✨TRAVEL AGENT TRUTH FOR 2024!✨
Well, here we are, a brand new year! 🥳 Last year, from a travel standpoint, was a huge success! I've seen a record number of people traveling to even more beautiful places. From the looks of it so far, 2024 will outpace 2023 by a wide margin. I AM READY FOR IT!!!
In my first year as a travel agent, I have learned and want to share some money saving ideas with you!
🧳Vacation destinations are willing to offer more discounts further out than before, as they want to fill their rooms early! This is to YOUR benefit! (Beaches Resorts, Sandals Resorts, Cruises especially)
🧳People are booking further out than ever before to capture better availability and better pricing. Pricing creeps up as time goes on. Most land packages will offer a refundable deposit so changing dates later is usually easy. (Disney, Universal, Beaches, Sandals, Sea World, and more!)
🧳Last minute bookings are harder and harder to make and are more expensive - but I help with them often. Don't hesitate if you want to go.
🧳There are occasional last minute rates (military, GTY on cruises, etc) and these are designed to just finish up selling inventory on cruise ships. But, you won't find the best rooms for the best price on the best ships as things will be picked over. Be flexible.
🧳If you don't have your Spring Break or Summer vacation booked yet, I would advise that you make plans with me this week! It is going to be booked solid VERY SOON!!
🧳WAVE SEASON (overload of clients all at once) is here, which means I am "in-the-weeds" with clients booking their trips for 2024 and 2025. I will do 2/3 of my entire year's business between Jan-March. I LOVE IT!
🧳If you book your Disney / Universal trip early, you will then qualify for my discount monitoring. Meaning, if a better applicable promotion comes out, then I will automatically apply it and save you money.
🧳Generally, "waiting for deals" does not necessarily result in saved money, as often the price goes up before a discount is applied. Booking early and then checking the future deals is the best way to save.
I hope that helps! The way we book trips has changed a lot in the last 10 years. My biggest piece of advice - BOOK YOUR TRIP EARLY to save the most amount of money and use a travel agent that automatically will check for deals - ME!
Hope that helps! Ready to grab your next trip when you are.
