Can a Travel Agent Actually Save You Money?

Posted on Apr 30, 2012

Are travel agents back?

This question, posed by The New York Times. got us thinking. According to the piece, nearly one in three leisure travel agencies is hiring, and in 2011 travel agencies experienced a second consecutive year of growth; in fact, their bookings accounted for a third of the $284 billion U.S. travel market.

Silly us, we thought travel agents had become passé.

But if the travel agent business is thriving, we started wondering—is there something to this? Could using an old-school travel agent actually save us money on travel?

To find out, we consulted Barbara Vong, a travel agent with Wright Travel Agency. the 2011 winner of the Best of the Best Globe Award fro ... Read more »

Kuching Excursions

Kuching. the state capital of Sarawak, is arguably one of the most attractive cities in Southeast Asia. With its romantic history of White Rajahs, its rich architectural heritage, and the warm hospitality of its residents, it is quite easy to end up spending longer than intended in Kuching. The river, once an important transport link, is still a central feature of the city with the beautifully landscaped waterfront promenade providing a relaxing venue for strolling both day and night. The city centre is compact, with most of the main attractions located a short distance away from the Kuching Waterfront. The Sarawak Museum, Brooke era heritage buildings such as the Square Tower and the 19th Century shophouses at Main Bazaar are all within walking distance of the city centre hotels.

Property Spotlight: Riverwalk Properties

Audley CEO Ian Simkins tells me the British firm is planning to open the 7,000-square-foot office at 77 N. Washington St. during the first week of March. Audley has already hired 27 people for the office, he says, and expects to have as many as 40 there by the end of the year.

"The demand we can see already warrants an increase in more staff," Simkins says.

This will be Audley's first office in the United States, and it's aimed at serving the entire country, at least at the start. (Simkins says it's possible that demand could eventually lead to a second office on the West Coast.) Many of the agents are trained by going on trips for four to six weeks in the countries that they'll specialize in.

Audley's agents, or "country sales specialists," work with travelers on a one-on-one basis before, during and after their trips to help plan their itineraries and make the trips go smoothly. The costs of the ... Read more »

Travel Pillow Reviews:

We've all tried sleeping on an airplane or in a car only to have our neck suddenly fall forward and jar us awake. Some people can never even get comfortable enough to fall asleep in the first place. I have traveled back and forth from the west coast to Europe several times this year and I finally broke down and bought a travel pillow to try and help. I wanted something that would not only support my neck and head, but also allow me to get much needed rest on those 11 hour flights. The pillow they give you on board the planes are terrible and offer very little support. I used to try and get 2 pillows from the flight attendant and push them together but it never really improved things. Travel pillows are relatively cheap and definitely worth the investment if you travel a lot on airplanes. Many of ... Read more »

Even After Cancellation Fees, Travelers Say They Save by Buying a New Ticket at a Lower Price

Searching for a Labor Day weekend plane ticket home for my daughter, I saw an attractive $432 fare on American Airlines. I sent her the details and she responded within 90 minutes.

So, how far did Marlin travel in order to find Nemo -- like, shown on a map? They're very small fish, so what THEY consider an "entire ocean" could be different than what we'd call it.

Can you answer this question seriously? I've actually wondered about it all these years.

-If I was any one character. I'd say I was the whaaaaaaaaaaaale.

Dear the whaaaaaaaaaaaale,

I can most definitely answer this question seriously. As we all know, Nemo and Marlin and all their fishy friends lived in the Great Barrier Reef. which is off the northeast coast of Australia. The Great Barrier Reef is over 1,600 miles (or 2,600 kilometers) long, so already we have a problem because we do not know where exactly along the reef they lived. All we know is that they lived along the edge, because (1) Nemo swam out into the ocean against his father's will, and (2) scuba divers probably keep their boats along the edges.

So, we know they started somewhere along th ... Read more »

Skift.com is starting a new monthly feature on top trafficked sites in various sectors in travel, using data from SimilarWeb. "We have found SimilarWeb’s traffic stats to be the most reliable barometer of consumer web activity, easily besting other comparison sites like Quantcast, Compete, Alexa, and others," says Skift.

The series starts by first looking at global traffic to the top 25 online booking sites.

The usual suspects are there, of course, but the biggest thing you notice is Booking.com is the king of online travel, in all possible ways, and still has a large runway to grow in the United States.

8 Cool New Tools for Finding the Perfect Hotel

If you book hotels online, it's time to face facts: Your favorite travel website probably isn't cutting it. In the past decade, some of the best-known travel sites have lost their fastball. They're not as smart and nimble as the new kids on the Web that now have tools for smarter comparison shopping, searches for smaller B Bs and niche neighborhoods, and access to blocks of rooms reserved for its members.

Before you try these, one word of caution: No single site is the be-all-and-end-of-all of hotel booking. We recommend using at least two search tools, such as your current favorite online travel agency and one of the hotel shopping engines we've named here, to max out your chances of nabbing the perfect room or upgrade. Happy shopping!

Best Time to Visit China

Our guests visit Big Wild

Goose Pagoda in spring

China is a vast country with wide-ranging climatic conditions, so a decision about the best time to visit should be based on the regions you plan to visit and the kind of weather you enjoy.

Autumn

Normally, the most comfortable season of the year is early autumn (September to early October). During that period, temperatures are reasonable throughout China (about 50-72F) with a limited amount of rain. September for example is the only month in the year when the ancient and valuable paintings of the Beijing Palace Museum are displayed due to proper climate conditions (low humidity and proper temperature).

Best Simpsons for Travel?

Well after my Best Simpsons for Cream thread giving me such good advice and leading me to my new love, the Colonel, I have decided I need another Simpsons already. I can justify this as my 18th is Thursday so it makes sense a shaver gets a new brush right? The parameters for this one is that it must fit in the Simpsons Travel case, I want a versatile brush that I can take with me on the go. The Colonel is a little to larger for this. It must also be able to fit into my rotation so I can allow my other brushes drying time.

Has any one had poor treatment from Best at Travel recently. I booked my family of 6 to travel on the 4th April 2009 on an early flight to Dubai last May 2008.

Emirates confirmed my booking in the summer and gave me a flight reference.

Having asked repeatedly this week, where are my tickets, I was told the lady who deals with it is out at the moment we will ring back; but never did.

I was then informed after I insisted speaking to a senior manager from Best at Travel that Emirates had over booked the early flight and my family was now on a later flight.

When I subsequently phoned Emirates I find out my original booking was cancelled by Best at Travel and I had from March 11th two new bookings sending 3 of my family on the early flight and 3 on the later flight.

When I once again tackled Best at Travel I was told it was within their terms and conditions to make the ... Read more »

Pisgah Inn Wins Title of Best National Park Lodge

Many Glacier Hotel, Jackson Lake Lodge, El Tovar and Lake Crescent Lodge in top 5

There are fewer than 100 national park lodges in the USA, and after four weeks of reader voting, the winners of the Best National Park Lodge have been named.

It was a hard-fought and extremely close battle between the top two lodges for the title, but in the end, Pisgah Inn of the Blue Ridge Parkway took home top honors, thanks in part to its beautiful mountain views and excellent meals. The Blue Ridge Parkway is part of the National Park Service. Runner-up Many Glacier Hotel, located inside Glacier National Park. boasts some of the most spectacular views of any national park lodge.

Gallery: Malaysian Borneo. Can you top this for adventure?

Malaysian Borneo has long evoked visions of adventure in the West.

Many a kid has thumbed through their parents' National Geographic mags, dreaming that one day mom and dad might pass on yet another trip to Yosemite in the station wagon and instead take them to a land where headhunters lurk in ancient rainforests and wild orangutans play.

Today Malaysian Borneo (East Malaysia. aka Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan) isn't the unaccessible impossibility it once was -- it's now serviced by a range of airlines and filled with resorts to suit all budgets.

The challenge is pinning down an itinerary. The place is huge.

Malaysia shares the island of Borneo with Indonesia and Brunei. The Malaysian portion is home to two Malaysian states -- Sabah and Sarawak -- and the federal territory of Labuan.

And it's far from perfect.

Best Credit Cards for Travel of 2015

In general, getting a travel credit card can be a very lucrative endeavor, if your budget suits it. We examined the average 2-year rewards across a number of different credit card types, and found that these cards are second, only to hotel credit cards. While hotel cards tend to offer some of the best overall rewards, the redemption options for the points they give out tend to be far more limited. Travel credit cards are ones that allow consumers to move their points around between different loyalty programs, or use them as statement credit.

In our analysis, the sample budget included $2,400 in annual spending towards airlines and hotels (combined), and $12,000 in spending across other categories.

Best Countries for Solo Travelers

By Everett Potter September 5, 2014

There are many travelers who claim that traveling alone is the best way to see the world. You deliberately travel solo, they say, because you want to experience the world without the influence of a friend or partner’s tastes, prejudices, or preferences. When you’re with a companion, it’s easy to focus on that person and forget about meeting other travelers. Traveling alone, you’re more likely to be on a voyage of self-discovery.

Solo travel can be delightfully self-indulgent. You can spend a day doing nothing but café hopping or lingering in a single museum. You can loll on a beach on the South China Sea or hire a guide to visit remote ruins. Indulge your classical music passion in one of Europe’s great concert halls or join a group of like-minded strangers for a Himalayan trek.

It’s your call. Solo travel is the ideal opportunity to try something new, like a surf c ... Read more »

Best and less travel that you can get online

Published October 5, 2013 | By admin

Many people dream of touring the world. However, the travellers have different reasons and purposes for travelling. Some travel for pure leisure. Others travel for business.

No matter what the purpose is, the most important thing is to get the best and less travel deal available online. Here are some ways to find and avail of these deals.

The first way is to get travel and tour services from travel agencies.

The average earn rate on travel rewards cards has reached a cruising altitude of 1%, NerdWallet reports, but redeeming miles can be challenging. Unless you fly one airline a lot, go for one of the newer breed of cards that are airline agnostic. The generic travel rewards cards don t have blackout dates or restrictions, says Ben Woolsey of Creditcards.com.

Go abroad a lot? More cards have no foreign transaction fee (27% vs. 4% in 2010). Only your plastic may not always work: Many countries are moving to a chip-and-pin technology available on few U.S. cards.

Best And Less Travel

It's nice to ask yourself these questions before starting to plan your vacation; do I want to relax? Do I want adventure or a learning experience? Do I want to get away from my job? Once you know the answers to these questions, then you are ready to plan your trip.

Vacations are needed for our emotional, physical and mental balance. Vacations give a person a chance to relax, renew his energy, and free him from his daily routine. Vacations could be far away or close to home. Wherever the vacation may be, it does the same thing. It is the satisfaction that is more important than the destination.

Generally, there are some different types of travel according to activities involved. Here are some of them:

Becoming an Independent Travel Agent

By Bonnie Burgess. Tourism Expert

Becoming an independent travel agent can still be a very profitable business to consider. According to a study by ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents), and NACTA ((National Association of Career Travel Agents), 57 percent of independent travel agents saw an increase in sales in 2010, even with the downturned economy.

The study from ASTA and NACTA also concludes that:

Developing a niche specialty of travel, such as cruise sales, can be one of the most important factors in developing a travel business. A successful agent needs to develop knowledge and experience about some aspect of travel. The study also shows that most independent agents do not use a GDS, which is important to have in order to sell airline tickets. An inexperienced agent can sell a cruise with some basic training and cruise vacation experiences. But to sell airline tickets efficiently ... Read more »
