Why book with Gayle?
Why should you book with Gayle?
In an age where we are flooded with information and have everything at our fingertips thanks to the internet, people often wonder, is there still a need for a travel agent? Why would I call Gayle when I could do it all myself?
The problem is modern travel is very complex and while it looks as simple as booking online and packing your bag, nothing is ever that simple. You would call Gayle if you want to take the stress out of choosing and booking a holiday and then enjoying that holiday knowing that she has got your back while you are away… for any of those travel disasters that social media tells you about!
Gayle’s daily chore is to sift through the endless information that the internet can provide to create a holiday that is tailored to your needs and wants. She is an expert in her field; after all, she spends every day researching the best deals and finds out there.
Here are some reasons to consider when trying to decide if you want a ‘Do It Yourself’ or a Gayle Holiday!
Personal Service
She offers friendly, personal and professional service at a time and place (Eg. Your local coffee shop!) that suits you and she can customize your travel itinerary for a hassle free trip. She works to your budget as well as your interests and preferences.
Local Knowledge
Gayle has been travelling regularly for many years now and has experienced so many of the world’s great destinations first hand. She likes to get the inside scoop on ‘off the beaten track’ locations and the memorable restaurants that only the locals know about.
Value
The biggest reason to book with Gayle is value. Everyone is looking to save dollars where they can on their travels, whether it’s through a discounted flight, cheaper rooms or food and beverage credits. Where you save, you can spend on another experience. She has already established relationships with suppliers and wholesalers who get the latest deals and often have access to a range of discounts that often aren’t publicised to the public. Items you could save on include upgrades, airfare and cruise packages or staying more nights for less. She is going to have access to exclusive deals that you otherwise may have missed out on!
Constant Support
Picture this: you have spent months researching and finding the best travels deals and places to stay and have finally booked your ideal holiday, only to get there and realise something has gone horribly wrong that you didn’t foresee. This could be a last minute change or cancellation of a flight, a natural disaster, a double booked room, missing luggage or an insurance issue. From minor errors to major disasters, you could find yourself stuck in a tricky situation. What do you do from here? If you booked by yourself, you are really all alone, however if you have booked with Gayle, she can jump in and turn this scary situation into nothing more than a small hiccup along the way. Gayle has access to change flights last minute, upgrade hotel rooms or deal with your insurance company all from their home. Also, as an MTA – Mobile Travel Agent, she is backed up by the Head Office team members who have 24/7 support. So don’t find yourself stranded in situations like this without an agent.
VIP Treatment
Who doesn’t love the sound of receiving VIP treatment on your next trip? It is all in the details that count - whether it’s an early check in or late check out, room upgrade with views, free daily breakfast, champagne on arrival or restaurant credit, there’s no denying we all love to feel that extra bit special when we’re away. MTA Agents like Gayle have this leverage to offer you and can also gain privileged access to a range of Virtuoso preferred hotel rates and VIP access to unique places and special events.
Availability
There are times when you look on a website for a hotel room or a flight and come up against ‘no availability.’ A little secret: when you see these words, they might not actually be true. The reason is that some airlines and hotels reserve a number of rooms for travel companies to sell. So if you have left it to the last minute to book or you didn’t realise a special holiday was on in that area, don’t stress out that you will have to change your plans, get in contact with Gayle and she will no doubt have access to these.
Okay…you’re convinced! Now print this blog off to show your partner-in-travel so the argument about how to arrange the next holiday is over!
