The Travel Deals Are Everywhere But an Advisor Can Help You Find the Right Ones

Travel deals are piling up as the busy summer travel period gets underway and while that’s good news for travelers looking to save on their next getaway it also means the potential for decision paralysis.

Whether it’s a cruise vacation, an all-inclusive resort stay or discounted airfare, suppliers are giving travelers added incentive to book their summer travel as soon as possible. The potential for savings in a sometimes brief booking window can apply pressure to pick the right deals and fast and that’s where a trusted travel advisor can help.

Experienced advisors can guide you toward your ideal vacation by taking into consideration your budget and preferences and typically have access to deals the general public doesn’t.

They also have relationships with suppliers that they can put to work to help secure their clients additional savings or exclusive perks like a free room upgrade, for example.

Travel advisors can also package your travel to save you money and leave you with fewer aspects to worry about.

If you choose a particular hotel deal or cruise line offer, that’s only one aspect of your trip. There are still flights to arrange in addition to ground transportation, excursions, restaurant reservations and much more. 

So while that hefty discount may have been enticing, it doesn’t necessarily mean the cost of your entire trip won’t begin to rise quickly. A travel advisor can help you budget for your complete vacation so you aren’t left regretting your discounted booking.

In addition to pinpointing the right deals for you, an advisor can offer personalized support in the event that something doesn’t go as planned. From flight cancellations to destroyed passports, advisors are there to step in, using their expertise and connections to get you back on track.

If you’re not sure where to begin your search for a stellar travel advisor, consider the American Society of Travel Advisors’ (ASTA) easy-to-use directory where you can filter ASTA-verified advisors based on your destination and trip type.
