The table below outlines the professional fees applicable to your bookings. All agency professional fees are non-refundable because they compensate for the time and expertise I provide before your travels.
Why Do I Charge Service Fees?
As your dedicated travel advisor, my goal is to provide a seamless, stress-free travel planning experience tailored to your unique needs. I charge service fees because the time, expertise, and personalized care I invest in crafting your perfect vacation are invaluable. Here’s what you get when you work with me:
Specialized Expertise: I’m not just a travel agent – I’m a travel advisor specializing in curating unforgettable travel experiences tailored to your preferences. I have the expertise and industry connections to craft a seamless, personalized itinerary just for you.
I have undergone extensive training, earned licenses and certifications, and continue my travel education to stay on top of the latest news and trends in the travel industry.
Peace of Mind: I use my firsthand travel experience and knowledge to assist you not only during the planning and booking stages of your trips but also every step along the way. I can provide travel insurance suggestions, travel visa requirements and assistance, vaccination recommendations, government advisory information, travel safety tips, packing tips, and destination-specific information as needed.
Customized Itineraries: I customize every trip I design for my clients. It is important to me to craft a vacation that meets or exceeds your preferences and expectations, ensuring every detail supports a smooth travel experience.
Time-Saving Convenience: From researching flights, accommodations, and activities or excursions to managing bookings and deadlines, I handle all the details so you don’t have to. I even troubleshoot during your trip to help resolve any unforeseen issues in a timely manner.
Stress-Free Planning: Planning a vacation can be overwhelming, especially for families with specific needs. My services alleviate that stress, offering peace of mind and allowing you to focus on what matters most—enjoying time with your family.
Why Choose Me Over a Fee-Free Agent?
Agents who don’t charge fees often rely solely on commissions, meaning they may prioritize bookings that earn them the highest payouts or rewards at the time, not necessarily what’s best for you. By charging service fees, I remain focused on your unique needs, not on what will earn me the most commission. You’re not just getting a travel agent—you’re gaining a trusted advisor who is invested in your happiness and well-being.
