CORPORATE TRAVEL GUIDE

THE ROLE OF THE
TRAVEL CONSULTANT

W

e all know
the advantages of
online reservations,
e-tickets,
etc., but
there are still many advantages to making
use of Travel Agents and their services
Take advantage of the experience,
knowledge and skills of a Travel Agent
who is, in fact, your personal Travel
Consultant who will ensure that every
journey is a memorable experience.
There are many good reasons why you
should consult a Travel Agent, including
these:
• Reliable Expert The Travel Consultant has the necessary knowledge and
experience to organise trips according to
the personal needs and requirements of
each individual traveller. You will value
the personal touch and the fact that the
Travel Consultant understands and caters to your specific travel needs.
• Efficiency and Service The Travel
Consultant offers a wide range of prod-

ucts and services from a variety of suppliers (tour operators, hotels, airlines, rental
cars, etc.) and will do everything he/she
can to fulfil the needs of the traveller in a
single visit. The Travel Consultant wants
to build a long-term relationship with
you and not just make a one-off sale.
• Simplify the process of organizing
your trip The Travel Consultant will
save you time and money and offer you
peace of mind by relieving the stress of
researching all the details and removing
any worries concerning the organisation
of your trip and your efforts to find the
best available options.
• Adding Value The Travel Consultant provides free advice and can offer
additional services and experiences that
enrich the product (e.g. transport to/
from airport, a personal guide with
minimal additional money, wine and
fruit in the hotel room upon arrival, etc.)
which you will not find so easily on the
Internet.
• Inspiring Confidence The Travel
Consultant inspires confidence, because
he/she is “always with you” and you can
contact him/her directly to help you

solve any problem that you may encounter.
• A recognised professional The
Travel Consultant who is a member
of the Association of Cyprus Travel
Agents (ACTA) is a reliable professional
who attends the training seminars and
professional lectures organised by the
Association. He/she is licensed by the
Cyprus Tourism Organisation and his/
her ACTA membership is recognized as a
guarantee of integrity, competence and a
high standard of service.
ACTA is a member of the European
Travel Agents’ and Tour Operators’ Associations (ECTAA) and of the Cyprus
Chamber of Commerce & Industry
(CCCI).
