Choosing the right travel firm can mean fewer problems in the long run, so always make sure to take the time to pick a firm that can meet your needs.
Some agencies specialize in certain destinations or types of trips.
So, if you are planning a mountain-climbing trip to Tibet, an agency specializing in Caribbean cruises is probably not the best choice. It is essentially the travel industry's responsibility to provide accurate information to customers. More and more travel agents charge a nonrefundable travel counseling fee or service charge. Under the Regulations, those who do so are required to inform the customer before providing counseling or selling travel services. To be sure, you should find out in advance whether your travel agent charges such fees.
