I recently saw a news segment suggesting travelers should use a travel advisor for free adviceโฆ and then book everything themselves.
That is not a โtravel hack.โ
That is a misunderstanding of how this industry works.
Most travel advisors work on commission only, and that commission is already built into the price whether you book direct or through an advisor. If you use our time, knowledge, and research and then book on your own, we make ZERO dollars โ and you usually save nothing either.
Another misconception? That weโre always โvacationing.โ When we travel, weโre working. Weโre touring resorts, meeting suppliers, checking details, and learning firsthand so we can properly guide our clients.
Travel advisors are not Google.
We are business owners, planners, problem-solvers, and advocates for our clients from start to finish.
So please respect our time and expertise. If you value a travel advisor enough to ask for their help, value them enough to book with them too.
Supporting a small business costs you nothing extra, but it means everything to us.
