We hear over and over again how a travel agent is not beneficial to us because of the internet age. However, I beg to differ. Travel Agents specialize in a variety of destinations with all different types of travel. I have my niche and we are all in touch with other agents that may specialize in different types of travel.
Our experience from different online trainings and actual site inspections set us a part from online booking engines. The one on one contact alone is enough to prove that we care for our clients well being. The time and patience that we put into each individual booking is what we definitely specialize in. We actually care!!
I am not going to list the numerous ways that we are beneficial. If you find a travel specialist that meets your needs and provides you the care you need when it comes to planning your vacation don’t forget to spread the word. After all, referrals is what helps to keep the business going.
If you feel that we are not beneficial, that is okay. There are millions of people that use the online booking engines to plan their vacations everyday. Just please understand that there is no way possible that they can give you the same attention that we can, but hey, to each it’s own!!
My agency specializes in group travel, cruises and island vacations. Planning a group through an online booking engine pose many problems for the average consumer. If you book with my agency we are there for you from the beginning to the end. We offer low deposits and payment plans. We will create a flyer for your group to hand out or post on social media websites, we will create a group page for your group on a social media site such as Facebook or provide you with an online website to send your potential guests. These are things that the average booking engine will not supply! Oh and let’s not forget to mention that we DO NOT charge a fee!
When it comes to planning your next vacation, don’t forget that using a travel agent not only benefits you and your family, you are also helping a small business grow.
