Do Travel Agents Really Save You Money

With a few keystrokes, you can find cheap travel deals on the web.

But travel agents, believe it or not, have access to information unavailable to you to get better deals. They obtain much of their information from the same sources as the booking sites we use. Additionally, they receive daily deals via e-mails and faxes that cannot always be found on the Internet.

Travel agents also can make phone calls and have direct communication with resorts and hotels to bargain for better deals.
