Original: Travel Agents Are Back—and They’re Basically Influencers With Better Connections

Travel agents are experiencing a revival, according to ELLE, which describes them as 'basically influencers with better connections.' The piece suggests that after years of self-serve online booking, travellers are once again turning to professional agents for insider access, deals and curated itineraries. The agents' social-media savvy and industry relationships are said to set them apart from algorithms.

Why now: Rising travel demand and frustration with online booking are driving renewed interest in professional travel agents.
