Q6: What's something a travel advisor can do for travelers that they couldn't accomplish on their own? Or travelers: what has an agent done for you? #TWchats via @GTMElite


A6: Knowing the industry ins/outs being able to VIP someone through special relationships, waiving change fees, special waivers/favors - JB #TWchats

A6: Travel advisors save their clients time and money and have destination knowledge and insights you can’t get from an internet search. #TWchats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews @GTMElite A6: Anticipate what you might need to know or want before you think of it. #Twchats

A6: Well, travelers CAN wait on hold for hours to deal with things like airline schedule changes, major weather issues, or when Disney releases free dining ... But who WANTS to do that, if your travel advisor can handle it for you?

A6: @GTMElite Travel advisors have access to a variety of resources and connections that enable them to come to the rescue should their clients ever be in need of assistance. #TWchats


A6: Get you the BEST value for what you’re paying. A common misconception is that travel advisors are too expensive. The reality? VWT has close relationships to hoteliers, cruises, etc. & can find you better deals than online travel sites! That real connection matters. #TWchats


A6: @GTMElite A travel advisor is there to save the day in the midst of a problem. Canceled flight? Missed the ship? Hotel missing your reservation? Call your agent and let them make it right! #TWchats


A6: Between weather delays, natural disasters, flight cancellations, lost luggage and much more, a lot can happen on vacation. Travel advisors act as the traveler’s advocate in the event something goes wrong. #TWchats

@TWtravelnews @GTMElite A6 – TA’s enable travelers to feel respected and prioritized, while removing undue stress that comes from trip-planning and research. Thanks to years of relationship building, they can pull levers and open the doors that make a trip truly memorable.

A6: Travel advisors can create special one-of-a-kind experiences. Here is a photo of a private tequila tasting that travel agents coordinated with @distinctvillas. #TWChats


A6 Recommend, and know where to secure, travel insurance...seems so basic for us in the industry, but folks simply don't think they need it until it's explained to them #TWchats

A6 - Time is the most valuable resource and travel agents save their customers an average of 5 hours per booking! #Twchats


A6: "Protravel planned multiple trips for us with each one better than the one before. They listen to what we want and then anticipates the needs we didn’t realize were important. Extra personal touches were provided at every step."

A6: Travel advisors possess a wealth of knowledge when it comes to planning your dream itinerary! They know destinations inside and out and which activity, tour or excursion to recommend based on your preferences and interests: https://t.co/KsecpLcUFO #TWchats

A6: Besides saving your trip when something goes wrong, they usually know where you’re going better than you do, and can introduce you to places you’d miss. And they get upgrades for you if you are a good boy/girl…. #TWchats


A6 As a travel advisor, I love being able to put people into my groups to get them extra perks, especially for cruisers.I love being able to solve client issues. I have even driven luggage left at the airport in Atlanta to Disney for a client. She was thrilled.#twchats

A6: Simply put, travel advisors can go to bat for their clients in any situation. It’s great to have your own travel advocate. #TWchats via @GTMelite

A6: They can save pretty much anything… Maybe except for traveling with someone who's bat-shit crazy. Don’t get caught up in this! #TWchats https://t.co/TJwlzJOl11

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews @GTMElite A6: Agents are proactive – they will take the time to know what I want #Twchats 🤓 😀 🥰

A6: From complimentary hotel credits and room upgrades to exclusive access around the world (an after-hours tour of the Sistine Chapel, anyone?), advisors know how to make travelers feel like VIPs. #TWChats #virtuosotravel

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews @GTMElite A6: "24/7 Monitoring - If your flight is cancelled, we book you on a new flight before you can even call us.

@TWtravelnews @GTMElite A6: found promos that they didn't know existed, like one free night with Rocky Mountaineer or onboard cruise credit.
Sat on hold for two hours fixing flight problems so they can enjoy their honeymoon instead
Suggested re-arranging their itinerary to get better value. #TWChats

A6. A good travel advisor will take a sky-high overview of everything going on before and during your trip. For example: London Heathrow may be a big mess in a few weeks because of a mechanics strike this summer. #TWChats
