Fed up with planning and booking travel?

In a report released today from Forrester Reseach, an independent research company, frustration over using travel websites is growing. They say "Customers are forced to figure out extra fees, wade through fine print and understand industry terms... in addition to educating themselves about destinations, flights, and hotels." They continued by reporting that more and more folks are turning to traditional travel agents to meet their needs.

I agree. Many calls I receive are from people totally befuddled after searching the Internet for a cruise vacation. Often folks feel that the Internet will save them money however I often find deals and specials they haven't found after hours of searching. And sometimes do-it-yourselfers make mistakes that can cost them more to correct or even ruin their expensive vacation. A professional travel agent has the tools and knowledge to help you plan the best vacation at the best price.
