MYTH 1: All Travel Agents and Agencies are the Same.
FACT: Every travel agent is different and has a different area that they specialize
in. So, depending on what type of trip you are looking to take one travel agent
will suit you better than another. That’s why it is important when planning a trip
to find a travel agent that specializes in where you want to go.
MYTH 2: No One Uses Travel Agents Anymore.
FACT: Travel agents still sell 51% of all airline tickets, 87% of all cruises, 81%
of all tours and packages, 45% of all car rentals and about 47% of all hotels.*
MYTH 3: Travel Agents are Trying to Cheat Me if They Don’t Quote Me the
Cheapest Price.
FACT: Travel agents know the ins and outs of different itineraries. While you
might find one that is a little bit cheaper, that cheaper itinerary might involve a
whole slew of headaches. For example, longer waits at the airport and odd
travel times. A travel agent will be looking to get you the best value for your
money spent, which should include the most direct and time friendly itinerary
they can find. Unless you have told them you would prefer to have the cheaper
options presented as well expect value to be a factor included in the trip they plan.
