WHY THE DIY METHOD OF BOOKING A TRIP IS TOTALLY OVERRATED

I don't know about you, but I sure am busy. Life gets filled to the brim and sometimes it always seems like there is never enough time in a day! When it comes to travel did you know that the average person spends 20-40 hours researching and planning their destination? Now that is a lot of valuable time. And that's is to a place you are familiar with. The amount of time can double or triple if you are headed somewhere new, or if you are trying to plan a group vacation.

Not only are you wasting precious time and causing yourself possible aggravation, but studies have shown that an experience travel agent can save you an average of $800 or more per trip. Who doesn't want to save time and money?

Don't get me wrong, I am all for DIY and Pinterest creations, but when it comes to travel the DIY method is totally overrated. So what does a travel agent such as myself bring to the table?

Now that’s concierge service.
