Another reason to contact a travel consultant for your vacation planning - who will help you if you book online at one of the large internet sites? What happens if you need to change your plans? What if you want suggestions for places to visit, restaurants, things for the kids to do, etc? Some people (perhaps many) believe they will save money by booking their vacations on their own. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It is good to do some research on your own but why would you invest thousands of your hard-earned dollars in an online booking site, without being able to have a dedicated travel consultant in whom you can trust?
Your consultant can help you choose the right destination based on your wishes and needs. Let's face it. Everyone wants to save some money. But when it comes to your vacation which you have waited sometimes an entire year to come, make sure you treat yourself nicely. Would you rather come home and say, "I saved $600 by booking the cheapest room at the resort, but when I saw some of the other rooms, I wish I had spent the money on that" or would you want to come home and say, "I am so glad we went with the oceanfront room with the concierge services. We had such a great time and we deserved it!"
Your travel consultant has contacts with the various suppliers, whether cruise, resort, city packages, and can guide you to making the perfect choice for your trip.
Do you think you will get this help from an online agency? Have you ever called with a question? And what happens when you call again? Do you get the same person? Probably not. Do yourself a favor and call your travel consultant.
