Without too much digging you can find a number of articles from experts stating why you should use a Travel agent apposed to booking on your own using a number of on-line booking sources.  This is not quite that, but my feelings, as a Travel Agent as to why I feel Travel Agents are the best way to go when planning your vacations.am  

Price:  Many individuals have the belief that they will save themselves lots of money by doing the research and booking themselves.  That is a true statement.  It is possible to find cheaper prices, but it is important to make sure you are looking at the final price after all taxes and fees.  Often times the price found on internet travel sights have “hidden” cost you may not be informed of until the final booking steps.  I always give the full price so my clients are not surprised.   

Even as a home-based agent operating independently I have been able to beet the discount web sites and local large agencies a number of times.  So being small does not make my prices higher. 

Service:  No one will ever convince me that the service that you are given from a large web booking site will ever come close to the personal service and added touches I give to my customer.  I believe this is true with any home town agent.  My reputation in on line with every client I work with.  If I provide bad service everyone in town will hear about it and will have a huge impact on my business.  I go above and beyond to make my clients vacation dreams come true.  How many big travel outlets will drop of Passport forms at your office, or meet you for lunch at your cafe to discus cruise choices, or deliver your travel document to your house in person to go over all your questions.  I even have taken a phone call at 7:30 AM on a Sunday as they were on their way to the airport and were lost.  I stayed on the phone with them until they parked their car.   

The above are reasons I encourage you to contact me or a Travel Agent when planning your vacation.  We all work have and when it comes time to take that well deserved vacation, trust in a professional to make it the most enjoyable time of your like.  I consider myself a Dream Merchant, I sell drams.  My goal is to make my clients dream vacations happen, within their budget and with out frustration. 

 Thank you, to all my clients that have put their trust in me to                                                                                                               assist in making their vacations dreams come true!
