Constantly changing airfares and schedules, thousands of available vacation packages, and a vast amount of travel information on the Internet can make travel planning frustrating and time consuming. To sort out the many travel options, tourists and business people often turn to travel agents, who assess their needs and help them make the best possible travel arrangements. Travel agents can handle
every aspect of your trip from airline tickets to lodging, ground transportation, activities, tours and more. If you should have a problem during your trip, travel agents can act on your behalf to see that proper restitution's are made. Travel agents are constantly communicating with the travel community, thus giving you the most up to date info on airlines, hotels, car rental agencies. Travel agents offer that “personal touch” to your travel planning experience - Offering help and advice that a website cannot provide. Something has come up and you need to cancel your trip? If you have used a travel agent they are the only person you need to call. An online travel agency is not going to answer the phone when you call with any complications during your trip. A travel agent continues to give you that personal support even while you are away. Problems at the airport? Reservation issues at the hotel? Your travel agent is a phone call away from getting your problem solved. Instead of playing around with dates on the internet for hours, your travel agent can advise you on any changes to your travel dates that might save you hundreds of dollars. Your travel agent can advise you of all the cancellation penalties and restrictions hidden in the fine print of your travel documents. Travel agents can talk directly with the airline to arrange for you to get the seats with the most leg room, seats that might not otherwise be released until the day of the flight. Once you find a good travel agent, your dream vacation is just a phone call away.
