Why would anyone need a travel agent anymore?

The number one reaction I get when I tell people about our new travel agency is, "Those still exist? With all of the travel booking websites available, why would anyone need a travel agent anymore?"

Below are five little-known perks to booking your next vacation through a travel agent like Aronson Concierge Vacations:

1 - Access to Special Deals and Upgrades

Travel agents get the inside scoop on new cruise ships and itineraries, hotel deals, and vacation packages. In addition, because travel partners like establishing relationships with agents, our clients often get special treatment and upgrades. On my recent honeymoon cruise in the Mediterranean, my husband and I got so many free upgrades and special opportunities I can't even remember them all (well, that might also be due to our FREE premium beverage package). This was undoubtedly due to the fact that we booked through a travel agent (thank you, Inette!). When you schedule a phone consultation with Aronson Concierge Vacations, we'll match your travel desires with all of the insider information we have to ensure that you get the most lavish vacation experience possible.

2 - Itinerary Planning

Aronson Concierge Vacations specializes in designing luxury turn-key travel experiences. We work closely with you to learn your travel desires and preferences before doing the nitty gritty research and planning work for you. From your door and back, every aspect of your vacation will be arranged. We'll make spa appointments, meal reservations, and sort out daily transportation. Do you like to get the most our of your precious time off to see as many local sites as possible? We'll find the best private tours and transport to ensure you use every moment to the fullest. Prefer a more relaxing itinerary? No problem! We'll sort out the pesky details so you don't have to lift a finger away from your poolside cocktail.

3 - Personal On-Call Contingency Planning

Unfortunately, modern day travel often involves unforeseen delays and travel changes. While the average traveler in this situation will be advised to stand on a long airport line or call an automated 800 number, when you book through Aronson Concierge Vacations you will have access to our personal 24-hour contingency hotline. Inette, Whitney, and Vanessa will personally help you rebook or adjust your itinerary so you can rest assured that your dream vacation won't be compromised.

4 - Reviews You Can Trust

While it can be fun to browse travel review websites, the information offered is only half of the story. Often, tour and travel companies pay for glowing accolades or even write reviews themselves. Aronson Concierge Vacations relies on first-hand experience and personal connections around the world to guarantee our clients are in good hands.

5 - The Chance to Pay It Forward

Aronson Concierge Vacations is committed to making a difference for the next generation in our community. When you book through us, you are also contributing to programs that support opportunities for low-income students to study abroad. We believe that travel is about experiences that will last a lifetime. What can be better than planning your own life-changing adventure knowing that you are also helping to open the world to a deserving young person?
