A5: Gone from being the exotic and mystical gatekeepers to the world, to kicked to the curb by an ungrateful public who thought they could save a few bucks, back to being appreciated as the artists and magicians they are. #TWchats https://t.co/Z01Ro0wz5L

A5: @travelagewest From FAM trips to our very own HAL Academy, travel agents have more access to resources that help immerse them in the destinations & vacations they're selling. We couldn't be more thankful for our extremely dedicated and hard-working travel partners. #TWChats

A5: Our travel agents have evolved into true travel advisors, and not just order takers. It's less about the nuts and bolts of travel, and more about the experiences.

A5: Without the Internet, travel agents were the main way to book your travels. But with more DIY booking, travel agents have evolved into advisors & consultants! Their expert knowledge on various destinations helps simplify the planning process. (Valerie in the 80s!) #twchats

A5: Travel Agents have always been helpful to our customers. Agents can help you by offering some advice on a trip or fully planning an adventure. 🚙 We have some tips for those that prefer to plan it all on their own: https://t.co/RvA4NciZda #TWChats
