Travel Tip: Travel Agent Notes
January 29, 2016
- You are not bothering us if you just need an airline ticket and a hotel in Chicago. We can indeed book more than just your exotic annual vacations and will do so gladly. Plus, we will likely have access to free amenities at the hotel that you might not find on your own because of my industry connections.
- If something goes amiss when you’re on your trip, call us immediately so we can fix it. Don’t be shy and say you didn’t want to make a fuss. You’ve paid money for this vacation and we are your advisor for a reason. Little things that mar the experience can typically be fixed quite easily and that’s what we are here for.
- When you compare the vacation packages we have offered you with what’s available via an online travel agency or discount website, please know that you’re probably not comparing apples to apples. The hotel we have selected is in a locale we think you will like, based on what you’ve told us. The room we have reserved for you is guaranteed in its category, meaning when you check in, you won’t be given inferior accommodations, based on the desk attendant’s mood. Plus, if you’re looking at a website that brags that it has the lowest pricing available, you’ll likely be getting the lowest quality room available. Trust us.
- When you’re online and you see a deal that looks too good to be true, it probably is. Travel companies don’t give away things for no reason. Is there small print you’re not reading because you’re so excited about the price you’re seeing? Do bring any deals you see to our attention and we promise to give you our best expert opinion as to what you’d actually get for your money.
- Do make travel a priority in your life. Every moment is precious and if you keep putting off that family vacation or that couple’s getaway, you may never do it and only end up with regrets. Let us craft a trip for you that will make the most of your time together so you’ll end up with fabulous memories. Live for the now; who knows what tomorrow will bring?
