Why Travelust?

There are so many self help sites, why use a professional?

Why would you NOT use a professional, especially when the service itself is free? For those of you who are still on the fence, below are some of the most common reasons to use a travel agent.

We save the most valuable thing you have…TIME. Travel planning and research takes hours or even days. Travelust gives you the gift of your time by taking on that obstacle for you. Never underestimate the vast amount of options and logistics that goes into building the best possible itinerary. Even those pretty packaged “all inclusive deals” that run rapid on social media have hidden catches that can leave ones head spinning.

Travelust is strictly looking out for you and only you. We are able to have unbiased and professional opinions because we are not attached to anyone else. It makes no sense for us to chase a higher commission check if it results in an unhappy client. Travelust finds joy in making sure you have the best time possible in order to build a professional relationship in which results in future business and referrals.

We are highly regarded by many resorts and travel related companies. This means Travelust has direct access to the people that can make a difference for your trip. If there is a possibility for an upgrade or an extra perk that can be thrown in for a special occasion an agent can make it happen for you. We are constantly finding and building new relationships with various suppliers to enhance the overall experience.

Peace of mind- you know that you have a live person who has gone above and beyond to listen to what you have shared. Then uses expertise to piece together  a fully customized trip just for you. It is also nice to know if something were to go awry you have someone to call, and it’s not an automated machine or disgruntled customer service rep given a script with specific instructions on what is okay to assist with.

Support a small business. They are run by real people instead of share holders and algorithms. Small businesses are the fabric of this country and have the best interest of customers at heart. Generally many small businesses do not have money to throw at a problem and try their best to do right by the community and people in it. Small business owners have turned a true passion into a way of life and earn personal fulfillment by sharing it with others. Small business owners do not always measure success in dollars.

Travelust services are FREE! The best value and unmatched service can always be expected. Although there is not always a way to find a trip cheaper, we can almost always get the cost price matched or extremely close. Professionals are great at being able to get more. Keep in mind, even if the up front cost may be more in some cases, the total cost when you get home is usually hundreds less. A travel professional will be taking into account the cost of bags, transfers, meals, tips, etc. There is way more that goes into a trip than many think. A “cheap” initial price tag, can end up costing significantly more in the end. It is important to remember the big picture. 

Over all Travelust cuts the stress out of planning and coordinating your trip so you can simply enjoy yourself.

 

**please be aware that unless you book with an agent, he or she does not get a penny. Abuse of an agent's time can result in future planning/research fees being added**
