I am proud to have completed Tourism Australia's training program to become a certified Aussie Specialist.
The main advantage of using a travel agent is to pass over the hard work of finding and arranging your holidays.
When you plan adventure travel with multiple destinations there are so many elements to think about. Why not let someone who does it for a living take the strain and put it all together for you?
As anyone who has searched for holidays on the internet will know, you can lose hours upon hours to it - firstly you can easily get distracted, secondly there's sooo much choice that you end up overwhelmed - how do you know where is really worth visiting or indeed staying? I have either been myself, or know experts who have been to every destination I recommend, so can give you honest opinions and answer any questions you may have in order to find exactly what you're looking for.
The second reason for booking with a travel agent is to benefit from the security of ATOL or ABTA bonding. As recent events have demonstrated it really pays to have this extra level of security and our reputation depends on us getting it right. To me, it's really important that my clients have a great holiday - I look upon it as though it was my own holiday and what I would want. I will ensure you have the best travel experience.
Your final contract will be with the tour operator, but that doesn't mean I step away from the booking - I am still your point of contact for all questions and will be there for you throughout: sending out your travel documents, coordinating everything for a smooth departure, available if needed whilst you are on holiday and here to ensure your safe return.
Finally I love to hear about the trip afterwards and have had many lovely catch ups with clients seeing their photos and hearing all about their trip over a cup of tea - one of the many perks of my work!
