In my home country a good travel agent would belong to the ABTA which stands for the Association of British Travel Agents. They would also be ATOL protected. That gives back the money to tourists if the airline goes out of business. At the end of 2008 a particukat airline stopped trading. Many tourists were left stranded and those with ATOL protection got flown home on other airlines free of charge. When I went to South Africa I booked with an excellent airline and got a very high standard of travel insurance.
