3 Reasons You Should Hire a Travel Planner
Why hire a travel planner? Well, I can think of about 1,001 reasons!
But, for your sake, I’ve narrowed it down to three. 😉
I know travel planning can be an overwhelming experience, which is why I know how beneficial it is to hire a travel pro you can trust.
Keep reading to find out my top 3 reasons to hire a travel planner for your next vacation.
Reason #3 to Hire a Travel Planner: You’re Busy
Travel planning takes time. And lots of it.
In fact, it can take 6-8 months (give or take a little) to plan a family vacation from start to finish.
Between deal hunting, property research, and making reservations, you’ll easily spend hours (and hours, and HOURS!) planning and organizing your trip.
And if COVID-19 taught us anything, it’s that plans can change on a dime.
Do you have time to read through a deluge of travel updates and changes, or would you rather hire a professional to guide you to the relevant sources of information that will actually impact you and your trip?
Not only that, but if plans change or you need to cancel your vacation, do you want to spend hours on hold with airlines, hotels, restaurants, attractions, tour guide hosts, and more? I don’t think so.
Bottom line? Travel planning (and sometimes travel canceling), when done right, takes time.
Let me do the heavy lifting!
Reason #2 to Hire a Travel Planner: Travel is Complicated!
And now more than ever!
There are more online booking sites, travel blogs, and TikTok travel “experts” than ever before.
So how do you know who to trust?
For example, let’s say you read a Facebook post from a travel “expert” who has found the trick to securing the cheapest airfare.
Is that really the best option for you?
Oftentimes, cheap airfare means you can’t pick your seat, check luggage, or even put a carryon in the overhead bin! And that on-flight beverage? Forget about it.
Knowing the details of any travel purchase is important!
And speaking of details, fine print is tricky! That “all inclusive” vacation you’ve had your eye on might be too good to be true (as in not really all-inclusive.)
It’s not uncommon for lower priced itineraries to have 8+ hour layovers or 3-4 flight connections! Plus, they often don't include transfers from the airport to your resort. Lastly, these “cheaper” options sometimes only include domestic alcohol options.
When you hire a travel pro, you have an expert in your corner who not only reads the fine print, but understands it!
Reason #1 to Hire a Travel Planner: My Services are FREE!
You read that right!
