If you're travel agent, you have to know everything about destination, but the basic thing is to know about hotel quality, about hotel vacancies.

It's also good to know which kind of people would like to spend their holiday at such a place.

It's not the same if the destination is famous family destination or destination for young people.....

Local Area Information (Tours/Attractions)
