To Be There When You Need Us
Sometimes the perfectly planned dream vacation hits snags, like a missed plane connection, a front desk clerk who can’t find your hotel reservation or a medical emergency. When you book with me, all you have to do is make one simple phone call and I will handle the rest. Don’t just take my word for it, here’s what recognized travel experts have to say about compelling reasons to consult a travel professional:
“Why do I still like agents? A competent travel adviser can be your greatest asset when you’re planning a trip. Good travel agents have an edge over almost any other seller of travel. They know what you want. They speak your language. And they’re there for you when you run into trouble.”
Christopher Elliott, ombudsman, National Geographic Traveler magazine.
“It’s clear agents can likely save travelers big money and help set a realistic itinerary. Even where they weren’t cheaper, the agents competed with what we could find on our own. And we were impressed where they did save us money, in particular with hotels.”
Jane Hodges, Wall Street Journal
“Having a travel agent advise you is now more important than ever,” as fees, surcharges, and other travel restrictions have become more confusing for consumers. “Travel is one of the most complicated purchases.”
Henry Harteveldt, Travel Industry Analyst, Forrester Research

Why Use a Travel Agent?
Planning a trip today can be confusing and time consuming. A travel agent not only arranges the various modes of transportation, but a travel agent also may be able to save you money with early booking discounts, special fares, hotel deals and travel advisories.
When you travel, you book through people, and those people earn commissions. In the travel industry, commissions are almost always included in the price. When you book directly, you contact many diverse companies in order to satisfy your transportation, destination, activity, and hospitality needs. As you contact each company, the employees you speak with, including desk agents and phone operators, will typically receive the commissions generated from your bookings. These people work for the companies with which you are doing business and are paid to represent their interests, with little ability to coordinate with each other.
When you go through an independent agent, the independent agent simply earns the same commissions that the other individuals would have otherwise received. In the end, you won't pay more for booking through us, but you will benefit from a higher level of service. As an independent agent, we work for you and our loyalties lie with you. From the day we receive your first call until the day you return home, we will be working hard to ensure that your destinations and connections flow smoothly together. We pay attention to your goals, research your options and, once you approve, we handle your bookings. All of our work is done at no charge to you. Fostering long-term relationships with our clients is our primary goal and we will strive to exceed your expectations each and every time you allow us to serve you. Someone is making a commission when you travel, so wouldn't you rather that person be working for you?
