Why We Travel

Posted on by Lucky n Love

The top reason why we travel for most people is to explore new destinations and experience different cultures. This world of ours is massive and very diverse. Each destination has unique landmarks, architecture, natural wonders, local flavors, and different experiences. We vacation to surround ourselves with and experience all those unique things.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.” – said, Saint Augustine. You learn about the culture of the countries you visit. If you talk to locals, you will learn about their traditions and history. Experience things that you could never experience at home. You will see beautiful places and landscapes, meet new people, and your way of thinking may change. You may try activities that you have never tried before. After returning from a trip, you will definitely see the place you call home with new eyes.

When you book online you have to pay the full cost up front no matter when you will be traveling. If you book with a travel advisor, you make a deposit and can make payments along the way interest-free until the final payment is due.

Online travel sites do not let you lock in the price or save your space until you make the full payment. A travel advisor can put your reservation on hold to give you time to confirm & coordinate with others.

Travel Deals Too Good To Be True

Posted on by Lucky n Love

These days it’s pretty easy to find cheap travel deals online. A search of “caribbean cruises” or “all inclusive Mexico vacations” will turn up thousands and thousands of results. Do you have the time to sort through and verify all of those results? With so much information on the web, tread lightly if you don’t know the source.

 

Be aware of online travel scams and resort walk policies; the property booked can move you to another hotel. A professional travel advisor will help you avoid your dream vacation being turned into a nightmare.

Online travel sites are a good resource when you are first starting to plan your next trip to get an idea of what type of resort or destination you might be looking for. Take that information and contact a travel advisor who will help you sort through it and select the best options for you. Dedicated travel professionals spend several weeks every year traveling and obsessively testing the travel products that they sell. They make the travel mistakes so you don’t have to.

 

There are numerous consumer complaints that have been filed regarding travel booked online. Here is just one example that caught our attention; “Booked thru Expedia for the Flamingo resort in St Martin. The pictures look great, the rooms clean and neat. Upon arrival we noticed an odor, had mosquitoes swarming us and the room was less than clean and far from the pictures we saw.”

We would not have recommended this property to our clients. Buyer beware because the travel deals you find online are not always what they seem.
