Travel agencies act as intermediaries between consumers or corporate clients and travel suppliers — booking airline tickets, hotel accommodations, cruises, tour packages, car rentals, and related travel services. Day-to-day work involves client consultations, itinerary planning, booking through GDS platforms or direct supplier portals, and managing changes or cancellations. Some agencies specialize in leisure, luxury, corporate, group, or destination-specific travel.
Questions to investigate
- Does the agency handle leisure, corporate, group, or specialty travel — or a mix?
- Does the agency collect or hold client funds, deposits, or supplier payments directly?
- Are any ancillary services offered, such as travel insurance sales, tour guiding, or ground transportation?
- What data security measures are in place for client payment and personal information?
