Business or Leisure, Why you should Use a Travel Agent

Here are just a few reasons that you should choose a travel agent instead of booking travel on your own:

Professional Advice: If you have questions about a vacation you want to book, or are headed out on a business trip, then it's a good thing you chose to book with a travel agent. We can answer your questions with a simple phone call or email. Better yet, come on in and sit down with us face to face. We want a relationship with you, not just your checkbook. We want to know our clients, so that we can make the most accurate recomendations for each of you.

Cost: When you choose to book through a travel agent, you won't pay more. The tour company pays us, so you are set on getting the best deal around. However, if you find a price that is lower than we have found, bring it to us in writing and we can match it.

Time: You could spend weeks researching every option for your trip. Your time is much more valuable then the few dollars you will save doing weeks of research. When you go to a web site, they give you information on companies that they have contracted with, and only those companies. As travel agents, we have the ability to book with nearly every travel business out there. Also, this is what we do. We go to trainings and seminars, and visit properties and have relationships with suppliers, so we have in depth knowledge

Customer Advocacy: When things go wrong, you have someone on your side. Travel agents can hold a lot of sway, especially if they are a heavy booker with a particular company. We are here on your behalf to make sure that you have a a worry free vacation or business trip. Why waste all your precious time tracking down lost baggage? Why spend your beach time on the phone with a tour company that overbooked your hotel? Go get a meal and see the sights and we will take care of it for you.
