We Are Here To Represent YOU! Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Work With A Travel Agent

1. Direction - Planning a trip is easily accessible via the Internet. But without proper direction and understanding of where you are going in certain countries, the Internet does not serve much benefit if you have never traveled there before.  Travel Agents (TAs) are well traveled and participate in Familiar (FAM) trips and receive industry certifications to familiarize themselves with hotels/resorts, local regions, and culture so that our clients are comfortable and well assured for a memorable and safe experience.
2. Exclusive Savings - TAs receive exclusive offers daily that are not accessible to the public.  By working with a TA, clients receive priority on some of the best amenities and premiere services.
3. Group Organization - Planning a destination wedding and/or a group vacation is tedious and stressful when working with different personalities and schedules.  Allow your TA to be your group representative in presenting quality accommodations and order tactics to ensure proper planning, scheduling, and communication.  
4. Product/Vendor Knowledge - Have you ever dealt with a vendor/hotel that promised a certain service or amenity and it was a no show come arrival?  TAs have knowledge “know how” when it comes to working with credible vendors who are ethical and deliver what is promised.  
5. Counsel - Sure, Egypt (hypothetically speaking) may be your desired place of travel, but are you aware of possible wars and culture indifferences that may affect your tourist region and/or you personally?  Allow your TA to be your personal advisor when it comes to learning about current events and public policies around the world.
6. Timing - Timing is everything when it comes to travel.  Allow your TA to be efficient when it comes to presenting and reserving accommodations that are in demand and that have potential for rate increases.  TAs represent you in ensuring availability and securing rates. 
7. Property Inspections - This brings me back to Reason #1. FAM trips and property inspections are a sure way for TAs to confirm whether or not certain services, tours/attractions, and hotels/resorts meet quality standards.  Again, the Internet can present anything in a glamorous light, but whether or not Website images and reviews are valid is left for questioning. This TA here - Moi! - executes a full inspection including a checklist highlighting everything from property/vendor location to local airport(s) and public transportation, services/amenities (memberships, gym facility, business/board rooms, salon/spa services, dining, etc.), room categories and conditions, staff professionalism, neighborhood features and reputation, and much more.  TAs work directly with sales teams and vendor directors to build rapport and partnerships.  It is all about networking and maintaining positive relationships in this industry. 
8. Point of Contact - Emergencies occur, and online travel search engine representatives are not available to contact family members back home in moments of despair.  TAs serve well in emergency situations whether it involves a health and/or a financial concern.  
9. Budget Control - Travel can be expensive depending on the time of the year, popularity, location, etc.  Adhering to a budget is vital when it comes to the selection process, while still making sure it meets your requests.  Once again, knowledge "know how," FAM trips, and industry rapports assist TAs in rate negotiations and payment planning.
10. We Represent You To The End! - Travel confidently knowing that from start to finish each part of your trip will exceed your expectations due to working with a professional.
