I believe the 2 best criteria for selecting an agent or specialist are:
1. Someone that makes themselves accessible at any time to research/plan & book travel. Having an agent that is generally not accessible leads to unanswered questions and unnecessary confusion.
2. Someone with credibility and honesty. Having an agent that can say "been there, done that" and that can prove it is re-assuring. Having an agent that is looking out for your best interests is important. As an example, if one were to refer a person to the internet to book air travel as it is less expensive than going thru a travel agency, then I would consider the agent is looking out for my best interests. The same goes for an agent that provides options or alternatives.
IMHO.
