WHY USE A TRAVEL AGENT?

Today, with the overwhelming number of sources for travel information, it’s no wonder the consumer is confused.  The internet is a minefield of paid-for listings; the new tools and apps available are overwhelming; and increased access to travel information on-line is confusing at best.

Travel agents are advocates for the traveler.  In today’s world, that is more important than ever!!  We are versatile travel experts who have your back.  And we add value to our clients by managing their most valuable asset, their time.  

The best thing a travel agent can do is match up a traveler with the vacation that’s right for them.  We have access and resources and connections that would take the average traveler a lifetime to build or sift through on-line.

There is no extra cost to use a travel agent.  Pricings aren’t increased to you.  In fact, it is likely you will get more competitive and lower pricing through a travel agent due to those connections mentioned above!

Here are just some of the value-add services we will provide to you:

1.  Sorting through the product information.  We undergo continous education with suppliers in order to become familiar with their products.  

2.  Investigating and sharing competitive information.  No single supplier is going to advise you (the consumer) that a better route or a better fare is available on a competing carrier or with another vendor.

3.  Keeping current on the most current and timely promotions.  Via daily agent-only emails and our relationships with our suppliers districts sales teams, we get the most current promotional information.

4.  Analying all the current promotions we get daily.  The cheapest is not always the best.

5.  Clarifying the fine print, such as cancellation penalties and restrictions.  We can save you money and headaches!

6.  Making recommendations for options suitable for you.

7.  We are a one-stop shop, able to provide arrangements for travelers for air, rental cars, cruise accommodations, all-inclusive packages, land packages, hotel stays- with suggestions that are in your best interest- not the supplier.

8.  Enhancing the trip with value added benefits and amenities.  We get special deals at times that we pass on to you!

9.  When you need some clout or buying power- we are more likely to obtain the best possible over an individual consumer.

10.  Getting problems resolved: we are your advocate.

Bottom Line?  Travel agents are really the only unbiased travel professionals who work for you.  Experience, constant industry interaction, and reservation systems make travel agents the only reliable source to design and arrange that adventure of a lifetime for you- out of the fluctuating and often confusing mass travel options. We look forward to working with you to plan your next adventure!
