10
Good Reasons...
1.
Best Value
Agents provide their clients with the best travel value possible.
They can't control travel prices but they can provide you with accurate
information as to what choices and special promotions exist, and
can speak to a particular product's quality. They're there to help
you get the best value for your travel dollar.
2. Choice
Travel agents give you a variety of travel options and quotes
from a host of travel suppliers.
3. Customer Advocate
In the event that you have a problem with a particular part of your
travel experience, travel agents can act on your behalf to see that
restitution is made.
4. Convenient One Stop Shopping
Agents can save you time and money and can handle every aspect of
your trip from air tickets to a car rental and from lodging to activities.
5. Expert Guidance
Agents are experts in understanding and deciphering the intricacies
of the system and in helping you take full advantage of them.
6. Personalized Service
Agents are not some impersonal voice thousands of miles away. They
know you and what you value in your travel experience.
7. Professional Advice
Agents are experts in making sure that people get where they need
to go-at the best price and in the most pleasant way possible.
8. Unbiased Information
Agents work for you, not the supplier. If you're happy with your
travel experience, it goes to reason you'll return to their agency
the next time you're looking to make travel arrangements.
9. Time
Agents have all the information at their fingertips, a big advantage
for today's time strapped consumers. Instead of your calling or
going on line with each individually, agents can pull up all your
travel options within minutes.
10. Trust
Fifty-seven percent of "wired travelers" have looked but
not booked.
Of those 64 percent cited the fear of insecure credit card use as
one of their
biggest reasons for not booking on-line. With a travel agent, you
can relax and enjoy the trip knowing your credit card information
is secure.
