In the age of online booking sites, using a travel advisor may feel like a thing of the past. But, advisors are more useful than simply selling airline tickets, trips to Disney World and cruises. Many travel advisors provide services or have knowledge that you just can’t get online – and sometimes, especially in times of crisis, working with a real live person is actually better!

Here are a few ways that I add value as a Travel Advisor...

Relationships
I will get to know you, your preferences, your likes and dislikes and I will help create a customized travel experience unique to you. I will select the best products that are right for you, and provide my professional guidance along the way.

Save Time, Convenient
I am a one-stop shop for every aspect of your travel needs. I will assist you with all components of the trip and give you pricing and information that is simple and clear, saving you countless hours of online research.

Destination Knowledge
I will give you direct access to me as your personal travel consultant when you book with me. I will give you tips about destinations that only travel experts who have experienced these places can give... and if I haven't been to a particular destination, I have more than 650 TravelOnly colleagues across Canada that I trust that I can refer to for advise. I will do my best to ensure that you are well prepared for the vacation of your dreams and will follow-up with you upon your return.

Industry Knowledge and Clout
I have relationships with supplier partners and my agency's relationships and clout with these supplier partners allows for the very best value, amenities and direct assistance when needed. I know who to trust and which products to offer, often with exclusive offerings not available anywhere else. I will offer you travel insurance to protect your investment and minimize financial risk to you and your family, in the event of medical emergencies, while vacationing.

Advocate and Expertise
I will monitor your bookings for schedule changes and be there to assist if an issue should arise. I will ensure you have the proper documentation you need and advise you on any special travel information required. I will answer any questions you may have.

Travel could be your biggest discretionary spend in any given year. Your limited time is another valuable resource that you don't want to waste. You want to make sure your vacation is done right.

A good travel advisor is like a good mechanic, as soon as you find one that you trust, you never want to lose them!
