Why Use A Travel Agent?

Lately there have been a ton of articles from reputable sources like Forbes, NY Times, and Travel Pulse swirling around the internet about the ‘travel agent comeback’. With the Internet and the ability to book online the travel world has changed immensely, and we’re happy to say that travel agents are here to stay!

A particular article stood out that we wanted to share with our travelers and potential clients. Seth Kugel, a writer for the NY Times Frugal Traveler section, recently published a test of agents versus online search engines. In his test agents won “nearly every time, on both price (the objective part of the test) and service (what you might call the essay question). In other words, the agents suggested alternate routes, gave advice on visas and just generally acted, well, more human than their computer counterparts.”

There are countless reasons and benefits to using a travel consultancy like Luxury Trips, especially when it comes to the journey of a lifetime. Traveling to foreign places for the first time can be intense and overwhelming in the planning stages and that’s where we come in. Let Luxury Trips inspire you, guide you and curate your trip from the ground up.
