What is a travel agent and why do I need one?

Travel agents provide an invaluable, and often free service, to ensure that your vacation, honeymoon, destination wedding, corporate incentive, etc. is the vacation trip of your dreams. If something does go wrong, you have someone to call, text, or email who is in your corner and can contact airlines, resorts, or tour companies on your behalf. Make sure whoever you work with has the appropriate certificates. And to ensure you hire a travel agent or agency with great pricing, make sure and check their reviews on Google, Facebook, and other services.
