Why should I use a Travel Agent?
Many people think using a Travel Agent will cost them more money or make their trip more complicated. Did you know that a travel agent can actually save you time and money?
Many travel agents don't charge any fees, and they often know in advance when the lowest fares will be available for cruises, tours, airfares, hotels and more. They also know the best times to visit a destination.
Have you ever tried to change a ticket after it's booked or wonder what to do if a storm or natural disaster occurs right before a trip? Travel agents have the knowledge and experience to help you make the most of your trip. As an added benefit, your travel agent knows you and your preferences and can help make your trip more enjoyable.
According to Trip Savvy, here are the top 10 reasons you should use a travel agent:
- Experience
- Advocate
- Resources
- Convenience
- Relationships
- Save Money
- Added Value
- Better Destinations
- Exclusive Access
- Because Travel Agents are Awesome!
