Travel deals are piling up as the busy summer travel season kicks off, which is good news for travelers looking to save on their next trip, but it also means you might be indecisive.
With cruise vacations, all-inclusive resort stays, discounted airfares and more, suppliers are offering travelers added incentives to book their summer getaways as early as possible. With short booking windows and potential savings, you might feel pressured to pick the right deal fast – and that's exactly where a trusted travel advisor can help.
Our experienced advisors can guide you through your ideal holiday, taking into account your budget and preferences, and give you access to deals that are usually unavailable to the general public.
They also have relationships with suppliers that they can leverage to help customers earn additional savings or special perks, like free room upgrades, for example.
Travel advisors can also package trips to save you money and reduce your worries.
If you've chosen a specific hotel deal or cruise line plan, that's only one aspect of your trip. You'll also need to arrange flights, in addition to ground transportation, sightseeing, restaurant reservations, etc.
So while a big discount may be attractive, that doesn't mean the overall cost of your trip won't rise sharply. A travel advisor can help you budget for your entire vacation so you don't regret a discounted booking.
Not only can your advisor help you come up with the best plan, but they can also offer personalized support when things don't go according to plan. From cancelled flights to damaged passports, your advisor will step in and use their expertise and connections to get you back on track.
If you're not sure where to start looking for a quality travel advisor, consider the American Society of Travel Advisors' (ASTA) easy-to-use directory, which allows you to filter for ASTA-certified advisors based on destination and type of trip.
