Travel News and Alerts

When do you need a travel agent?

• Travel agents can guide an inexperienced traveler through taking a first trip overseas, when traveling to a destination where tourism is less developed or when the trip is to multiple cities.
• A travel agent can often help find the best prices on tours and cruises with exclusive promotional offers and deals. Estimated savings can be anywhere from $500 to $1,000 on international airfare and tours.
• An agent is key when you want to embark on a trip of a lifetime such as the inaugural sailing of a spectacular ship, a Disney vacation or The Passion Play at Oberammergau, to name just a few.
• When your trip involves coordinating with a group of friends or family members who live all across the county, an agent can keep things organized.
