(when
you can do it yourself on the internet)
1)
Personalized Service - a travel agent gives you the
expertise of someone whose career it is to know what's going
on in the world of travel and what's going to help make your
trip as great as possible. He/she can make sure your resort
or cruise ship fits your personality and that all pieces of
your vacation flow together like they're supposed to.
2)
Insider Information - travel agents get updates on
airfare, vacation package discounts, etc on a daily basis which
means you'll be sure you're getting the best price on your
travel arrangements.
3)
Time Savings - searching the internet for the best
car rental deal may be fun for about 3 minutes, but it gets
old fast and it takes away from waht you'd rather be doing.
4)
And it's FREE - except in unique cases where a travel
agent may charge you a service fee (like when booking airline
tickets where the airline doesn't offer him/her a commission),
using a travel agent doesn't cost you a thing. His/her fees
are paid by the travel provider.
