Hi all! Thank you so much for all of your support this past week after I announced my travel business :) Love how many of you share the same passion about travel and adventure as I do!
I have gotten quite a few private messages asking lots of GREAT questions! Since many of them have been the same, I thought I would post a few and share the answers with everyone!
Does it cost more to work with a travel agent? No! The pricing is the same whether you book through an online supplier or you book with me! Quite honestly, most times you will end up with a better deal when booking with an agent. We often have access to specials, perks, and vip offers!
Travel Agents still exist? YES! Alive and Kickin! Many of us work from home and are a part of larger host agency. This way we are able to offer you the same benefits you would receive when working with a larger company.
How do you get paid if it doesn't cost any more to book through you? Great question! When you book through an online supplier, you are still paying a commission as part of your rate. That commission just goes back to a corporation instead of a family-owned business. The commission is built into the price of your vacation no matter who you book with. When booking through an independent agent, the suppliers pay us that commission rather than keeping it for themselves.
I live in a different state, can I still work with you to plan my vacation? Absolutely! Everything can be done over emails, texts, calls, and secure internet connections! We won't let distance stop us!
What kinds of vacations can you book? Whatever is on your Bucket List! Weekend Getaways to Destination Weddings. Cruises to African Safaris. Mountains or Ocean. Big City Adventures to Relaxing Beach All Inclusive.. You name it, I can book it!
Have an adventure in mind? Send me a pm!
