Although travel agents have access to all of the same outlets you would use when looking to book travel, they also have access to exclusive pricing and package deals that are most times not available to the public. Your travel agent also has more leverage in helping out in situations such as hotels claiming to be booked, when in fact they may still have rooms available that are on hold for travel agents reservations. So when everyone else is telling you “No” your travel agent can help turn that to a “Yes.”

Travel Agent Says Dr. Chao Yi, Vice Chairman, Eastern Multimedia Group, We are very excited about our alliance with Cendant, and together with its diverse and globally recognized travel brands, we are poised to attain leadership in the dynamic travel industry in this region. Our complementary strengths will ensure that holiday travelers in Taiwan will be able to travel to dream destinations and resorts. At the same time, our efforts will contribute significantly to domestic tourism in Taiwan by attracting overseas visitors.
