day would you like to travel, dietary needs, special preferences, need accommodation or rental cars etc before making your booking.

Your travel agent should also make you aware about the different tour packages and options if you are unaware of the destination you are traveling to help you make a right decision. They should not try to cheat you taking advantage of your ignorance.
Check how long a travel agent has been in business and ask for client references before making your bookings.

Remember a great travel agent won’t come for cheap but their advice will be well worth the money spent.
