Why book with a Travel Advisor?

While online booking sites may offer convenience, using a travel advisor can provide significant value, especially for more complex or personalized vacations. 

 Here is why you should consider using a Travel Advisor –

• Time Savings:  Planning a trip, especially one with multiple destinations, flights, and accommodations, can be incredibly time consuming.  We do the research, compare options, and handle all the booking logistics for you, freeing up your time, which is valuable.

• Expertise and Knowledge: We are professionals with extensive knowledge of destinations, travel trends, and the industry.  We offer insights you might not find online, recommend hidden gems, and advise on things like local customs, necessary visas, and travel insurance.

• Personalized Service and Tailored Experiences: We will take the time to understand your preferences, budget, and travel style to craft a custom itinerary that perfectly suits your needs.  We can create unique experiences that go beyond what a generic online search might offer.

• Access to Exclusive Deals and Perks: Due to our industry connections and relationships with hotels, airlines, and tour operators, we often have access to exclusive deals, discounts, upgrades (like room upgrades or onboard credits), and special amenities that aren't available to the general public.

• Stress Reduction: From the initial planning stages to handling unforeseen issues during your trip, we can, and will, do our best to significantly reduce the stress of planning a vacation.  We can manage last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or other emergencies, acting as your advocate, and troubleshooting problems so you don't have to.

• Troubleshooting and Support: If something goes wrong during your trip (e.g., a delayed flight, a hotel overbooking), we are your point of contact.  We can quickly address issues and find solutions, saving you frustration and time on hold with customer service lines.

• Complex Itineraries: For trips with multiple stops, different modes of transportation, or special requirements (like group travel), we can expertly coordinate all the details to ensure a seamless experience.

• Peace of Mind: Knowing that a professional has handled all the arrangements and is available to assist you if anything goes awry, provides invaluable peace of mind, allowing you to relax and enjoy your trip.  We are here for you 24/7/365!

 While some people prefer the DIY approach to travel planning, using our services can be a worthwhile investment for those who value convenience, expertise, personalized service, and a stress-free travel experience.  Working with us is added value, for we offer expert advice, have access to special deals and occasional upgrades, and some exclusive perks that might not be available when booking directly.  We offer loyalty and referral programs.  We survive off your business and your referrals.  When booking with us, in some cases, the base cost of travel is the same as if you did it yourself; the true value of working with us comes in the form of expertise, support, exclusive benefits, and the convenience that booking directly simply can’t provide.
