Top reasons to use a certified travel advisor:
***Expertise*** Experienced travel advisors know the market and can match you with a better product than you can find by searching the internet. They’ve been there, done that and can often speak to the experience from firsthand knowledge. An advisor certified by The Travel Institute is a highly qualified professional who can guide their clients through multiple options, handle the complex reservation process and free their customers to focus on the fun.
***Advocate*** Miss a flight, train or a cruise ship? Hotel lost a reservation? If something goes wrong before or during a trip, a certified travel advisor will work hard to get a vacation back on track.
***Resources & Relationships*** Certified travel advisors have a variety of tools and contacts that consumers can’t access or don't know about. Often, they can get their clients a better airplane seat, added amenities at hotels, room upgrades, event tickets and access to special activities. Need to know if vaccines or visas are needed for a destination? Ask a certified travel advisor and they will know.
***Convenience*** A traveler’s time is valuable, so let a certified travel advisor work to research and plan a dream vacation. A certified advisor can help clients define what they want to get out of their travels and present options that fulfill or exceed their desires. They can book everything for their client, from hotel and air to spa appointments and dining.
***Save Money, Add Value*** A certified travel advisor can often save their clients money even if they charge a fee due to their exclusive relationships and in-depth knowledge of suppliers, which also saves their clients time and effort. There also are a lot of value-adds that most consumers don't even know about that a certified advisor can bring to travel planning.
