| Why
Use A Travel Agent? |
 |
We are travel agents.
We are sometimes called a travel counsellor, or a
travel professional. We use our knowledge of destinations, resorts,
escorted tours, cruise ships, air travel and attractions to
‘counsel’ clients on the best
choices for their vacation dreams, desires and budgets.
As a travel agent, we add value.
Think of us as you would an accountant or a real estate
agent. You can file you own tax return, but those who choose to
use an accountant do so because they recognize that specialized
knowledge pays off. The same goes for a real estate agent. You can
sell your house without an agent, but most don’t because the
absence of that knowledge can result in major problems. While our
role is to match up clients with travel products, it’s always
your interests we represent. If anything goes wrong with your trip,
we are there for you.
Your time is precious.
You have choices today. You can research and book
your trip online. You might even save a couple of dollars. If you’re
just booking a flight from point A to point B, or a car rental,
or a hotel room, go ahead and book it online. We won’t be
offended. You might find that it takes longer than you expected
to find the ‘best price’, and if your
flight is oversold or cancelled you’ll be on your own, but
if you’re a gambler the odds are pretty good you’ll
be OK.
When it comes to your hard-earned vacation time, we
will passionately defend the value of our services. That shiny brochure
with the golden bodies sitting around a glistening pool doesn’t
always tell the whole story. We might know that the pool is under
renovation, the rooms are tired and dated, that on the particular
week of your holiday the place will be packed with drunken college
kids. That might matter to you. That might even be worth many times
the small fee we charge for our services.
Benefit from our knowledge.
Our knowledge offers other benefits. The concierge
who can arrange tickets to anything. That wonderful little restaurant
tucked away in a side street. The seat on the plane with that extra
legroom. These are the kinds of things we learn through our travels
and studies. We are thrilled to share them with you.
We are travel agents.
This is how we make our living, but we won’t
get rich doing this. That’s not our motivation. We love to
travel, see new places, meet new people, and enjoy new sensations.
More than anything, we love the feedback from clients that our knowledge,
care and attention helped them create lasting memories. That’s
worth a lot to them. What is it worth to you?
