Why Book with A Travel Advisor?

Get Better Deals!

Travel Advisors are usually acting under a Travel Agency and choose their Travel Agency based on the suppliers they would like to book for. 

In my case, I chose a Travel Agency that specializes in Disney, Universal, Cruises, and All-Inclusive Resorts because this is the travel that I enjoy the most and want to help you with!

The best part about a Travel Agency that specializes in a certain supplier is that they can get better deals than some of the other agencies out there!

These better deals can include:

  • Cheaper Pricing
  • Resort, Cruise, or Activity Credit
  • Flexible Cancellation

How Do I Keep Your Information Secure?

Travefy

Travefy prioritizes the security of your data and offers multiple layers of protection. All data is encrypted both at rest and in transit, using modern encryption standards. This will keep your information and any credit card authorizations you make secure.

Additionally, it allows me to create forms, proposals, and beautiful itineraries that you can take with you on your vacation using the Trip Plans app!

How do I get Paid?

Commissions

Travel Advisors make a commission based on what they book for you. This commission is usually paid about 1-2 months after you travel, so it is a lagging payment. 

The commission is not baked into the price of your vacation! 

The price that a Travel Advisor can get you is either the same price or better than what you could get yourself on the supplier website. Yes, I have checked and this is true!!!

Once your vacation is booked, I will provide you with my full support until you are back from your travel! Some extras that I provide include a full itinerary with app functionality so you can take it with you, watching for deals that I can get added onto your booking (certain suppliers allow this), any trip rescheduling/cancellations, etc.
