The more you spend on vacation, the stronger the rock you’ll want by your side !


The more folks experience travel, the more they love to “go” !  Makes sense !  The more you see the World, travel continues to grow in your blood !

Too often though, folks begin to think their past travels will give them the experiences needed for their future travels.  Actually the opposite is true.

When going to new destinations, new ventures, or using new Tour Operators or cruise lines, the rules or requirements are different.  Which is the main reason to want a Support Team for all your travels.  Especially the more you are spending.

Your vacation money is special.  You  want to protect it with all your choices.  Whether it’s where you’re going or with which vendor you’ve decided to use.

Travel Agents and Cruise Specialist are not here just for your first adventure.  They are here for every adventure.  To not only help back you with your choices, but in case something were to go wrong !

One adventure or 10 adventures, does not an expert make !  This is not to cut you down for the knowledge that you’ve acquired with your past travels, but to protect you will the possible new insight that you have no idea that you might encounter.

The longer the agent has been in the travel business and the more customers an agent sends on vacation, the more experience this agent develops !

Experiences comes from problems.  Almost every customer an agents deals with has different needs, wants, and problems.   This is what helps agents learn how to “climb out of a box” when a different situation comes up.

Customers can’t expect to know the many outlets to situations because they’ve not experience anything except for their own past situations.  Yet often, the customer encounters something new for themselves.   That is why you want backing !

A backing that can help get you “out of that box” … That situation that you’ve never encountered before.  Yet the more your agent has run into a variety of situations, the better this agent can help you with your situation !

And working with an agent, who works with other agents or with staff who also encounters many different type situations, the plus this is for you !  Meaning, it’s to your advantage to be working with an agent that has more than just themselves to rely on for answers or an outlet to a situation you could possibly encounter.

Not every situation that could take place has been yet experienced.  However, if your agent has a relationship with vendors and cruise lines, again, this puts an extra plus on your side.

My main point is, the more you get travel in your blood the more you will be venturing to your dreams !  And the more adventure, the more money you will choose to invest !  Do yourself a favor, and don’t do this alone, no matter how much experience you feel you have under your belt. 
  
Your job is only to decide what you want and go fun .... Let it be another persons job to make sure you get there and have your fun, with little hassle !

 
In many cases, there is not a cost for such back-up support !  Take it !

And when I say take it, I’m not suggesting you call someone for all the know-how and then go do it on your own.  No, if you ask an agent for an answer to one question, then you choose to lean on this person for buying and managing your product for you !

It’s not about the help and answers you get “before” you make your choice !  It’s about the Support System and Team you get after the travel product is purchased ! 

Agents make very little in commission for helping you “after” you have purchased !  They truly are in this business to help you from yourself, in that “box of possible turmoil” that you have yet to experience !  Let them be your rock !
