Which question is YOUR “implied consent” to a Travel Professional ? Which travel questions are FREE for you ?




Twenty years ago, before the internet, everyone turned to a Travel Professional for all their questions.  And today, though the internet exist, most folks still do !

Why ?
Who wants to get blind sided with answers YOU don’t know ?
With questions YOU never thought to ask ?

At what question, should you, as a consumer, know that you want to lean on a Travel Professional with your travel plans ?  That YOU have given your “implied consent” or formed a verbal contract ?

With your 1st call to a Travel Professional !  Even when the question is ONLY about cost !

Travel Professionals, cruise lines, and Tour Operators have paid “big bucks” in providing websites for your answers.  Even price !
So if you want to make all your travel plans yourself, without turning your travel plans over to a Travel Professional, then … Don’t make that call !

According to thefreedictionary.com … Implied consent … Is the granting of permission for health care without a formal agreement between patient and the health care provider.  In essence, the patient is reaching out to the Health professions for needed care, and in turn, will be paid.

Same holds true in the travel world.  You reach out to a Travel Professional for guidance, and in turn, you’ve already given your “implied consent or verbal agreement” that you will turn over your travel plans to that agent to handle.

For those consumers who only “use” an agent for insight, without allowing them to be paid by a cruise line or a tour operator for their travel, are actually stealing !  Before pointing fingers at a “shop lifter at a  store”, is not STEALING TIME of equal value ?

I know folks who will call a professional for insight, such as for computers and cameras.  And then will turn to the “net” and buy cheaper.  Is that not stealing too ?  Was not the information you received “worth” the added cost of the purchase ? 

So which travel questions are FREE to consumers, without making your purchase through the Travel Professional ?  Other than the answers you find online >>> NONE !

FREE ANSWERS (whether it be verbal, by email, or even FB messenger) are intended ONLY for the Travel Professionals own personal customers.  Answers to questions, for any other purpose, other than the intension to buy, are NOT free !

Time will tell, if the agent must start charging callers upon their 1st call.  Doesn’t take but a “few bad apples” to cause all the many rules, we already have, in our world today !  Causing the innocent to have to pay out of pocket too !

If you purchase your travel though a Travel Professional, how can you help ??
Ask family & friends, if they too, are purchasing their travel through a Travel Professional.
HELP KEEP YOUR TRAVEL INSIGHT FREE ... FOR YOU !
