Reasons why Travelers need a Travel Agent

Do you think the Internet is the best option when it comes to booking your vacation? Think Twice.
Meanwhile, let me tell you why you need a Travel Agent!

1. Travel Agents can save you money.

Yes, you heard that right! Travel agents usually don’t charge customers for their services. Instead their payment comes through hotels and wholesalers, meaning you can tap into a free service. A travel agent can help delineate exactly how much a trip will cost, so there are no surprises. Does that visit to the theme park on Sunday include lunch, for example, or do you have to buy your own? A travel agent can guide you and save you money.

2. They save you Time too.

Planning a trip really can be time consuming and Travel agents can ease your planning pain. There’s no need for you to spending hours and weeks researching the perfect trip during a busy work week. Instead, tell your needs to the Travel agent and they will put together an entire vacation planned and customized for you.

3. They are experts in the field

They know more than you. They can give you insider tips and advice, using their education and personal experience to guide your vacation decisions in a way that provides you with the best vacation possible for you and your hard-earned investment.They have access to the personal feedback from hundreds of clients, and their own personal travel agent network and will provide you with the insights.

4. You can count on them

After a trip is planned, things don’t always turn out exactly as expected. A flight is delayed, a piece of luggage gets lost, a passport is missing or you’re not well. When this happens, you can count on your Travel Agent to resolve problems. You don’t want to be the one hanging on your cell phone to re-arrange a flight. If anything should go wrong during your trip, you can rely on them to assist you. Your travel agent takes on a great deal of responsibility when booking your holiday, they want you to have a happy and a successful trip so that a satisfied customer will come back and book again. A travel agent will suggest and arrange alternate travel arrangements, help you to deal with any travel emergency you may have, and put you in touch with the right local people to answer your needs.

5. They help you meet the purpose of your Trip - Experience!

One must have the best travel technology partner to setup robust OTA. Find out a company with great infrastructure, a unique product team in core, implementation team for customer interface and must have quicker to go market approach. This will let you focus on other non technology but IMP tasks.

Don't sell deals, sell expertise!!!

Many agents advertise deals on their booking platforms and send promote it. It's tough to beat deals on the Internet, and will be even tougher proceeding further. Upgrade your booking engine and define a clear strategy to sell expert advice and personalized service.

Plan your segment well

In general, global market has two traveler types. 1 - Those with more money than time and 2 - those with more time than money. Target both segments but travelers with more money than time value purchasing a agency's expertise and ability to handle and manage all aspect of the trip.

Engage and sell through social media

We highly recommend social presence for your travel business. Get your customers be fans and to post reviews of your services. Engage them with insights and tips. A facebook page is best used, when it's less about selling and more about engaging.
