Travel agents alive & still seliing and providing service to travelers

The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) recently reported that travel agents (TAs) still sell 51% of all airline tickets, and according to ARC travel agent ticket sales are growing faster than those sold by online agencies. Travel agents sell 87% of all cruises, 81% of all tours, 45% of all car rentals and 47% of all hotel stays.
