Damian Hickey, Vice President, Asia Pacific and Global Sales Strategy, Air Commerce at Travelport, said, “In our recently launched Global Digital Traveler Research, we see that over 70% of travelers globally still look to travel professionals, like travel agents, for recommendations before making travel bookings. In APAC, it is 80% of all travelers. This demonstrates the continuing relevance of the travel professionals in travelers’ journeys.”
