The five must follow Twitter accounts for agents

Ah Twitter. A place for cute gifs, witty remarks, and a certain orange tinted world leader to shout into the void.

We know its good for getting your business out there and having a laugh, but did you know it’s also a great source of information for travel agents?

Well, now you do. Check out this list of great accounts to follow and keep yourself informed and entertained. Who knew you could have both?
