Today, with more resources than ever for travel information, a professional travel agent and a cruise counsellor is more valuable ever.
1. Experience - Through education, familiarization, and customer feedback, an agent becomes a travel expert.
2. Independence - suggestions in the best interest of the client, not the supplier with one-stop shopping for airfares, rental cars, cruises and hotels.
3. Up-To-Date - Via daily faxes, e-mails, and relationships with their sales managers, agents obtain the most current promotional information.
4. Analysis - By analyzing the current promotions your agent can discover that the cheapest flight is not always the best.
5. Clarification - By clarifying the fine print, such as cancellation penalties and restrictions, an agent can save a traveler money...and headaches.
6. Recommendations - Agents share knowledge with you about where to eat, shop and what to pack.
7. Problem Solver - The agent serves as the consumer’s advocate in the event something goes wrong.
8. Travel & Medical Protection - Don’t leave home without!
