I am delighted to be able to share with my existing clients and readers my extensive knowledge and experience once more.
My passion for travel started at an early age and I have been fortunate to travel to many amazing worldwide destinations – I travel as much as I can so I can provide my customers with first-hand knowledge.
I also have a wealth of feedback from my existing clients who are always keen to let me know what a fantastic holiday they have had, enabling me to put together a huge portfolio of hotels and destinations.
I pride myself on excellent customer service and enjoy getting to know my clients personally. I offer a FREE holiday finding service and guarantee the best possible prices – find a like-for-like holiday cheaper and I will match!
Designer Travel is independent and fully ABTA and ATOL bonded and protected and I can offer some amazing deals from package family holidays, city breaks, last minute escapes or the ultimate in Luxury Travel. We really do have something for everyone including all the high street products we know and love.
I would be delighted if you would write in seeking information, whether it be travel advice, destination information, visa requirements, looking for ideas/inspiration or absolutely anything else!
There are many good reasons but the bottom line is a good travel agent has extensive knowledge, is well connected worldwide, has access to benefits you can’t get elsewhere and can often beat any other prices available (even online) and they provide a safety net during your trip that you simply won’t get by booking yourself.
Having a top travel agent can also make you an instant VIP – free room upgrades, hard to get restaurant reservations, private guides, and cheaper premium airfares.
The best travel agents are essentially consultants and many prefer “travel advisor” because it is their advice, expertise, and connections that are of great value, not the ability to print airline tickets.
There are many that specialise in niche areas such as golf/biking holidays, cruises or space travel – however the key to success is to find an excellent generalist travel advisor and stick with them because they get to know your likes and dislikes, and make suggestions accordingly.
Everyone asks where is the best place to go, place to stay, things to do or places to eat. In almost every case, there is no “best” place – but there is the best for you. That is why a relationship with a travel advisor who asks a lot of questions is all-important.
So is their first-hand experience and because they have been checking these hotels in person, eating at these restaurants, and using these guides for years, they know the best ones for every need. All of these skills come together into a holiday you simply could not plan on your own or the internet.
When you use a website for travel everything comes from a database. When you use a travel agent it comes from the heart.
