Many hotels, resorts, cruise lines, tour operators, and other travel suppliers pay travel advisors a commission after your trip is completed. That commission is already built into the price of your vacation, whether you book directly with the supplier or work with a travel advisor.
-
No. In almost all cases, the price you pay is the same whether you book directly with the travel supplier or through a travel advisor. Travel suppliers typically include travel advisor commissions in their pricing, so using my services usually doesn't increase the cost of your vacation.
Plus, you'll have a dedicated travel professional to help you choose the right vacation, answer your questions, and assist you before, during, and after your trip.

You'll generally pay the same advertised price whether you book directly with a travel supplier or through me. In most cases, the supplier keeps the commission that would have been paid to a travel advisor, so you typically won't receive a discount by booking on your own.
When you book with me, you receive personalized service, expert guidance, and an advocate before, during, and after your trip—all while supporting a local small business.
