Travel Experts owner Susan Ferrell has been an industry leader for 20 years creating an agency consisting solely of independent travel consultants. Susan and Travel Experts, Inc. have been featured in many travel industry publications espousing their advanced approach of "the notion that independent agents are the best agents". While the concept of a fee based agency to cover administrative overhead was virtually unheard of 18 years ago, it is fast becoming the first choice for high volume travel consultants. The concept described by Ferrell in a recent publication states "Our independents rent their space from us much like realtors. They are self-motivated and attuned to customer service because they have a higher stake in the business. They are go-getters with clients nationwide. Their clients value their commitment and return time after time." Travel Experts Raleigh office employs a support staff of 26 to assist 96 consultants throughout the country. Travel Experts is a member of the travel industry professional organization, ASTA, as well as providing coverage in the industrys professional liability insurance program.
