Why do people use a Travel Agent when you can book online?
It’s super easy to book a vacation online. It’s also super overwhelming! For the same reasons you have a realtor sell your house, a mechanic to fix your car and a doctor to make you feel better when you’re sick you want to enlist the help of a professional to plan your vacation! Did you know booking with a travel agent is the same price as booking online! Yep, that’s true! When you book with a travel agent you have one expert to go to with all of your questions and issues, not a 1-800 customer service line. Your vacation is a large investment, don’t leave it to the chance – anything can be made to look like a dream on the internet! Shop local, use a travel agent!
How do you get paid if your services are free?
Great question! Commission is actually already built into the price of vacations you see online, so whether you realize it or not you are paying for it! Travel Agents are paid a commission from the resorts, cruise lines and tour operators after travel is complete. We do charge a service fee for airfare only bookings and complicated multi-stop itineraries.
