Most people have never booked through a travel agent and often ask me what the benefits are? Here are a few of my favorites:
Contrary to popular belief, you don't pay extra to use my services. I earn commission from vendors. When you book your own travel online, there is still commission built into the price, so you're giving it to a website instead of a real person - like me.
I have access to rates and promotions not available to the public. The price you pay for your trip will always be at, or often below, published rates.
I love to travel and I'm very thorough with my research [thanks grad school]. As a lifelong learner, I'm getting new certifications about your travel destinations.
I provide extra peace of mind knowing that you'll get the best value possible for your trip & support if anything happens on your trip.
