We loved seeing this article last week by Christopher Elliott, popular travel author and travel columnist and founder of a consumer advocacy non-profit. In it he describes his 10 reasons why you need a travel advisor for your post-pandemic vacation:
Prepare you for the travel experience
Understand where you're going
Screen every travel company
Hold your hand
Help you navigate the rules of travel
Be available to you 24/7
Leverage insider contacts to help you have a smoother trip
Go the extra mile to get you home
Solve your problems
Help you secure a no-hassle refund if necessary
I think our clients would agree with his list. We work hard to thoroughly research options for clients and plan with them to ensure their trip goes smoothly. We are staying on top of hotel openings, CDC guidelines and travel advisories to best advise our clients based on their comfort level with travel. Additionally, our suppliers are thoroughly vetted to help ensure company solvency and protect our clients.
In the article, Elliott also describes his own experience when his travel advisor “saved” him while he was abroad during the pandemic lockdown. For a link to the full story, click here.
