WHY USE A TRAVEL ADVISOR?

WE ARE EDUCATED AND HAVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Simply put, travel advisors know more about travel than you! We can give you insider tips and advice, using our education and personal experience to guide your travel decisions in a way that provides you with the best vacation possible. We have access to the personal feedback from hundreds of clients as well as our own personal travel agent network to provide insights you can’t get otherwise.

TIME AND COST-SAVINGS

Instead of searching blindly on the Internet for hours, days, or even weeks – depending on the complexity of the travel plans – you can have an expert do the research for you, with your personal needs in mind. In addition to saving you time, we have unique access to benefits that can save you a lot of money and provide you with a better experience: free room upgrades, spa credits, and food and beverage credits are just a few of the things that agents can get you. 

WE HAVE CLOUT

Where Next Adventures is an independent affiliate of Travel Experts and can leverage the strong relationships Travel Experts has with many suppliers/consortiums (including Virtuoso) to get you things you can’t get on your own. That “sold out” room, or the connecting room you want for your extended family trip when the online sites say they aren’t available. The hard-to-get restaurant reservation or supposedly sold-out show tickets. We also have exclusive entrée to experiences you might not know are available to you.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In addition to getting you more on any particular trip, we can step in and assist you if your trip goes awry. The average traveler books one or two trips per year, typically with different travel suppliers, so they have little or no leverage when things go wrong. Travel advisors are constantly working with particular suppliers, and those suppliers value our business much more than that of the individual traveler. Thus, we have the leverage to fix things, even when the supplier isn’t directly at fault. They will step up to make things right or simply to make sure that you and your travel advisor are happy. 

ON THE CUTTING EDGE

Travel advisors are the first to know about a new resort, cruise ship or tour. We have relationships with the best travel partners who keep us informed as to the latest and greatest offerings they have. So if you want to travel on the latest and greatest, using a travel advisor is the way to go!

YOU GET MATCHED RIGHT

If you call a cruise line, hotel, or tour operator directly, they won’t tell you that their competitor is a better fit for you and your travel needs. Since we work with all suppliers, we focus on your particular needs, making sure you are matched up with the best possible options for you.

AN ONGOING RELATIONSHIP

Travel could be your biggest discretionary spend in any given year, along with your limited time, so you want to make sure it’s done right. When your travel advisor makes that happen, you’ll want them in your inner circle moving forward!
