Planning for the Magic
This is probably the number one question people ask us, right after expressing surprise that there are still travel agents today. With the internet, travel options are accessible to anyone at the click of a button. So, why would you need anyone to help you plan your vacation? Well, here are the top 5 reasons our clients choose to use a Magical Dream Vacations travel agent instead of doing it on their own:
Time is a valuable commodity, especially in our busy lives. Researching a vacation is extremely time-consuming. Time spent exploring all the various accommodations, travel options, available experiences, etc., is time away from your family. Our agents have spent hundreds of hours learning about the different destinations, and that knowledge is at your fingertips. Your Magical Dream Vacations agent will evaluate what you are looking for and present ideas based on your family’s needs, saving you valuable time.
The internet gives us access to a lot of information, too much information at times. There easily could be hundreds if not thousands of websites with information about your destination. The trick is finding out which ones have the specific information you are looking for as well as having updated and accurate information. Our Magical Dream Vacations agents have taken training and work hard to keep up with all of the changing information about the destinations they specialize in. This means you only need to go to one place to get all of the answers to your questions. Making the process simple and less stressful for you.
The internet sure is convenient but nothing replaces the personal touch. A website isn’t going to know that you and your family enjoy visiting historical sites, adventurous activities, theme parks, enjoying nighttime life, or just relaxing on a quiet beach. Your Magical Dream Vacations agent will take the time to get to know you, know what activities your family enjoys as well as what you don’t enjoy, what kind of accommodations you like, what level of service you want, and so on. This information will help them create a unique vacation experience catered right for you giving you the personal attention you love.
We of course always hope that everything will go perfectly during our family vacation, but sometimes life just doesn’t let that happen. When things go awry, it’s nice to be able to reach out to your agent and have them handle the issues for you. Often whatever is happening is stressful enough without having to add the stress of canceling or changing your plans all-around right in the mix of it all. Your Magical Dream Vacations agent is there to support you, not only when things go right, but when they go wrong easing your burden.
Many people like the feeling of community that they get when shopping locally or with a small business. Hotels, cruise lines, and other travel-related corporations price vacation with the intent of paying a portion to travel agents. When you book on your own, this money goes to the corporation. However, when you use a travel agent, that money is paid out to a smaller business. Thus, using a travel agent is an easy way to support a small business.
As you can see, your Magical Dream Vacations travel agent is so much more than just someone who reserves a vacation for you. They are your time-saving trick, personal assistant, support team, and problem solver all wrapped up in one. Sure, you can go online to plan your vacation, but it sure is easier when you use a Magical Dream Vacations travel agent instead.
