In the world of travel, there are many moving parts and players that work together to create unforgettable experiences for clients. One important player in this ecosystem is the representation firm, also known as a rep firm or company. These firms act as a liaison between travel advisors and their clients, and the various suppliers and partners around the world. They help to bridge the gap and ensure that the right connections are made, resulting in seamless and exceptional travel experiences.
