Re: Six Questions Travel Agent Before Booking a Trip
Hello
Question #1: What are the best times of year to travel to my location?
Every location will be different when it comes to peak tourist season. For example, cruises to Alaska are more common during the summer months. On the other hand, Aspen vacations are more popular during the winter. Keep in mind that best for you might not mean that peak season. While tourists flock to these areas during certain times of the year for a reason, such as the great weather or a special event in the areas, thats also when travel will be most expensive. You can save some money by booking your trip during the off-season.
Question #2: Are there cheaper alternatives to the choices youre making for my trip?
Sometimes, the price of a vacation package can be drastically altered with just a few changes to the default choices. Usually, travel agents automatically book middle of the road accommodations, flights, and so forth. In other words, they dont choose luxury or economy they choose something in the middle. If you are purchasing a vacation package, ask about each part of the trip. Can you shave money off by flying at different hours of the day or choosing a room at a cheap hotel? Can you swap out the expensive show tickets and instead spend the day shopping? Little changes can combine to equal big savings, and when you look at an itemized list of what youre getting by default, you might want to upgrade some things as well.
Question #3: What travel documents do I need to carry with me?
If you leave the United States, you absolutely need passports, even if you are just traveling to Mexico or Canada. The other rules for travel documents, however, vary according to where you are traveling and the length of your stay. You might need certain vaccinations if you intend to visit certain parts of the world, for example. If you are traveling with pets, make sure that they have the proper documentation as well, especially for re-entering the United States.
