The vast majority – 97% – of respondents to the TTG poll said they believe there is a case for implementing accreditation for travel agents, although there is considerable disagreement over how such a system should work.
Of 152 votes, 79% (121) said yes, agreeing "professional credibility is at stake", while a further 19% (29) agreed accreditation was needed while cautioning it "shouldn't be too stern a barrier to entry".
Just 2% said there should be better access to basic training without accreditation, while only 1% felt things were "fine as they are".
