People still use travel advisors 🤔
You’re busy! The kids are running around, the assignment at work is due, your partner wants dinner, the dog needs a walk, etc. You want to go on a vacation but you don’t have the time or the patience.
I’m sure you’ve sat on the phone with Julie, from Amtrak, ready to book your reservations. The only problem is, the hold time has extended 25 mins and your lunch is almost over. Still no reservation, so you try after work. You call back, but now you’ve been on hold for 45 mins and your family is hungry and ready for dinner. Still no reservation. You try to find the time the next day, but a meeting a work lasted half the day and you have a 5pm deadline to complete your project. You keep thinking “when will I find the time to book this trip?”
Why You Should Use a Travel Advisor When Planning Your Travels
When planning a vacation, many people choose to do all the legwork themselves. They go online and research different destinations, find affordable flights and hotels, and put together a travel plan that best suits their needs. While this can be a great way to save money on your trip, there are some advantages using a travel advisor. However, the stress and the time it can take can get overwhelming. Not to mention that if you’re new to travel, you may not know what or where to start.
Some people with think to themselves “I can plan this trip without an advisor.” For the most part, yes. However, there’s always exceptions. Some suppliers only accept reservations only by a travel advisor/specialist. Cruises are a great example. They’ll ask you if you already have an advisor and if not they’ll get you over to one to book the reservation.
