Is it okay or not to work with host agencies without any reviews on their profile? --Meseret G.2. Is there an advantage to working with a host agency that has a storefront? Could you also please explain what the “Host Type” is on the HAR profiles. What is “Host Only” and what is “Hybrid (Host & Travel Agency)”? It’s my understanding that all host agencies are travel agencies. --Anonymous3. Before I get started with my confusion I would like to tell you what an amazing job you and your team do!!!
