Why Use a Travel Agent?
The Best Travel Agents Save You Time and Money!
In today's busy world, we serve the needs of busy people who want to have a great experience and have all their needs looked after, but do not want to take the time to sort through racks of brochures and sit in a traditional type travel agency trying to figure out all the details. We talk to you, listen carefully to your needs, work with you when its convenient for you, while you're driving to work, between appointments, in the evening, on weekends and holidays-whenever you feel like talking.
With all of today's options to book your travel needs, why should you go through a travel agent?
Here's why:
Your On-Going Advocate
Your travel agent is your planning consultant but he or she is also your advocate in the event of last-minute changes, cancellations or problems that may arise.
Complete, Non-Biased Information
Travel agents have complete access to all airlines and travel suppliers, unlike some websites that only provide limited information on specific products.
Bring You the Best Value
We offer the best travel value possible by providing you with accurate information on your choices, special promotions and quality. We help you get the best value for your travel dollar, and compare several different options in order to get you the best price. If the cruise line, resort or tour supplier lowers the price prior to final payment, we will go back to them and request that you get the lower price or upgrade because we want you to get the best deal. Lastly, there is no fee for our service and our prices are generally lower than those you may find on the internet.
Travel Agents Build Relationships
Travel agents build long-term relationships with their clients, similar to accountants, lawyers or financial planners. A travel agent becomes very familiar with your business model and adapts to meet your growing and changing travel needs.
Knowledge Goes Beyond the Basics
It takes quite a bit of training and skills to be the best travel agent. We continuously update and improve our skills by taking Destination Specialist courses and attending seminars to make sure we're always on top of this ever-changing industry. We also travel ourselves so that we are familiar with the products we are selling. We use our knowledge, skills, training and personal experiences to help you choose the best cruise line, resort or destination for your vacation.
Your Personal Information is Safe, Secure and Stored to Save You Time
Travel agents have had a secure profile organization system for decades. Your personal information such as your travel memberships, your payment details, etc... is stored in their secure database and can be retrieved for each reservation saving you time and effort.
Bring Clarity to Confusion
Travel agents have been dealing with the complexities of the travel industry for years. Agents are very well versed with all the rules and regulations which can save you time and money. Travel agents also manage your unused tickets that can be applied toward future travel arrangements. They monitor these credits and advise you if and when they can be used.
Enhance Your Travel Experience
Travel agents have the ability to upgrade the status of frequent or VIP corporate traveler so they may enjoy the benefits of seating, upgrades and priority waitlist clearance, etc...
