10 Reasons to Use a Travel Agent

1. Expert Guidance

We can get you where you want to go and advise you on the best places to see, even if the destinations are out of the way and considered “non-touristy”.

2. Convenience

We will handle all of your concerns; tickets, ground transportation, resort/villa stays, excursions, tours and trip protection. All documents will be sent to you in a convenient package so that you have everything you need at hand.

3. Personal Touch

We will be there assist you at every step. From pre-planning advice, through the quote phase, during booking to get you the best deals, throughout your travels and upon your return.

I will answer your call at 2:00 a.m! Internet search engines won’t!

4. Knowledge

We help you avoid the pitfalls of not knowing about local customs, traditions and laws. For example – it is illegal to wear camouflage in St. Lucia. An agent will be able to suggest what to pack and when to consider weather conditions – such as hurricane season in the Caribbean Islands.

5. Specialty Vacations

We find the best places for your special vacation—locations that are kid friendly, where to go for a more “couples” feel, romance, seclusion, culture, safari, and exotic adventures just to name a few.

6. Value

We can help you make your budget go farther. We have access to special deals and promotions. We will also keep you informed of extra expenses to expect on your trip, helping you to avoid unexpected surprises.

7. Extra Attention

We will spend extra time and attention going over things with you. For example – itineraries, tourist attractions, places to go off the beaten path, busiest times to avoid travel, extra amenities available to you, and clarifying cancellation penalties and restrictions.

8. Advocacy

An agent will be your advocate. We have more buying power and can act on your behalf if problems develop. If a natural disaster or emergency arises, we can work to immediately cancel your trip or reschedule your itinerary.

Less Stress!

We do all of the work for you. All of the research, all of the calling and make sure everything is in order for your travel. We will be the one sitting on hold – not you! We will be able to tell you how to obtain your travel documents such as passports, visas and vaccinations if needed. We can assist you with the exchange rates in other countries and can provide you with the most up to date information on all of your trip details.

10. Reliability

Once you find a good agent they are only one call away. One call and your next adventure of a lifetime begins to take shape, or your concerns or problems are put into motion to be solved.
