Travel Agent Myths You Need to Stop Believing!
Planning your dream vacation sounds easy, but using a travel agent is even easier. It’s time to call in the expert.
Forget the stereotypes that travel agents are expensive, no one uses them and they don’t exist anymore and focus on why trusting today’s modern travel agent is much easier than a DIY vacation. Here are the top two travel agent stereotypes debunked. I too was a believer once upon a time until I became educated.
1. Using a travel agent means doing everything the old school way.
False. The travel industry, embraces new technology and functionalities as much as any other industry. And, because the industry depends on the health of the world to be successful, having an eco-friendly mindset is more important than ever, so paper itineraries and tickets aren’t as common anymore, as we use email, texts and even Facebook Messenger when communicating with clients. – you can plan a whole itinerary via digital communication!
2. Booking with a travel agent is expensive and time-consuming.
False. Does researching your entire trip then booking your own flight, hotel room, transportation, entertainment, dining and excursions really sound all that easy? And what if a flight gets delayed, more people join your group or there were hidden fees on that sweet deal you found? Sure, we travel agents make commission, but that is paid by the supplier we are booking with – NOT THE CUSTOMER. And if you’re already purchasing it on your own, wouldn’t it make sense to work with a professional who can enhance your trip by a few clicks or by talking to the right person.
Travel agents spend time learning your travel preferences, researching destinations and airlines, fact checking and curating personalized itineraries for you. Ultimately, working with a travel agent will save you an incredible amount of time, and what is more valuable than your own time?
