Should I use a Travel Agent?

​What if there was a way that you could input all of your needs and wants for your upcoming vacation without having to deal with the stress of hour-long internet searches and countless blueprints planning your every move? Well then, you may want to consider a travel advisor.

I often get asked the question “Why should I use a travel agent?” Well, here are - in my opinion - the four most important reasons why!

​Enhance your vacation
​I will advise you on how to make the most of the limited time that you will be away, with the budget that you have. Oftentimes I have insight into which locations will fit your desired vacation style, which accommodations can give you the biggest “bang for your buck,” and what activities are offered in the area that you will be traveling to. The great thing about travel advisors is that you can bring me the ideas and requirements you have for your ideal getaway and I will do most of the heavy lifting for you!

I may even be able to offer you special upgrades, travel packages, and VIP access for activities or transportation! Even if we don’t know much about the region of the world you’re going to, we know how to properly research these places and most likely have peers within our agency that we consult with. All in all, this can enhance your trip in a way that you may not be able to do for yourself.

Save Money
Who doesn't want to save a few bucks? There may be a great opportunity for you to save money by using a travel advisor. I have great relationships with my travel partners. Even if there may not be a lower price tag, we are able to include higher value for the same amount of money.

Not only can I save you money and add value to your trip, but I may save you money by helping you to book your trip securely. Using a travel advisor has the added benefit of helping you to weed through common travel scams out there today. You’ve spent so much time dreaming of the perfect vacation, you wouldn’t want it to be stopped by a scam.

More time, less stress
Your time is important, and the way you use it in the weeks and months leading up to a vacation are even more so. There’s a lot of preparation that you need to do before you depart. Having to spend that time continuing to plan up until the last moment not only creates stress but also wastes precious time you could be using somewhere else. Travel advisors will help to alleviate some of this stress and even save you some time by doing the planning for you. I can also save you time after arrival at your destination by pre-booking all of your travel arrangements, such as dining and excursions!

Leave the logistics to me, and rely on your advisor for insight and support every step of the way. Last-minute cancellations, border closures, unexpected changes – we have you covered, now more than ever​.​

Insider knowledge
Pulling from my own travels and relationships with my travel partners around the world, I will answer all of your vacation questions so you are prepared to take advantage of every aspect of your trip. You will get the very best information about your vacation destination.

​All of those Concierge Services are available to you are completely FREE when you book with me! Most travel agencies will charge planning fees for their services. I do not. My agency does charge additional planning fees and I am proud of it. Knowing all this, why WOULDN’T you use a travel agent?

​Next stop, paradise!
