Let's approach the subject, "Why use a travel agent?, I can book it myself cheaper online"
Here is a comparison. The first comparison a quote from my Vendor. Non-Stop flight from St Louis to Montego Bay Jamaica. Stay at Riu Palace Jamaica with an Elite club upgraded room and transportation to the hotel and back to the airport included. (No travel insurance for the sake of comparing same to same-but I always include travel insurance for my travelers)
Last quote is from a Well-known commercial booking website. Travel dates are the same. Flight is same. Hotel and room category is SAME. What's not Same? Price!!!!
My price is LESS and includes round trip transportation to your resort and back to the airport on departure.
Using a travel agent does not end up costing you more. Your cost should end up being around the same price or possibly less. What a travel agent does is add VALUE, to your trip. They're going to know the best places for competitive prices, good flight schedules, transportation to and from your destination from the airport, no ubers or taxis or guess work. They'll also provide destination experience. If they haven't been there you can bet they know it comes highly recommended from their peers. You're going to have someone to reach out to if something goes wrong during your travels to assist you. You won't be figuring it out all by yourself.
Best part is, they don't cost extra!
If you are booking your own travel, you're basically an unpaid travel agent.
