The Benefits of Working with a Boutique Travel Planner

Written by Fine Travel | 29/11/18 02:00

 You've been thinking about your dream holiday for months and you are finally ready to turn those plans into reality. However, you still have one big question: How do I pull it all together?

Although you've travelled before, concerns about whether you can find the best value for money, whether it will tick all your boxes and a lack of time are hindering you. On top of this, there are so many options (that always look great online!), you don't know who to trust, let alone what to include or exclude. 

While there are hundreds of travel websites at your fingertips, making travel experts seem unnecessary, this couldn't be further from the truth. Travel agents have day to day experience and tools to manage travel logistics and have access to specialist wholesalers with in-depth and unbiased knowledge of destinations and activities. In this blog, we discuss the benefits of working with a travel expert.


The benefits of using a Boutique Travel Planner

Even an experienced traveller can benefit from sharing their plans with a travel expert when designing their next adventure. Think of that feeling of excitement when you bump into someone at a BBQ that has just come back from the place you are planning to visit – now imagine if that person could plan and book your holiday too.  There may be no feeling worse than booking a holiday only to find out you have missed out on great information, advice and deals.

  • Simplify your inbox by dealing with just one person (your travel agent).  Save time (and free up some headspace) by letting your travel agent coordinate with different providers

  • Over time your Travel Planner becomes familiar with your travel style and expectations – be surprised when you are pre-seated on the aircraft and your gluten-free meal is already ordered

  • You'll get access to your travel agents specialist wholesale partners who (like your Travel Planner) are just as enthusiastic as you are about the destination you are heading too

  • When you book with your travel agent, you have peace of mind they are available if something unexpected comes up during your holiday. Avoid the frustration of being on hold with an overseas call centre
