You may be asking yourself, "Why should I use a travel agent when I can book on my own?" There are so many pros to having a travel agent in your corner when planning trips!
1. It's FREE! Travel Agents get paid on commissions automatically built into prices from the vendors. These are built in whether you use a travel agent or not, so why not get more for your dollar! We offer free itinerary planning and discount monitoring as well!

2. What if you don't get the room you paid for or your flight is cancelled or delayed and you have paid transportation waiting for you at the arrival airport? A travel agent can take care of making sure your issues are taken care of and you won't have the stress of your vacation being delayed AND working out the details. Your agent can handle this for you!
3. Even with online booking, travel agents still do the majority of vacation booking and planning. For this reason, travel companies (hotels, etc.) will want to do everything in their power to make sure the agents clients are happy. When clients are happy, they will recommend locations, resorts, and plans which turns into more business for the vendors.
4. Travel Agents don't know everything about every destination, BUT what they do have is a group of travel professionals and colleagues that they can can draw from and that is priceless! Sure, you could Google it, but do you know which sources you can trust and are legitimate for information gathering? Your travel agent does.

5. By using a travel agent, not only are you doing a great service for you and your family by using a trained professional, but you are supporting that agent's family and business as well. They appreciate this more than you know! If you are happy with them, send them referrals. This is one of the best compliments you can give your agent.
