5 Reasons Why You Need a Travel Agent in 2024! Here we go….1). They are often CheaperIndependent Travel Agents work like brokers. They are completely independent & so, unlike going to a specific company like Virgin or BA, who only sell you their holidays & have set prices, Independent Travel Agents can search a whole library of travel suppliers to find you the best prices. They also have access to trade only suppliers, that the general public would not be able to access. They have access to special deals & rates and they can often price match, if not beat other quotes that you may have found. Plus they can often point out the hidden charges that make the holiday look cheaper elsewhere. 2). They are FREEIndependent Travel Agents are completely free to use. They get paid a commission from the hotels, airline or travel suppliers for booking with them. The Travel industry is highly competitive. There are thousands of hotels for example & not enough guests to fill all of the accommodation available. Commission is attached to everything in the Travel Industry, so if you book with a big online booking site like booking.com - they will receive the commission. If you book through an Independent Travel Agent - they will receive the commission. 3). They are ConvenientSome people love researching & planning all their holiday trips and some people absolutely hate it. If you hate it, well it’s a complete no-brainer to let someone else do all the work for you. It’s less hassle than searching online, it’s less time consuming to research and look for places and even if you love doing all of the research, using a Travel Agent is still going to save you the time actually booking and a lot less stressful than making sure you’ve done everything right yourself.4). They can provide a Personalised ServiceIndependent Travel Agents can cater to your specific needs and requirements. They can create a bespoke package that matches what you want & need. For example, you might think Santorini is the perfect place to visit for you and your young family, when in fact it is not suitable at all for buggies or pram, as everything is accessed by stairs - lots of them. 5). They are ResourcefulIndependent Travel Agents have access to suppliers that the general public do not. They have access to special tours and excursions that are only available to book with a travel agent - for example exotic tours, treks, private jets, boats etc. They have also built relationships with hotels & suppliers, which can help get you the best rooms, best seats or let you know if there are any little extras that the hotels are offering and that you are entitled to.
