Group travel is the way to go for budget-savvy travelers, as group discounts can add up to significant savings on everything from airfare to accommodations to events venues. No one is better positioned to facilitate budget-conscious group travel and business event planning than a knowledgeable travel agent.
Having a travel agent on your side while navigating all the complexities of travel and event planning can alleviate the stress of making travel and accommodation arrangements. It also allows event organizers a streamlined communication process so they can focus on what they do best while an experienced travel agent takes care of all the logistics.
A travel agent who is available at the beginning, middle, and end of the process means that if any problems arise, they can communicate directly with the right contacts at airlines and venues and provide expert troubleshooting assistance to overcome challenges and ensure that events flow smoothly.
While many travelers think they’re getting the best rates by booking directly with suppliers or online travel agencies, that is often not the case. An experienced and well connected travel agent is your key to navigating the world of travel and event planning to get the most bang for your buck and access the most extensive network of travel services providers. This is how you create group travel experiences and events that wow.
