Episode 9: Why Use a Travel Agent?

This week we’re attempting to answer a question that has been asked of each of us since we’ve taken on our current job – “Why should I use a travel agent?” When online agencies first appeared on the scene, agents who had been in the business had to restructure their whole business plan. You see less of the traditional “brick and mortar” type stores, and more agents who have adapted to the internet age. No, we are not extinct! In fact, many people are turning back to agents to help with their travel planning. Listen to our latest episode and we’ll tell you some of the trends we’re seeing. Topics include:

• Are the deals you find on the internet too good to be true? Read the fine print!
• Best value vs. best price
• How agents are paid
• Your vacation is an investment!
• How our networking with other agencies and suppliers benefits you
• Make the most of scarce vacation time
• Who do you call when things go wrong?
• We’re referral based! We want you to call us again – and pass our number on to your friends and family!
