They say that if you love what you do, you never have to work a day in your life. If travel is one of your great loves, the thought of being a travel agent has probably crossed your mind at some point. 

But in the digital age, do travel agents even have a point?!

It’s true that the role of has changed, thanks to the Internet. Travelers book their own flights online, they seek out their own accommodation… yet there is still a place for the humble agent.

Tailor-Made Trip

Those big, special trips should be remembered for all the right reasons. Things like a destination wedding, honeymoon, or trips around the world can have many moving parts — tour companies, translators, reservations. Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone manage all those for you?

Invaluable Expertise 

The most important role that a travel agent can play is that of a consultant. They know what is worth schlepping to see and what you can afford to give a miss.

Inner Circle

By being in the biz, travel agents often have access to more exclusive offers than you or I. Special deals, unique experiences, and a list of local contacts can all enhance your trip.

Finding the right accommodation that’ll fit all your travel need is the first step towards a successful trip. It’s important to do a little research before booking a hotel room, and here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your hotel.

Hotel Location

For most tourists, location is the most important thing when booking a hotel, yet sometimes we forget to check this information. Make sure to locate the hotel on Google Maps and check if it’s close to the tourist spots that you want to visit because this will save you a lot of time and money on your trip.

Reviews

Most tourists forget to check online reviews before booking a hotel, which is a huge mistake if you truly want to find the best accommodation. It’s important to read other people’s experiences, because if most of them are complaining about the same thing, such as location or noise, then you’ll know what to expect from this hotel.

Hotel Amenities

Another thing you shouldn’t forget to check before the trip is the list of amenities that are provided by the hotel, such as free Wi-Fi, parking, toiletries, mini fridge, and more. This simple step can save you a lot of money, time, and space in the suitcase.
