The Value of Travel Agents Why use a Travel Agent? Sure I could spout off ASTA's (American Society of Travel Agents) 10 top reasons why you should use a Travel Agent. However, I will not. I am here to tell you that it is perfectly acceptable to get on the internet and research your upcoming trip. You don't want to travel blind. There is a lot of interesting and informative information on every spot on earth on the internet. However, I am going to tell you that when you have questions that the internet cannot provide, when the internet gives you 3 varying opinions, or when you are ready to book the vacation. Call a travel professional.
Why? Because a good travel consultant is just that; a consultant. We love to travel just like you. We know the ins and outs. We can help you sort through the masses of information on the internet. When you are in the middle of a vacation and something comes up, we are a phone call or e-mail away. There is no 30 minute hold on the line to get to the next available associate. Most of us are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The same caring person you talked to and booked your vacation with.
Can you get lower pricing on the Internet? Sometimes. If saving $25 dollars is more of a value than peace of mind, then have at it. Be honest, when calling a travel consultant. We know you've searched. If we quote you a price and you found it lower on the internet. Be forward, ask the travel associate why you should book with them when you can find the cost lower on the internet. A good consultant will tell you why; value, experience and professionalism.
We want you to have the best vacation you have ever had. Again and again. With us. Choose an experienced consultant who asks questions, who plans YOUR vacation, not theirs. |
