"Why Book Early?" Is a question I was asked today.
Booking early is always a good idea, as you secure great early bird booking promotions offered by hotels, you'll have first pick of accommodations, availability for your preferred dates and your choice rooms types... not to mention and more time to get excited and something to look forward to during the cold dark days!

If you are hoping to go away in 2025 or 2026, contact me and let's start planning.

Why Using a Travel Professional Is the Best Choice for Your Next Holiday

In today's digital age, it's easy to assume that planning a holiday on your own is the best route. However, the benefits of using a travel professional are immense—and it's no wonder that more people are returning to the expertise of travel agents to craft their dream getaways.

According to recent data, 54% of people in 2024 book with a travel professional due to the ease of booking. This is an increase from 51% in 2023, highlighting how stress-free it is to have a seasoned expert handle the details. From flights to accommodation and everything in between, we make sure your entire trip is organised efficiently, giving you more time to enjoy the excitement of your upcoming holiday rather than getting bogged down in logistics.

Another top reason people choose to work with travel agents is the security of having someone there if things go wrong. This jumped to 43% in 2024, compared to 34% the previous year. When you book with me, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that I’m just a phone call away should any unexpected hiccups arise. Whether it’s flight changes, cancellations, or unforeseen travel disruptions, having support can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth trip.

Time-saving is another key advantage, with 43% of travellers recognising this benefit in 2024. Instead of spending hours scouring the internet for the best deals, I can quickly put together a package that fits your needs and budget. Whether you’re planning a romantic honeymoon or a family adventure, I have the tools and connections to bring it all together seamlessly.

Many also choose to work with travel professionals for the value for money—39% of people in both 2024 and 2023 say this is a priority. Thanks to my industry relationships, I can often access exclusive deals and perks that you wouldn’t be able to find online. This can add significant value to your holiday, from complimentary upgrades to special experiences that will make your trip truly unforgettable.

Moreover, 36% of people in 2024 reported that they feel more confident booking through a travel professional, up from 34% in 2023. My knowledge of destinations, hotels, and activities gives my clients the confidence that they’re making the right choices for their holidays.

Lastly, travellers increasingly seek out the expert help and advice that only a professional can offer. In 2024, 35% of people prioritised this expertise, up from 30% in 2023. Whether it’s advice on the best time to visit a destination, insider tips on must-see sights, or local secrets that aren’t in the guidebooks, I’m here to ensure that your trip is not just good but extraordinary.

Ready to make your next holiday unforgettable? Let me take care of everything, from start to finish, so you can focus on enjoying the journey. Contact me today to start planning your bespoke itinerary tailored perfectly to you.
