Why hire a travel agent?
When you work with a travel agent you will realize you never want to plan another vacation again on your own. I know many people love to plan travel as a hobby as I used to do. When I transitioned into the travel industry professionally as a travel agent I quickly realized “you don’t know what you don’t know”. Believe me, I now have a greater knowledge and appreciation for this profession. The professional connections and relationships I have built allow me exclusive access to suppliers and experiences that are not available to the general public. Please read on to learn the top 10 reasons to hire a travel agent.
Top 10 Reasons to Hire a Travel Agent
1. Relationship Building
As a travel agent I believe in building long-lasting relationships with my clients. Over time, I learn your preferences and can provide recommendations that are tailored to your wish list.
2. Personalized Travel Design
I take the time to listen and to understand your interests, travel style and preferences. I design custom itineraries to meet your every desire to ensure a unique travel experience. I believe in finding that “Wow” moment you will never find on google when designing your itinerary.
3. Save Time and Peace of Mind
Planning a trip can be very time-consuming and stressful, especially if you have never been to the destination or it is a complex itinerary. I will handle all the details including the research, all of your bookings, and coordinating your travel. This allows you to focus on normal daily life and be your best self once you arrive at your destination.
4. Expertise
I have traveled extensively myself and have firsthand knowledge and experience in many destinations. If I don’t know a destination, I have access to a team of professionals that can provide me with the knowledge I need to create the perfect itinerary.
5. Curation of Experiences
I firmly believe that travel is about experiences. Travel creates beautiful memories, expands our minds, and intensifies emotions. I will tailor a trip to your interests and find authentic one-of-a-kind experiences for you.
6. Up to Date Information
Travel is constantly changing, and I stay up to date and informed on all of the changes in regulations, safety concerns, and trends. I keep a close eye on developments to ensure a safe and seamless travel experience.
7. Travel Budget Management
As a travel agent, I understand that you work hard, and a vacation is an investment. I work within your financial parameters to create a trip that doesn’t compromise on quality.
8. Problem Resolution
If any issues arise during your trip, as your travel agent I have the expertise and the contacts to help navigate unexpected challenges or last-minute trip modifications.
9. Group Travel Coordination
It can be overwhelming to book a group trip. I will handle the coordination with all of the travelers and ensure that everyone’s needs and preferences are considered.
10. VIP Treatment
I am a member of Virtuoso, which is a luxury consortium. This gives me access to the top brands around the world and allows me to pass on exclusive perks to you, as many of these are not available to the general public. Many of these perks include room upgrades, additional amenities at the hotel, experience credits and so much more.
