When should you hire a travel agent?

If you are planning a trip for yourself, you may not need to consult a travel agent. However, if you are traveling with others or plan to take advantage of many of the travel-related services offered by agents, it is often a good idea to use one. Here are some tips on when to hire a travel agent:

– If you have never traveled before and want to plan your trip.

– If you have specific interests or plans in mind and don't want to spend hours researching each destination on your own.

– If your budget is limited and you want help finding the best deals on hotels, airfare, and other travel products.

– If you want someone else to make all the decisions for you and help manage logistics (e.g., reservations, transportation).

What questions to ask when interviewing a travel agent?

  • You'll also want to inquire about their pricing policies and how they handle different types of bookings. 
  • You should also be sure to ask about their customer service skills and if they have any advice on specific destinations or travel planning tips. 
  • Be sure to ask about any discounts or special deals the agent may be offering and if there are any restrictions or conditions associated with those offers.
