A Travel Agent represents a travel agency or intermediary that books reservations on behalf of guests. Travel Agent records are centrally maintained in the system and can be associated with reservations to identify the booking source.Travel Agent records are created and maintained by the property's admin team in the system configuration. If a front desk user cannot find a travel agent during a search, they should contact their property administrator to have the record added to the system.
