Why you need a travel agent.

Despite the fact that there are so many travel tools available online, there are still a lot of traveler who use the service of a travel agent for their travel needs. Is it really necessary?


I would say, it really is not necessary but I can give you some good reasons why you should book your travel trough a travel agent. For our tour in Hongkong, we first plan on going there by ourselves- buy our own airline ticket, make reservation for our hotel, buy tickets to theme and amusement parks, etc., that is why we bought our airline tickets. While searching for hotels and researching for a trip, which I tell you is a little harder that we thought, we came across different travel agencies offering a range of itineraries and of course prices. 

Luckily for us we came across Metro World Travel Services, who gave us a hassle free Hongkong and Shenzhen, China tour, not to mention the package, which includes the tour, hotels, tickets to theme parks and everything we need for the tour, is very cheap.

So, here is the list why you should avail of the service of the travel agent like ours:

1.Cheap - again, booking your travel trough a travel agency can be cheap, mainly because they have access to discounts which normally you can not get and they can even beat discounts offered online.
2.Convenience - I tell you, planning for itinerary is a little harder than I thought, so if you are a little lazy and would prefer just printing the itinerary which was sent to you by email, book through a travel agency.
3.Travel Documents - They will help with you with the necessary document in order to get visa, our travel agent get our visa to Shenzhen, China.
4.Customer Service - I can not guarantee every travel agency has a good customer services, but ours is good- we can always reach them by phone, give us discounts and give us tips and advice.
5.Choice - travel agency will always give different options, like choice of hotels, tours, etc.

These are only some points why its good to book your travel trough a travel agency but the bottom line is they are in the business because they surely understand the world of travelling more than you do.But of course there are also advantages of travelling independently, so its still your choice. Happy Travel : -)

Happy Travel,
