There is a common misconception that booking through a travel agent costs more than booking directly with a travel company—this is not the case. Having your own travel agent is a terrific bargain: you benefit from the agent's expertise and service, but the agent is paid by the vendor and not by the customer. In other words, you get the services which I provide for free!
These Free Services Include:
• taking the time to learn your requirements and preferences
• utilizing my years of experience to provide you with objective and professional advice
• researching the trip for you
• providing you with literature and other data to ensure you have the information you need
• arranging the trip for you, including handling your reservations, deposits, etc.
• after you book your trip, on a daily basis, looking for any new promotions that will save you additional money
• being your contact person—if there is any type of problem during your trip, I am available to assist you
• being your advocate—if there is an issue with a cruise line, tour company, etc., I represent and am an advocate for your interests*
