Professional Travel Advisor - Book with Peace Of Mind!


Most of us get so little time to relax, explore or adventure, so we know the importance of making every minute special. It is always our goal to plan and book YOUR perfect vacation. If you have never used a travel advisor you may be like a lot of people and think…

 

Why should I book through a Travel Advisor when I can book the trip myself online?

Booking through a Travel Advisor offers several advantages compared to booking a trip online:


  • Access to Exclusive Offers: Travel Advisors often have access to special offers, promotions, and packages that may not be available to the general public. This can potentially save you money on your travel expenses.
  • Transparent Pricing: Advisors can help you navigate through hidden fees and charges that might not be immediately apparent when booking online. They ensure that you are aware of all costs upfront, providing transparency in pricing.
  • Time Savings: Booking a vacation online can be time-consuming and overwhelming. Travel Advisors can save you time and effort by handling the research, comparison, and booking processes, allowing you to focus on other aspects of trip planning.
  • Personalized Service: Advisors build a relationship with their clients, understanding their preferences and needs. This personal touch allows for tailored recommendations and a more customized travel experience.
  • Expertise and Knowledge: Travel Advisors are experienced professionals who stay updated on the latest travel trends, destinations, and regulations. They can provide valuable insights and advice based on their expertise.
  • Responsibility and Advocacy: Travel Advisors take on the responsibility of ensuring all details of your trip are in order. In case of unforeseen circumstances or disruptions (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), Advisors can act as advocates, handling cancellations, insurance claims, and working to secure refunds or travel credits.
  • Consistency and Reliability: Working with the same Travel Advisor throughout the entire process ensures consistency and reliability. You won't have to deal with call centers or speak to different agents each time you have a question or need assistance.

  • Protection Against Fraud: TICO registration and the use of reliable resources help protect clients against fraud or deceptive practices in the travel industry. Travel Advisors use reputable suppliers and have access to exclusive contacts for additional assistance when needed.
  • Global Network: Travel Advisors have connections with various entities in the travel industry, including hotels, suppliers, tourist boards, and cruise lines. This network can be beneficial in securing additional assistance or information for a smoother travel experience.
  • Continuous Training and Updates: Travel Advisors undergo regular training and stay informed about travel restrictions, ensuring they provide clients with the most up-to-date information and recommendations for a safe and enjoyable trip.


Overall, the comprehensive services provided by Travel Advisors contribute to a stress-free and well-planned travel experience, making them a valuable resource for individuals seeking a hassle-free vacation.


 

But I see you charge fees. Why should I pay you a fee?!

Charging a fee is a common practice among Travel Advisors, and it serves several purposes that benefit the traveler:


  • Time and Expertise: The fee compensates Travel Advisors for the time and effort they invest in planning your vacation. They dedicate their expertise, knowledge, and attention to detail to ensure your trip meets your expectations and preferences.
  • Personalized Service: Travel Advisors often limit the number of clients they work with to provide personalized service. The fee allows them to focus on your specific needs, preferences, and any special requests, ensuring a customized travel experience.
  • Peace of Mind: By paying a fee, you gain access to a professional who can navigate the complexities of travel planning. This can provide peace of mind, knowing that you have an expert handling the details and being your go-to person for any questions or issues that may arise during your trip.
  • Exclusive Recommendations: Travel Advisors may have access to exclusive deals, hidden gems, or unique experiences that you might not discover on your own. Their industry connections and firsthand knowledge can add significant value to your travel plans.
  • Avoiding Mistakes: One small mistake in travel arrangements can lead to significant issues. Travel Advisors help you avoid potential pitfalls, ensuring a smooth and stress-free vacation. This is especially important when dealing with travel restrictions, entry requirements, and other constantly changing factors.
  • Cost Savings: Despite the fee, Travel Advisors often have access to special offers, discounts, and packages that can save you money in the long run.  Their ability to find the best deals, combined with their expertise, can result in a cost-effective & enjoyable experience.
  • Consistent Communication: Travel Advisors prioritize communication with their clients. You won't have to deal with long delays in phone queues or decipher complex details from online sources. The fee contributes to maintaining a high level of service and responsiveness.
  • Ongoing Support: The fee covers not only the planning phase but also ongoing support throughout your trip. If any issues arise during your travels, your Travel Advisor is there to assist, advocate, and ensure a positive resolution.


While some travelers may prefer the DIY approach and enjoy the research process, others value the convenience, expertise, and peace of mind that a Travel Advisor can offer. Ultimately, the fee is an investment in a stress-free and well-planned travel experience, tailored to your preferences and needs.
