Why Use a Travel Professional?

Part of my job here at Cruise Holidays of Kansas City is Business Development.  I am constantly at networking gatherings and other events where I mingle with many other people.  One of the top questions I receive is about why should people book their trips through me and not on the internet.  There are a lot of great reasons and believe me, I am well prepared to answer that question!

I was flipping through the 2012 Disney Cruise Line brochure and came across a nice little reason as to why Disney believes in using Travel Professionals.  I love having Disney on our side!  Here is what they say:

Why Use a Travel Agent?
They're Experts.  Working with a Travel Agent saves you time and effort.  They're your insider connection.  Knowledgeable and informed, they're  your professional advocate---able to adapt and customize every aspect of your vacation plans.  They're experienced vacation designers who can provide tips and information you may not have considered.  They can guide you through travel rules and regulations and are always synched-in to keep you up-to-date on travel alerts and other news.

So there you go.........according to Disney I am an expert who is your advocate.  One of the things they do not mention is that if something does go wrong on your trip, I am right there to assist you, along with my entire office.  When you book online you do not have that support.  It can be scary!

Until next time...........Happy Travels!
