In an online world where travel can be facilitated with a click of a button, you may be wondering if travel agents still exist or if they've gone the way of the VCR. While it may seem computers and technology have done away with the people behind the industry, there could be nothing further from the truth. Let me be the one to assure you that travel advisors are alive and well and VERY MUCH a part of a thriving, worldwide industry!
Of course, you can still click on that link and purchase your own travel without using an expert like myself, but you'd be missing out on a lot of wonderful benefits that only a real professional can provide. Today, I'd like to share with you 5 benefits that you receive from working one-on-one with a travel advisor.
PARTNER CONNECTIONS
With negotiated airline rates, negotiated hotel rates, and preferred vendors, I'm able to provide customized reservations and bookings that are not available online. In a nutshell, I can get you better rates, better rooms, and better service.
