Top 10 Reasons to Use a Travel Advisor

Now, more than ever, travelers are seeking assistance from travel professionals with planning their future vacations. With so much uncertainty in the world, having an expert in your corner helping you every step of the way not only helps to give you peace of mind when planning your trip, but it also ensures that you will be able to rest easy knowing that  your Travel Advisor has thought of everything for you.

So, why should you use a Travel Advisor ?

  1. You won’t pay anything additional for your vacation package when you book with a Travel Advisor versus booking your vacation directly through the destination. Utilizing an expert that can personalize your entire vacation is truly invaluable; the expertise and knowledge you’ll gain from using an Advisor will help ensure your vacation is as relaxing and worry-free as possible!
  2. Using a Travel Advisor is a huge time-saver! There are way more important things you could be doing than wasting time comparing prices on countless confusing travel websites.
  3. Travel Advisors have access to quickly find deals and special offers that may not be clearly visible for you to find in your searches.
  4. You can’t beat the customer service when you book with a Travel Advisor . You’ll never get an automated answering service when you call your Travel Advisor . Need suggestions or help sorting something out? You’ll get through to your Advisor a lot quicker than you would if you booked through some of those websites you search through. And your Advisor will do everything they can to help you get what you need, stat!
  5. Your Travel Advisor will be your main point of contact from the time you start planning until after you return from your trip. They can also be as much (or as little) involved in the planning process as you’d like them to be.
  6. Not sure where you want to travel? Your Travel Advisor will help you come up with some great ideas for destinations, while also keeping your budget in mind.
  7. Your Travel Advisor will follow up and follow through to see that all of your special needs and requests are met whenever possible, as well as make sure you are aware about any deals that you may be entitled to.
  8. When you use a Travel Advisor , you can rest assured that in the event something goes wrong on your trip or you have an emergency requiring last minute changes, your Travel Advisor will be there to do the legwork for you so you don’t need to worry about any of that.
  9. Most online travel booking sites require you to pay your entire trip cost up front, regardless of when you book. When you book with a Travel Advisor , you may be able to set up a payment plan to make smaller payments over time.
  10. Travel Advisors love what they do and truly value your business!

Hi, I’m Aly Hirst, Lead Travel Planner with Living with the Magic Vacations! For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a Disney-obsessed gal. Even though I didn’t take many Disney vacations growing up, I can remember requesting the old vacation planning videos that Disney use to send in the mail; I would watch them over and over again to learn every nook and cranny of the Walt Disney World Resort as well as the Disneyland Resort and Disney Cruise Lines. I was thrilled to be given the opportunity in college to participate in the Disney College Program for a semester – who didn’t want to spend a semester of college living and working at the Walt Disney World Resort? (Bonus for me – I moved down to Orlando in January that year so it was the best winter escape for me from snowy New England!)
