I am a travel advisor. Booking your trip with a travel advisor may or may not cost more than booking it yourself, but the benefits of using a travel advisor can be priceless. Ask anyone who's been stuck in an airport because of a mix-up or canceled flight how invaluable the expertise of a travel agent can be.
If you choose me as your travel designer, please know that:
1. I am always available for all of your travel needs, from booking an airline ticket or hotel to planning your most exotic vacations. Also, I often have access to complimentary amenities at hotels and resorts because of my industry connections.
2. If something goes amiss when youâre on your trip, I am available to help you. Please call or email me immediately so I can fix it. Donât be shy and say you didnât want to make a fuss. Youâve paid money for this vacation and Iâm your advocate. Little things that can mar your experience can typically be fixed quite easily and thatâs what Iâm here for.
3. When you compare the vacation packages that I can offer you with whatâs available via an online travel agency or discount website, please know that youâre probably not comparing apples to apples. The hotel Iâve selected is in a locale I think you will like, based on what youâve told me. The room I have reserved for you is guaranteed in its category, meaning when you check in, you wonât be given inferior accommodations, based on the desk attendantâs mood. Plus, if youâre looking at a website that brags that it has the lowest pricing available, youâll likely be getting the lowest quality room available. Trust me.
4. My favourite part of my job, and something that the internet canât do, is talk to you and listen to your wish list and trip priorities. I take into account your preferences and needs and match you to your perfect vacation.
5. I travel-A LOT. That means that I have experienced and have first-hand knowledge and reviews of destinations, hotels and resorts that you may be interested in.
6. When youâre online and you see a deal that looks too good to be true, it probably is. Travel companies donât give away things. Is there small print youâre not reading because youâre so excited about the price youâre seeing? Do bring any deals you see to my attention and I promise to give you my best expert opinion as to what youâd actually get for your money, and in most cases I can give you better value than what you are seeing online
7. I have spent the last 5 years building personal relationships with hotel managers and staff, giving me leverage to get you things you canât get on your own, such as that âsold outâ room or the connecting rooms that the online sites say are unavailable.
8. If you are travelling with a group, I can be the go-to person to coordinate everything so that you can just enjoy your trip. Discounts, VIP extras, organizing everyone and everything is my job-not yours.
9. Do make travel a priority in your life. Every moment is precious and if you keep putting off that family vacation or that coupleâs getaway, you may never do it and only end up with regrets.
Let me design a trip for you that will create many wonderful experiences and fabulous memories!
