Why a Trusted Travel Advisor is Important

Finding that dream vacation can be a challenge.
However, using a travel agent ensures the trip is in good in hands at all times. Let an agent plan and prepare and adjust if needed and the getaway is bound to be a success.
Earlier this month, AmaWaterways celebrated travel agents for National Travel Agent Day.
The luxury river cruise line thanked the travel agent community for all their hard work.
Additionally, AmaWaterways listed it’s top five reasons having a travel advisor is vital for the entire vacation process:
1. Time is your most valuable asset – spend it wisely! A travel advisor will work directly with the travel supplier to review all the options available to determine which ones best match your needs. They’ll make sure you have the right travel documents and even recommend additional activities that can really personalize your vacation experience.
2. Peace of mind is an important part of Wellness. Having a professional advisor and planning important short and long terms travel goals with them ensures that you not only get the best value for your investment but also encourages spontaneous getaways that can add even more to your overall wellbeing.
3. Professional backup when you need Plan B. No one can predict the weather or political events but with a travel advisor, you always have someone ready to step in and work with the travel supplier to help rearrange things if unexpected obstacles appear in your path.
4. Expert knowledge and professional tools at your disposal. Your travel advisor, just like your financial advisor, studies the products available, watches for the best value offers on the market that meet your needs, knows who to call for detailed information, and has tools to access products and offers not always easily accessible to the general public.
5. Guaranteed return on investment. Most important, the right investment in travel provides the best long-term returns for you and your family by creating the smiles and laughter to enjoy today and building the happy memories to cherish tomorrow.
Travelers should also be aware of the travel agent’s skills and expertise they work with.
Make sure to find out if they’re licensed, have completed any special training programs or have hands-on experience with travel products. It's also important your travel agent knows what your travel wants and needs are as it pertains to your overall budget.
