Expertise and Knowledge: A travel advisor has in-depth knowledge and experience in the travel industry. They can offer valuable insights and advice on destinations, accommodations, and activities that may not be readily available online. A travel agent can tell you everything you need to know before you go and give you good advice so that you have a great time. Plus most travel advisors (TA) love travel and are off somewhere new all the time so they can tell you about places they think you would enjoy if you need inspiration.
Exclusive access to special inventory and upgraded amenities on Cruises, Hotels, Resorts, Tours and more.
Early booking discounts. A travel advisor can help you save money by finding the best deals and promotions, as well as avoiding hidden fees and costly mistakes.
It's a myth that working with a travel agent will automatically cost you more; most get paid via commissions from the hotel or outfitter. Sure, some travel agents do charge a fee for putting together an itinerary, but some will credit you that fee fully or partially if you end up booking the trip through them. A fee can also be charged to prevent wasting an travel advisor's time and energy. This helps weed out people who are serious about booking. There are a good amount of people that will milk TA's for information, itineraries and packages and than will book for themselves.
You don't have the time, energy, or patience to do a lot of research.
Support and Peace of Mind: If anything goes wrong during your trip, a travel advisor can provide support and assistance. They can also offer peace of mind by offering travel insurance options and ensuring you have all the necessary documents and information for a stress-free journey.
