Does planning your upcoming vacation feel like just another item on your to-do list?
Then it's time to reach out to Susan Troy, Elite Travel Concierge! (I'm your MacKID publisher and also a travel agent!)
Researching your dream vacation can take a LOT of time. I've done the research and am an expert on several destinations, let me help you plan your vacation without all the work! Together we'll make your dream vacation come true by finding the right destination while sticking to your budget.
You work hard to save for your vacation, and planning your getaway should be fun!
Here are a few reasons why booking with a travel agent is a great idea:
1. No Booking Fees!
My services are complimentary. And, you never pay any extra to have the added assurance and security that comes with booking with a travel agent. Why not get the service and expertise of a travel agent for FREE, while helping to support a small business?
2. You'll Save a Ton of Time and Overwhelm
There's no need to waste your time starting from square one planning your vacation. You'll invest a ton of time and just be overwhelmed. Instead, I'll walk you through the trip planning process and make experienced recommendations. You won't be overwhelmed and you won't spend hours researching!
3. Personalized Service
Why trust your vacation to a generic call center?
The difference between booking with an online travel company (Orbitz, Expedia, Costco, etc.) and Elite Travel Concierge is SERVICE!
You will have ONE person to deal with. ONE person accountable for your vacation. ONE person to handle all the details, questions, and follow-up.
Nothing is worse than booking a vacation and having added stress and hassles dealing with a nameless person in a call center who doesn't know you and isn't familiar with your reservation.
There's no benefit to you, the customer, to pay the same price (or more) for generic impersonal service, when you can have a qualified and knowledgeable agent working for you personally.
4. No Gimmicks or Bait and Switch
Who hasn't thought they found an AWESOME deal, merely to proceed to the check-out screen, and see the price skyrocket with taxes, fees, and additional charges? And that great airfare you found? It's likely a limited fare and will stick you with extra fees.
But not when you use a travel agent! I'll always outline the costs included in the pricing and remind you of other costs you might need to consider before locking in your vacation. And I can typically avoid putting you in restricted seats for your air travel (for the same price)!

5. Higher Quality Rooms
Do you like views of roofs and parking lots? Unfortunately, those "Super Saver" rooms you'll find on a discount booking site are normally the least desirable room on the property.
The newest, most updated, and renovated rooms are reserved for travel suppliers booked via Travel Agencies. Resorts have contracts guaranteeing a certain level of room when we book your vacation package with our trusted suppliers.
You won't have to worry about what you are getting when you book your package with a travel agent.
6. Reputable Suppliers and Resorts
There are thousands of resorts out there to choose from. I stay informed on which ones are getting great feedback and which ones are disappointing visitors. And the network of travel agents reaches far and wide, so if I don't have inside intelligence on a location, I can go to my huge network for info. I only book with our reputable, tried, and tested suppliers so I set my clients up to have the best experience.
7. Better Pricing
We often have access to better deals and promo codes than you'd be able to find on your own because of our relationship with suppliers. It's always fun to find a lower-priced package than a client can find on their own!
8. I'm a Travel Expert!
I've booked vacations for families from all over the U.S. and Canada to Disney, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Mexico, Europe, and beyond. In addition, I'm an avid traveler and have visited all of these destinations, with my family or on my own. And if I haven't been there, someone on my team has and can provide great resources.
I'm also a graduate of the Disney College of Knowledge and have traveled to both Disneyland and Disney World several times. Plus, my team is filled with Disney EXPERTS who always have so much to share.
Let me assist in your itinerary planning and answer all your travel-related questions. Why waste hours searching for answers online, when I'm just a phone call or email away?
9. Unexpected Situation? I'll Help!
Sometimes tricky situations can come up while you're on vacation. When you work with a travel agent you'll be armed with all the right phone numbers to call, and I'll be in your back pocket to push things along as needed.
