In the technology age of find it quick and easy on-line, you may be thinking:
Why should I use a travel agent ?
Here are some reasons to think about:
1. Who will you Call?
What would you do if the hotel has lost your reservation?
What would you do if the car rental agency has run out of cars?
Specifically, who are you going to call? Who's going to help you? The hotel? The car rental company? They don't care.
You're just one person. Losing you as a guest or a customer is no big deal. Basically, you're on your own.
About all you can do is hit the streets and hope that something comes up...or look for a place to connect your laptop.
If you book through a travel agent, make one simple phone call and I will do the searching and get you moving.
2. It is not just about price
By asking tons of questions up front, an agent can provide a relevant needs assessment.
This can include dates, quality or location of accommodation or stateroom, cancellation policy, recreational amenities, etc.
Sometimes your travel agent will get you something you can't get, room upgrade, onboard cruise credit, car rental etc.
3. Show me the Money (I saved)
One can save a ton of money and be miserable or spend a little more to be in heaven.
A travel agent can recommend relevant offerings and also provide cost saving strategies.
Moving a date, changing the location of a room/cabin, being open to flight options, etc., all can save money.
Nobody wants to pay more than necessary so an agent will help you find the best value without the sacrifices of a cheap trip.
4. I already have a Job!
Why spend hours planning your trip, let someone else do the work and get packing !
Remember, most agents, do not charge a fee. I do not charge a fee.
The companies pay travel agents to evaluate the customers needs and send clients to them,
so the client is happy and you are right where you want to be.
Your agent might be working with car rental companies, hotels and airlines that you don't have access to.
An agent is someone who has taken the time to be the best !
You don't have to make planning your vacation a second job!
