Can an agency plan a trip with 48 hours' notice?

Highly efficient DMCs can pull off full tour planning in as little as 48 hours' notice, using their local hotel network and ready backup vehicle fleet availability. But expectations really need to be managed tightly about specific hotel availability, because the best-level properties are very often gone, sold out before you even blink.

For last-minute bookings, you need quick decisions and immediate full payment. The agency will instantly lock in the route strictly according to what is available right now, which frequently ends up with premium rates or having to accept other lodging options.
