I have been a travel consultant for 27 years. My favorite trips to plan are to the beach in Mexico or the Caribbean, including honeymoons, anniversaries and destination weddings. I am experienced in corporate incentive trips as well. I have also earned my Mickey ears and am a certified Disney agent. On vacation you will find me on the beach or exploring the vineyards in California.

How to Choose a Travel Agency

HOW TO CHOOSE A TRAVEL AGENCY

Choosing a travel agency can be a daunting task at times. Choose one like you would a doctor or lawyer. Get advice from friends and relatives who use an agent they trust, check online reviews and verify credentials. Since travel choices are personal decisions that reflect individual desires and lifestyles, you will want to visit or call several agencies to find the one that best suits your needs. 

Consider everything, including the agent’s willingness to listen and answer questions, make suggestions, offer advice, and make the trip planning as relaxing as the trip itself. The best agents want to establish long-term relationships with a client, not just make one sale.

Your vacation is an investment, you want someone with experience and the knowledge to make your vacation exactly what you dreamed it would be. 

BENEFITS OF USING A TRAVEL AGENCY

A good agency will have experienced agents who offer personalized service, making the client feel like they are the only client. Planning a trip can be confusing and time-consuming. An experienced agent not only arranges the various modes of transportation but also may be able to save you money with early booking discounts, special fares, and negotiated rates. Arrangements can also be tailored to suit vacation objectives, personal interests, and budget concerns.

Most consumers consider customer service a vital part of the trip-planning process. Choose an agent who has your needs in mind, who is beside you every step of the planning process, and who will stand behind you should something go wrong.

TOP 3 REASONS TO HIRE A TRAVEL AGENT

1. Expertise

Your travel agent brings you destination expertise, all-in-one package deals, and exclusive specials and promotions. Working with a professional can be a relief, as they can help you determine your budget and options.

2. Savings

Think a travel agent is too expensive? Think again. Rather than paying more for your vacation, you are likely to pay less and get more. A good travel agent is your advocate and puts your interests first. 

3. Peace of mind

Finally, your travel agent is there for you before, during, and after your trip. So, where have you been considering? A tropical island? Mexico? A Mediterranean cruise or tour of Europe? Simplify your decision-making by contacting your travel agent today.
