Why Work with a Travel Professional?
Your time is precious.
Do you have hours to spend on your computer Googling information about adults-only resorts with swim-up bars in Riviera Maya, comparing your results with Trip Advisor, and inquiring on Facebook for suggestions? If not, you are like most of the clients I work with. Planning a vacation can require a great deal of time spent on the internet, and this is time that you can be spending with family or having fun. My job is using my time to help clients find their perfect vacations and working closely with them to find a great match.
You like the idea of professional expertise.
As agents, we are constantly receiving notifications for promotions and specials, attending training seminars, completing course work, meeting with our vendors, viewing webinars, traveling on agent-only familiarization trips, and traveling for fun. All of this knowledge and dedication to our profession will benefit you in many ways.
You are a newbie traveler. / You are an experienced traveler.
Are you a first-time international traveler unsure about the process and procedure of navigating the world? Are you looking to make arrangements for your first cruise or stay at an all-inclusive resort? Setting out on your first adventure can be daunting, and I can ease your mind by helping you through each step. Passports, how customs and immigration will flow, booking good flight times, when to travel, what to pack, recommended activities and excursions...these are all aspects of your plans that I am happy to guide you through. Experienced travelers like using agents for the other reasons listed here, but also to find new experiences/destinations/etc. to enjoy.
You feel overwhelmed.
If you search for "resorts in Riviera Maya", Google will offer you 1,800,000 results. If you Google "best cruise line", you will see a list of 6,600,000 results. Yikes. That is where a helpful travel agent can shine. Where should you go? When should you go? How much money does travel actually cost? I will answer your questions and help you make vacation plans that work for you.
You want to make sure your money is well-spent.
Traveling can be a costly adventure, so make sure you are getting a great value. You want to use the most respected and reputable tour companies, stay at tried-and-true resorts, cruise on a line that caters to your amenities, and partake in activities that are really fitting for your destination. I am in-the-know and will make sure you are getting the best experience for your budgeted dollar.
You are coordinating vacation plans with a group.
Coordinating group travel is a huge undertaking, and most people do not have a thorough understanding of what it actually entails. Obtaining quotes, securing group space, reserving meeting space, paying deposits, paying finals, arranging group excursions, distributing documentation, booking flights, and handling insurance are aspects of plans that most people don't want to do for their OWN vacation, let alone for many more vacations at one time.
You don't want to pay someone extra money to plan your vacation.
Guess what? No fees! You will pay exactly what you would pay working directly with the tour company, cruise line, resort, etc. but have the benefit of a bonded and insured travel professional taking care of the details. Clients always wonder how I make my living - I explain that whoever we are working with for your vacation views us as a sort of "temporary employee" while completing a booking and funnels some of the money to us in the form of commission. It in NO WAY is passed along to you.
You want to feel cared for.
To the internet, you are just a query. To a booking site, you are just money. To me, you are someone looking to make memories with loved ones and I want to do as much as possible to ensure that your vacation plans are exactly what you are hoping for. A large portion of my client base are repeat clients and referrals - the testimonials some of my clients have kindly submitted really illustrate how much I care for the travelers I work for.
