Good travel agency will do miracles for their clients and they do not have 1-3 contract hotels to support difficult situations like airlines have. Travel agency is able to find you any hotel in the area when airline will only use their partner hotels. Of course the room will be more expensive through travel agency but that is the reason for travel insurance.
Hmmm, I really wish I could see my travel agency in action, in real life situation. Most probably my expectations are too high.
