Avoid the TRAVEL NIGHTMARE and Enjoy a Relaxing Trip

Many have heard, or experienced them on their own. THE TRAVEL NIGHTMARE!

Whether it’s the getting-somewhere-that-looks-nothing-like-the-beautiful-photos-on-the-web-site scenario or the getting-bumped-from-a-flight-on-a-no-name-airline scenario or worse, the getting-stranded-or-rerouted-for-days scenario -- the stories are endless.

Who do you call? What do you do? When there is no travel specialist in the mix, choices are limited.

Of course we encourage the use of travel specialists – we are travel specialists. It’s how we earn our living. But, we have seen and heard enough of the horror stories to want to do our very best to help customers avoid the traps and we continue to advocate the use of qualified travel specialists/consultants. Here’s why:

Travel specialists can provide advice and service and have a built-in knowledge reserve that you just can’t get off the Internet.

Don’t know when is a good time to travel to Europe or one of the islands? A travel specialist can tell you in a second when to, and more importantly, when NOT to travel to a certain place.

In today’s viral world, many think it’s easy to book online. But, let’s face it, when looking on the Internet, all resorts, beaches, rooms, cruises look perfect. The difference someone booking with us at Destinations Galore, for example, might experience is that every one of our travel specialists has traveled the world. They can help you sort through the pretty pictures and really get down to what will work for you and what won’t. A computer screen can’t do that for you.

Something else to consider is that recent media reports show a shift from booking travel on the internet mainly because people are discovering that they don’t necessarily save time or money and there are so many unanswered questions and limitations. Plus, if sudden changes arise or a problem crops up during the trip, calls to Destinations Galore, will get answered around the clock and on weekends. Not so with Internet services.

Our travel specialists are constantly updating their skills and visiting places. Recently, our consultants recertified as specialists in more than a dozen categories including certification as spa and golf specialists and have either visited or earned certificates of achievement for their knowledge and understanding of countries and islands and their travel markets including in places like Egypt, Thailand, Tahiti, Barbados, Antigua, Jamaica, St. Lucia
Turks and Caicos, among others.

And, more importantly, specialists, particularly our group, work diligently on your behalf to find upgrades. Because we know managers at nearly every resort any where, we find all options and opportunities to get our customers on the concierge level. It’s all stuff that almost never happens when you book yourself.

Let’s face it, travel is one of the best gifts in life, but can be horrible if circumstances are not what you expected. Let a travel expert ensure your good times when you travel and always book with a qualified travel specialist.
