“Travel agents still exist?” - There’s no doubt, we've all been asked this question. Honestly, it can feel impossible to summarize everything that a travel advisor does in the few seconds that we have to respond to that question.

The role of an advisor has evolved significantly in recent years. Many people now believe they can plan and book their own trips using the internet and online reviews. However, travel advisors offer much more than just booking services. They provide personalized expertise, foster relationships with suppliers, and offer support in times of crisis.

This conversation talks through how you can articulate your value to someone who may not understand the benefits of working with you. If you've stumbled over explaining why someone should work with a travel advisor versus booking a trip on their own, this episode is for you!
