Cheapest Hotel Room Rates Go to Agents

One expert argues that the travel and tourism industry treats travel agents like “royalty.” The industry relies upon agents for a significant share of its overall business and does its very best to keep agents on its good side. Treating an agent like a VIP improves the chances of that agent sending business back to a given hotel property--at a much higher rate than the one extended to the “insider.”
 
So, if you are looking for the cheapest hotel room rates, become a travel agent. It’s that simple.
 
That may sound ridiculous, but it really isn’t.
