The Benefits to Using a Travel Consultant:

• We can save you money! We use the latest technology and work hard to make sure you are getting the best deal possible. In addition we do the work for you, time is money. You'll pay the same amount, if not less, than using an on-line service. We can get you packets with information and recommend places based on personal experiences. We know when to travel for seasonal prices, what time of the year is the busiest, etc. 
  
• Who are you going to call when things take a trip for the worst? Often car rental places or hotels will not to anything do help you. You're one guest of hundreds. You can call us and we can talk to management for you! They are more likely to help someone who books trips, because they could lose business if they don't. If they don't listen to us, we can do whatever it takes to find you new accommodations, what on-line service is going to do that?
• We can research trips, things to do, where to shop, where to eat... we have the resources to find out what there is to do with the budget you have. We can make all of the arrangements for you.
