FAIRFIELD, CT -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/29/07 -- "Professional, well-connected and experienced
travel agents score high marks when it comes to making complex travel
arrangements for luxury vacation customers," says Nancy Yale, President, Cruise Resort & World Travel,
Inc.
When planning for overseas vacations or when managing the details of travel
where special requirements are necessary, Nancy Yale advises the traveler
to use agents versus booking their own travel online. Travel agents can
use their knowledge of the properties and their personal relationships with
hotels, resorts, tour companies and cruise lines in order to provide
amenities that you can't get online. Agents are indispensable for
travelers who are visiting a new and unfamiliar destination, and are
crucial to vacationers who, once they have arrived, are in a tight spot or
need additional reservations or assistance.
As an example, a computer-savvy executive (and a client of Cruise Resort &
World Travel, Inc.) went online and booked a much needed luxury vacation to
Mazatlan, Mexico. Just as he was about to leave, he realized that he had
booked a Saturday departure but hadn't booked the hotel until Sunday. He
called one of our travel agents in a panic. We successfully found him an
ideal hotel for the night.
A couple booked their European travel and hotel online. When they arrived
at their destination, the hotel staff informed them that they had no
reservation and the hotel was full. Based upon positive past experiences
using Cruise Resort & World Travel, Inc., the couple called their agent and
begged for help. As it turned out, the agent knew the hotel manager for
many years and was able to get the couple into the hotel for their entire
stay.
Ms. Yale and her team of veteran agents have traveled around the globe and
have first hand experiences with hotels, tours and resorts. "Our
connections and our knowledge," says Nancy Yale, "is what brings the
finishing touches to every luxury vacation. This is why there is no
question about using an agent versus booking online!"
