Lastly, Reason #11 Why Use A Travel Agent To Book Your Next Vacation...
Travel Agents Not Only Save You Money, They Deliver more Value for Your Vacation Dollars

When working with a Travel Agent, the value you receive will be bigger than what you paid. Cruise lines, luxury hotels, and many resorts get the majority of their customers through Travel Agents and they reward the best ones with perks to share with you. Travel Agents consistently get access to the best rooms, upgrades, and special features that are just not available in online databases

Reason #10 Why Use A Travel Agent To Book Your Next Vacation...
You Get an Instant Network

When you work with a Travel Agent, you not only benefit from their expertise but from their many connections. No travel professional has been everywhere, and it would be impossible for them to know everyone and everything. But they’ve undoubtedly participated in FAM (familiarization) trips where they were able to network with other agents and initiate lasting relationships with key players in the travel and tourism industry. This network is something they lean on when it comes to planning the best vacation for their clients. You are getting so much more than just one Travel Agent when you work with them.

Reason #8 Why Use A Travel Agent To Book Your Next Vacation...
Leverage Their Passion

The role of the Travel Agent might be different than what it was decades ago, but this group’s relentless passion for exploration is among the many reasons they remain so vital today and have been able to overcome past crises including 9/11 and the Great Recession. A great Travel Agent can get you excited to see the world and keep you inspired to stay the course in those moments when you aren’t so sure. In, the time of COVID-19, a good agent will never pressure you to travel, but can help plan your dream trip for the time when you are more comfortable with heading out to explore again.

09/27/2022

Reason #7 Why Use A Travel Agent To Book your Next Vacation...
Get Special Access

Travel Agents have access that Online Travel Sites and average travelers themselves, don’t have. They are much more likely to enhance your trip with some unexpected and authentic moments. It might just be a surprise bottle of champagne upon arrival at your honeymoon resort or a last-minute suite upgrade. There’s no guarantee, but working with an agent ensures that you have someone looking out for you behind the scenes.

09/26/2022

Reason #6 Why Use A Travel Agent To Book Your Next Vacation...
You’ll Support Small Business

Like many other small and family-owned businesses, travel agencies have been massively impacted by the pandemic and they need the support from those same people who they’ve helped over the years. Supporting your local Travel Agent is just another way you can support small businesses and do your part to help jumpstart your local economy.

Reason #5 Why Use A Travel Agent To Book Your Next Vacation...
The Personal Experience

Often the best travel deal isn’t the one that best suits you. By working with a Travel Agent, you’ll make sure that you get the best possible deal for the trip you actually want to take. Unlike a search engine, a Travel Agent will take your personal preferences into consideration before seeking out your ideal getaway.

I always encourage my clients to book early. The start of the season is when the most inventory is available. Some destinations have very limited direct flights, smaller hotels fill up quickly and adults-only resorts get snapped up. Additionally, right now my travel partners are offering their best promotions of the season. As someone who works in the travel industry, I know how fast flights and room categories sell out and I want the peace of mind knowing your vacation is planned and taken care of.”

*Early Booking Offers Include
Best Price Guarantee, Early Booking Savings, complimentary seat selection, future travel vouchers and more.

*Two of your must-haves when planning your winter vacation are beach and sun but what else should you consider? For example, does anyone travelling with you have mobility issues? I can recommend a smaller resort with fewer stairs, and request and ground floor room. Food allergies can be tricky in Mexico and the Carribean.

*I have the resources to help pinpoint resorts that will work best for you. Travelling with children is a lot of fun, but stay at the wrong resort, your week-long vacation may not end up being the break you are looking for.

*Each year my travel partners launch flights to upcoming destinations. Why not be one of the first to visit the hot spot of tomorrow? These routes usually have what can be considered introductory pricing to entice travellers to give a new destination a try. Air Canada and Air Transat have flights to Cartagena, Colombia. The old city of Cartagena is a Unesco World Heritage site and industry insiders are touting it as the next must-visit destination. Here visitors can explore a historical city as well as spend time on their spectacular beach.

*As much as I would like to deny it, winter will be here before we know it and there is no better feeling than knowing your escape is already planned..

Reason #4 Why Use a Travel Agent To Book Your Next Vacation...
Travel Options are More Complex Than They Used to Be

With the current environment, including retiring cruise ships, Covid testing requirements, Vaccine travel passports, Staycations, Pod vacations, never mind the new resorts, and new airline fare categories, keeping up with the options is a full-time job. Having a professional help with the planning and logistics can have a big impact on how much you spend and how much you enjoy your vacation.

09/21/2022

Reason #3 Why Use a Travel Agent To Book Your Next Vacation...
Rely on an Expert

Few people travel as much as Travel Agents. They are constantly educating themselves on the industry and what’s coming next. While COVID-19-related travel restrictions are constantly changing, it’s your Travel Agent’s job to be up to date and in the know. For many, the thought of planning travel in the time of coronavirus makes them feel lost or overwhelmed, but that’s where a Travel Agent can step in and provide expert advice, recommendations and even alternate options when need be.

09/20/2022

Reason #2 Why Use a Travel Agent To Book Your Next Vacation...
Avoid Stress

Things that require a significant amount of time and money inevitably tends to create headaches and stress. If recent times have taught us anything, it’s that self-care is of prime importance. Working with a Travel Agent who can do the complex parts for you is an easy way to reduce the amount of stress in your life while still being able to get excited about future travel.

Reason #1 Why Use a Travel Agent To Book Your Next Vacation...

Save Time

We all know time is money, so why waste it researching airlines, cruise ships, hotels, and other travel suppliers when you can lean on an expert who has experienced them first hand? While you should research which places you want to go (research shows that even the act of planning travel creates happiness) there’s no need to spend your valuable time over the tedious and less interesting details such as hotel reviews and flight options.

As a self-employed, home-based travel agent, for The Travel Agent Next Door the last 2 years has certainly taken a ‘beating,’ to say the least, during the most difficult time due to COVID-19. In an industry where we depend 100 per cent on commissions with NO salary being paid, home-based travel agents were on the verge of loosing everything they had worked for this past year.
Specializing in a niche industry, such as destination weddings, honeymoons, wedding planner, group travel etc., requires a lot of pre-planning. It's typically a year or more in advance before I get to work with I clients. I work for clients throughout the year, making phone calls, sending emails and messages, getting them, all booked. I sometimes work for a year, with no income, on a single group.
When a client's trip is done, it's the ‘icing on the top’ for us agents. When clients return, we FINALLY get paid our commission for the work we have done for a year, sometimes longer.
The impact of COVID-19 had on us agents is tremendous. We had groups cancelling every day. Every group we have worked on (plus all individual bookings), with ZERO coming back to us as commission.
So where did that leave me? I was literally sinking, loosing all the hard-earned money I was depending on receiving or have already forecasted for. It was a nightmare for me. I still had to service my clients in the midst of all of it. So, I continue working, KNOWING I wasn’t getting paid for any of my time.
I was on hold for hours upon hours, days upon days, trying to get through to suppliers for questions and cancellations. Two, three, four days of no pay and working way more than a regular eight-hour day.
Remember how important it is to book with a travel agent, because I am here for my clients, day in and day out, to get clients through this time.
I am OPENED for BUSINESS! Specializing in Group Travel, Destination Weddings, Honeymoons, Wedding Planner and All-Inclusive Packages. Thank you for your patience, understanding and encouragement during COVID-19 because this too shall pass!

This is from Air Transat direct... good news for the travel industry!

As you probably have already read or heard, the proposed transaction between Transat and Air Canada will not proceed. This decision was a mutual agreement between Transat and Air Canada after being informed by the European Commission's analysis team that the transaction would not be approved. Therefore, Transat will continue independently.

This announcement has no impact on our operational resumption planned for mid-June. We want to reassure you, Transat is here to stay, we have a history of success and a promising future ahead of us! We have great assets that will help us in the global recovery of travel: great retail partnerships, the right type of aircraft for our Southern and European markets (A321neoLR), expertise in the leisure travel market (the first clientele that will travel after the pandemic), a brand admired by consumers and committed employees.

Plus, with vaccination progressing internationally, we see the light at the end of the tunnel.

We look forward to continuing to work with you.
