Top 5 Reasons You Should Use a Travel Advisor from House of Travel!

It’s very common: A lot of our first-time clients at House of Travel have never worked with a travel advisor before. You may be in the same boat, and are wondering: is it worth it? What can a travel advisor actually do for me—that I couldn’t do myself?

From our destination expertise to our industry connections, from VIP amenities to exclusive experiences we can design that make your vacation extra special, there are so many ways our team can enhance your trip. Honestly, the list goes on and on (and that’s why so many of our first-time clients become clients for life).

But, if we had to choose the TOP reasons you should work with a travel advisor on your next vacation, here’s what we’d say:

1. Working with a travel advisor is WAY more efficient.

In fact, it’s more efficient in two different ways. On the one hand, we save you tons of time while planning your vacation—by taking all of the planning and booking off your plate. But we also make your time spent traveling more efficient, by creating a well-thought-out itinerary for you that seamlessly maximizes your time in your destination.

Plus, if something goes wrong while you travel, you don’t have to waste time trying to fix it, because we’ll do it for you. Instead of waiting in a looooong line to rebook your flight if it gets canceled, you can just give us a call and we’ll take care of it.

2. Without a travel advisor, you could be leaving money on the table.

No, a travel advisor won’t always be able to get you the “cheapest deal.” What we CAN do, however, is make sure you’re getting the best value for your trip. We have access to unadvertised pricing and special promotions that can get you more bang for your buck. Plus, our industry affiliations mean we can pass on exclusive perks and even upgrades to our clients, and these added amenities can really enhance your trip (at a price you won’t be able to find on your own).

3. You get expert—and honest—advice.

With so many travel “influencers” out there, not to mention paid online reviews, it can be hard to know who to trust when it comes to travel advice. Our guidance is informed by our personal travel experience. We cut through the clutter and give it to you straight, and we won’t sell you a property or experience that we KNOW won’t meet your—or our—standards.

4. We reduce the overwhelm.

Your vacation time and money is precious, and you want to make sure you spend it right. But all too often that means sifting through the thousands of options online—without getting any closer to knowing which resort, property, or destination is right for you.

But we have the insider intel on which places and properties are worth the vacation investment, and  we know what makes each property uniquely suited to certain travelers and families. That means instead of you having to wade through 300 options … we present you with the top three, and you take your pick. Overwhelm banished!

5. We advocate for you.

If you book a cruise directly with a cruise line or a hotel room directly with the hotel, the representative’s loyalty doesn’t lie with you … and lies with the cruise or hotel they work for. But a travel advisor works for YOU. That means their top priority, always, is your comfort and needs. If something doesn’t live up to your expectations while on your trip, your travel advisor will be in your corner trying to remedy the situation.
