If you are on the fence about whether or not it is worth the investment to work with a travel agent for your next trip…

All things considered, since there are thousands of websites and mobile apps available now to help you book a trip with your fingertips… what you need to consider is if you are really getting the best deal? And another thing… are you missing out on other activities and the like that you don’t know about?

I am going to share with you now 5 reasons why it is worth working with a travel agent. Really think about this before you hit “BOOK” on Expedia…

Reason #1: Exclusive Access to Tours and Other Experiences
I get exclusive access to tours and other experiences that aren’t available to the public. Plus, I get a better price for them, too. Since you don’t have access to that type of information, you could be missing out on a lot, especially going to a new place! I want you to experience as much as possible on your trip.

Reason #2: Better Vacation Spots
As a travel agent, I am knowledgeable about the trends of when vacation spots are crowded or not. This can determine prices for flights, hotels, tours, and excursions. Sometimes, it may be worth waiting a bit for a vacation spot so it is a more enjoyable trip for you and your loved ones.

Reason #3: Advocacy
If something goes wrong on your trip, I will go the extra mile for you — no matter who is at fault — to get your vacation back on track. I know things don’t always go as planned and can cause frustration, but I will do everything in my power to help make things better. It could result in refunds or an upgrade.

Reason #4: Save Money
As a travel agent, I can save you money based on my relationships within the travel network or I can at least match the price you had in mind. There are also hidden savings built into trips. I will likely book transfers for you, included in the price. Sometimes a package that you book yourself won’t include those which can make the experience appear cheaper but cost you more in the end (you don’t want that!).

Reason #5: Convenience
Your time is valuable and you shouldn’t have to spend hours searching for the right vacation online. I am more than happy to do that for you and all you have to do is show up to the airport on time.

I can help you tailor the perfect vacation that you actually want, not the one that you saw on Instagram or YouTube by social media influencers. Remember, there is a difference between travel inspiration and actual travel desires. Destinations may look good online, but not actually be ideal for you personally and how you want your vacation to be. I can help you define what it is you want to get out of a vacation which is key for making sure your vacation dream comes true.

Aren’t these great things to know about how a travel agent can really help you out?
