This was the response I got the first time I attempted to use a travel agent. I'd asked how exactly it was that they could help me and what it is that they really did for me.
It probably goes without saying, but I booked my own vacation.
Say good-bye to travel agents that are too busy to respond to you, that have too many clients to give your vacation the attention it deserves, and that merely book your trip and send you on your way.
The quote above came directly from a client who had run into that exact problem, but they weren't the only one. Client after client has come to me specifically for my promise to keep my client roster small in order to give each and every vacation the attention to detail that it deserves. They'd found in the past that instead of totally handing off the planning to a travel agent, they were finding themselves needing to stay on top of all of the details of their trip because their agent simply had too much on their plate.
Which sort of defeats the purpose of hiring a travel agent, you know?
Like my experience with the travel agent who didn't even have time to answer my questions, or my clients' experiences with agents that didn't do much more than book the trip, you might also be ready to work with an agent that's going to give your magical escape all of the attention that it deserves.
Magical Escape Vacations is a travel agency built on a commitment to a small client roster.
Ready to let someone else actually worry about the details for you?
My promise? I won't take on more than 10 clients at any given time. What does this mean for you?
It means that I'll have the time to give your trip the attention it deserves - to truly plan a vacation that is geared to your wishes and hopes, and not just a cookie-cutter plan I send to every client.
It means that I'll be on top of all of the deadlines for you - I'll be sure to remind you of upcoming payment due dates, when it's time to start thinking about dining reservations, and more.
It means that I'll do the "dirty" work for you - need to call Disney but don't want to sit on hold? Have no interest in being ready by 5:45 am Eastern time to book those dining reservations? I've got you covered.
And it means that when you email me, I respond. It means that you get the attention you deserve as a client.
