Seven Reasons You Should USE a Travel Agent!

The first travel agency was founded in 1841. The growth of commercial aviation in the 1920s supported the growth of this industry. There are approximately 65,000 travel agents in the United States right now. Using a travel agent is more important than ever.



1. EXPERTISE
It is wise to use a financial planner to help with your investments and a real estate agent to assist in finding your next home. When it comes to booking a memorable vacation, you can simplify your life by working with a travel agent. As an expert in planning and logistics, they will do the research for you and give you all the important details for your trip, including required documents and COVID protocols. Plus, they can offer you valuable tips! 

2. DESTINATION KNOWLEDGE 
Travel agents love to travel themselves, so can give you great advice on your desired destination. They are constantly on the lookout for the latest travel information. They are passionate about making their clients travel dreams come true. They can get the answers to all your questions. Travel agents are privy to unique places to visit that you might not even be aware of! 

3. SAVE TIME
When working with an agent, you can save valuable time with the convenience of booking everything in one place. Your travel agent can do it all! They can book your flights, rental cars, excursions, travel insurance and much more! 

4. SAVE MONEY
People misunderstand what it costs to work with an agent! It costs NOTHING - you pay the same as you would if you were to book it yourself. Often your travel agent can actually save you money because they are aware of exclusive deals and current promotions that you may not know about. 

5. TRAVEL ASSISTANCE 
A travel agent is there to answer any questions you might have, and they will "have your back" should any problems arise. With the challenges over the last couple of years, travel has become more and more complicated. Your vacation time is valuable to you, so why not work with someone who can simplify it for you? 

6. DECREASED STRESS 
You want to travel for relaxation and enrichment. Don't stress yourself out with all the last-minute searching. Working with a travel agent can make your trip hassle free and a memorable experience. 

7. RELATIONSHIPS 
Working with a travel agent means communicating with an actual person who has your best interests at heart. You are not speaking with a call center or a virtual bot. Travel agents work closely with their suppliers and can help you with things like special requests, room preferences and dietary needs.
