Family holidays are special. They are about creating memories, spending time together, and making memories that will last forever. Family holidays can be wonderful, but they can also be pretty overwhelming.
It’s a full time job: finding the right destination, booking flights, accommodation, and making sure the whole family is catered for. When and if this happened to you or your family and friends, that’s where a travel agent comes in. On behalf of Inspire Luxe Travel we believe that planning a holiday should be relaxing and fun from the outset. That can be done by working with a travel agent.
Here are five key reasons why it’s a good idea to book your family holiday with a travel agent:
1. Expert Guidance and Personalised Recommendations
There’s no such thing as one family holiday size fits all. Each family is unique, so are their travel needs. Travel agent can give you expert advice that is exactly what your family is looking for or need.
As travel agents – like myself, we spend our days researching destinations, exploring the latest family friendly resorts, and ensuring we’re up to date on the best places to visit. In other words, we understand which of our destinations will work best for families with young children, teens, or a multi generational group. Say you wanted to have quiet beach retreat, where you kids can play, we’ll suggest destinations and resorts for you. But if adventure is more your family’s vibe, we’ll point out spots that offer exciting activities for all ages of kids.
If you work with a travel agent, you won’t have to spend hours on the internet worrying if you booked in the right place. By speaking to us you’ll gain access to personalised recommendations that will save you time and guarantee a holiday that your family deserves.
2. Stress-Free Planning and Booking
Let’s face it when planning a family holiday, it’s stressful. You need to book flights, accommodation, transfers and activities. It’s easy when you work alongside a travel agent as that stress is off your shoulders.
From start to finish we handle everything on your trip at Inspire Luxe Travel. It means no more having to compare hundreds of websites, double checking those dates, or trying to remember if I’m missing something. Plus we manage all the detail from the little things you probably didn’t even think to include – making sure your accommodation has the right facilities for young children or even booking your seats together on flights.
When it comes to the booking process (flight changes, hotel availability, both), if there are any problems on your end, we deal with them. You can rest easy knowing that everything is in the hands of professionals who have your family’s best interests at heart.
3. Exclusive Deals and Discounts
One of the biggest myths about travel agents is that booking through them will cost me more than if I booked directly. Here’s the unvarnished truth: Using a travel agent can save you money, and often in ways you might never have anticipated.
Travel agents have a lot of access to exclusive deals, offers and discounts that normal person’s don’t get. Here at Inspire Luxe Travel we have built up links with the best suppliers and tour operators around to get you the best prices we can. From discounted rates at a family friendly hotels to cheap flights, or freebies such as free meals for your children and free airport transfers, we make sure you get the best bang for your money.
Also, travel agents give you advice on the right time to book to get the best deals. We know what is happening in pricing and can assist you to bypass the top times where prices are going up through the roof. And we’d also be able to suggest another destination or accommodation choice which can be very valuable without skimping on quality.
4. Safety and Security for Your Family
Safety matters the most when you are travelling with the family. One advantage of booking through a travel agent is an extra layer of security youmay not get when booking independently.
At Inspire Luxe Travel, we book every part of your trip through trusted suppliers who set their own rigorous safety standards. We know how important it is to select places which are safe for a family: where they feel secure, whether that’s with the location, health measures or other services.
And, if anything does go wrong while you’re away—flights cancelled, change in travel restrictions, health problems—we’re here. We are your point of contact, your shoulder to cry on and who will sort the problem so that you can get on with your holiday.
One of the benefits of having a travel agent on your season is that when anything unexpected happens and changes, when any emergency arises, you will always have someone to rely on you to help you. That’s peace of mind for you, and your family; knowing that help is but a phone call away.
5. Tailored Itineraries to Suit Your Family’s Needs
The most significant benefit of working with a travel agent is that we develop itineraries to your family’s liking. Whatever you’d like to do with your holiday, we’ll design an itinerary that fits all.
As an example, suppose that you are travelling with young children; in that case, we’ll suggest age appropriate and fun activities for the family together. And we’ll make sure the travel times between destinations are achievable for little ones. If you’re travelling with teenagers we can suggest things to do that will keep them engaged, such as water sports, hiking or going out.
That’s also why we realise that family holidays are about more than keeping the kids entertained. The parents also deserve some time to take it easy and have fun. We’ll also include some essential downtime for you, regardless of whether it’s in a spa, by a pool, or two of you enjoying a romantic meal while our kids are babysat.
Because we take a personalised approach, every holiday is planned around what your family will like to do, so everyone will enjoy the trip. Worry no more of being bored with the kids or having the time to relax, it’s all part of the plan.
