As a travel agent, everyday I hear people say that they saved a bundle booking their travel online with one of the internet travel services. When I ask them why they didn’t call me or use another travel agent, they tell me that they thought that this was the only way that they could get such a “good’” deal. People just don’t understand that travel agents can not only get them the same “deals” but give them more value than the online travel companies. Below are the top 10 reasons why you should use a travel agent: 1. Expert Guidance . Travel agents are experts in the field of travel. They are there to find the right product, at the best price, for your needs. 2. Personalized Service . Using the services of a travel agency means you are not booking with an impersonal website or some voice a 1000 miles away. You are talking to your neighbour, someone who knows you and what you value in your travel experience. Someone who takes the time to find out what is important to you and finds the vacation that is just right. 3. Customer Advocate . If you have problems while you are away, your travel agent is there to assist you in resolving your concerns. If you book with a travel agency, you are less likely to experience flight, city or accommodation changes by the tour operator, as they know we will be there to stand behind you

Before you start to try to do it yourself, and before you spend too much money with online travel sites or Do-It-Yourself travel sites, think about using a travel agent
