"Why should I use a travel professional when it’s so easy to book online?"

If your car engine needs tuning, do you open the hood and try to wing it, or do you take it to an expert mechanic? If your plumbing system goes awry, do you run around armed with nothing but a wrench and hope, or do you call on someone with the proper equipment?

Traveling should be approached with the same amount of care. When planning the most important trips of your life, you likely won’t have the best possible experience if you try to plan everything on your own. Don’t rely on a computer! Here’s why:

Travel agents can save you money. For example, they have access to airfares that may not be published online, and they often work with tour operators who offer the agent special prices that you wouldn’t be able to obtain on your own.

Agents can also set you up with amenities you wouldn’t receive otherwise. Because they are industry professionals, agents have special relationships with hotels, resorts, and cruises. If a hotel knows that the booking comes from this type of relationship, you’re more likely to have access to features like free room upgrades, late check-outs, or complimentary treats.

If you use an agent, you’ll have someone to call if things go wrong. Imagine you’re in a foreign country, you miss your connecting flight, and you’re not sure who in the airport will understand you. Think of it as 24-hour emergency service! In sticky situations, you can’t always just use your wits to figure your way out. Use someone with intimidate knowledge and connections to your destination.

Pros will know how to tailor a trip based on your tastes and budget.  Personal research can be extremely valuable in helping to broaden your knowledge and to get inspired—but wouldn’t you prefer to consult someone who researches travel daily as part of their job? Protravel International agents, for instance, have an average of 20 years of experience in customizing vacations for their clients. You’ll never get the equivalent of 20 years by reading a few articles.

We are not your average booking engine. Speak to a specialist and you’ll understand the difference.
