Why should I go through you and not just book my vacation on line myself?

Why should I go through you and not just book my vacation on line myself?   I get asked this question all the time, I instinctively try to give a cost rationale thinking this is what people want most, the LOWEST price.  I can compete with any price you may get directly on line, but the true value I can deliver goes way beyond price.   I decided to start this year’s blog with the most compelling reasons to book your vacation travel through my agency.

Knowledge and Experience:  Before joining Cruise Planners I had traveled all over the world for business and pleasure.  I have planned many multi-generational family trips.   I know what it is like to travel with young kids, to travel with family members medical concerns, to travel with elderly with mobility limitations and yes even to travel with 55 high school concert band members and their musical instruments to another hemisphere.   I know what it takes to plan travel.  Since joining Cruise Planners, I have supplemented my personal experiences with extensive vendor and destination training I will use this knowledge and experience to help guide your vacation decisions in a way that provides you with the best vacation possible for you and your family.  

Personalized:  It’s more than just booking a flight and a hotel, it’s about creating a customized and personal itinerary for you.   Getting to and from the airports, setting up tours and things to do while you are on vacation and making sure your special needs and requests are handled.    You only go on vacation once or twice a year why not make it the best!
When you deal with me, you will feel confident that I am putting everything into assuring it’s the right vacation for you and your family.   I want to keep your business, so the best way for me to do that is to do everything in my power to make sure you have a great vacation.    I am not looking for one time client to push a special deal to get a commission bonus, I am looking to develop a long term relationship and repeat business. 

I got your back:  Life happens and changes are inevitable.   This is where I can very helpful.  I am your single point of contact for changes.    When it comes to change I may also be able to come up with solutions you may not be able to work out on your own.  Travel vendors are much more likely to bend a little more for a travel agency than for an individual client.  As a member of Cruise Planners and our affiliation with American Express we have a lot of clout in the industry and I will use that clout for you.  


Better Value:  I hope I have convinced you that the value I can bring you is much more than price, but the best part is it will not cost you more booking your vacation through me, and there are many cases it may cost you less.  I will have access to all the deals you can get online and I will have access to exclusive deal only  I can get.  I will compare the various offers and show you how they deliver value.   You may be able to do this online but you have a day job. It takes many hours of research and analysis to do the job right, I know because it is what I do every day.     In the end you will feel confident that you got the absolute best value for your vacation.

Please keep me in mind as you plan your next family or group Vacation.
