Why should you use a Travel Agent in today’s technology age?

Posted on Tuesday, 03-Jan-2012 by

In the technology age of find it quick and easy on-line, you may be thinking, why should I use a travel agent? So to help you answer that question here are our favorite reasons:

Posted in Home | Leave a comment

1. Who Ya Gonna Call? (Ghostbusters? Naw, Texas Cowboy Travel!)

Posted on Tuesday, 03-Jan-2012 by

What would you do if the hotel has lost your reservation? What would you do if the car rental agency has run out of cars? What happens if your flight is delayed and you miss you connection, or the airport is closed due to bad weather? Specifically, who are you going to call? Who’s going to help you? Are you going to have to stand in line with 500 other people hoping you can get your flight re booked? The Airline? The hotel? The car rental company? They don’t care. You’re just one person. Losing you as a guest or a customer is no big deal. Basically, you’re on your own. About all you can do is hit the streets and hope that something comes up…

If you book through a travel agent, all you have to do is make one simple phone call. And everything will be taken care of. Will the hotel assist your agent? Will the car rental company assist your agent? Of course they will, because now they’re dealing with someone who has the potential to send either hundreds of guests, or no guests at all. From a purely business perspective, a travel agency can send thousands of dollars (or even tens of thousands of dollars), or no dollars at all…

2. It is not just about price

Posted on Tuesday, 03-Jan-2012 by

You look to travel agents to provide the best overall solution to your individual travel needs.  By asking tons of questions up front, an agent can provide a relevant needs assessment. This can include dates, quality or location of accommodation or stateroom, cancellation policy, recreational amenities, the ease of doing business, etc.  No two customers are alike. What works for one may not work for another.

3. Show me the Money (I saved)

Posted on Tuesday, 03-Jan-2012 by

Saving money is not just about price. It is more about value. If the hotel was not the right location, if the cruise line was not the right cruise line, if the golf course was not the right golf course.it does not matter how much you saved. One can save a ton of money and be miserable or spend a little more to be in heaven. A travel agent can recommend relevant offerings and also provide cost saving strategies. Moving a date, changing the location of a room/cabin, being open to flight options, etc., all can save money. Nobody wants to pay more than necessary so an agent will help you find the best value without the sacrifices of a cheap trip.
