Do travel agents still exist? Why would anyone want to use a travel agent when we have access to so many websites online? These questions have been asked many times over the years and until becoming a Certified Travel Agent, I was also asking some of these same questions! Yes, we still exist and there are many benefits to using Travel Agents. With so many websites to choose from, the internet can be a bit overwhelming for many seeking to find that perfect destination! It can become quite confusing and a bit frustrating. This can be eliminated by contacting a travel agent to assist you with your trip!
My role as your travel agent is to qualify you and get to know your desires in order to match you with your best fit! I am aware of special promotions, new travel products and trends, and can provide a variety of options. Many people don’t know that you do not have to pay extra to use a travel agent. In fact, I can actually SAVE YOU MONEY! I am trained to work with suppliers to find the best possible deal and make sure you receive the best value for your money!
Still not convinced? Well let’s see if any of these reasons will help…
Value~I have access to numerous special promotions that can get you more bang for your buck!
Choice~I provide several options that are narrowed down based on your personal desires of an ideal vacation.
Convenience~I will handle all of the arrangements to make your vacation complete (flights, transports, resort stay, cruise ship, and everything in between; what’s left for you to do other than to PACK?)
Advocate~If something happens during your vacation that wasn’t quite part of the plan, I am
here to handle it for you!
Expertise~I am constantly updating my knowledge of popular destinations, cruise lines, resorts, suppliers and so much more on a regular basis through onsite trainings, webinars, conferences, etc.
Trust~I’ll do my best to make sure your vacation is the best experience you can imagine!
Unbiased~I WORK FOR YOU! I am not employed by travel suppliers. My goal is to match desires to the best destination you can afford!
