Resort Consultants focus on advising clients about specific resort properties, amenities, and packages, often working directly with resorts and hospitality providers. Travel Agents assist clients in planning entire trips, including flights, accommodations, and activities, often working with multiple suppliers. While both roles require customer service skills and industry knowledge, Resort Consultants specialize in resort-specific expertise, whereas Travel Agents provide broader travel planning services.
