Using A Travel Agency or Not? Here’s What You Need to Know

Depending on the purpose and the timing of your trip, using a travel agency might just be the right option, and in some instances, DIYing wouldn’t hurt either! So, what’s the best to go for? Let’s dig right in.

1. The Dynamics of the Trip:

There are many ways a travel agency can come in handy for booking your flights and planning your trips. A good way to judge what works for you is to understand the dynamics of your trip. While there may be different dynamics around different trips you may be embarking on, it might not hurt to book a one-way inter-state flight by yourself.

However, if the complexities of the trip are such that you are visiting a location you’re largely unfamiliar with, or that you’re travelling with kids and pets on a long distance trip; you definitely don’t want to do it yourself. You’ll largely want to save yourself the hassle of struggling to understand different international flight policies and dynamics, and it’s best to use the services of an agency in such scenarios.

2. Expertise:

There’s no way the results of planning your trips on your own would be as impeccable as when an expert does it for you. If you’re okay with just getting by on your trip, then doing your thing is fine.

But if you want the best value for your time, money, and on your trip, for example, a vacation; you definitely don’t want the details muddled up! You’d also need a travel agency to make sure they’re on their A-game, especially if the trip is really important to you.

With a travel agency, you can rest assured that everything is under the control of expert hands, while you focus on your preparation for your trip. Choosing to do it yourself will leave you fixating on a lot of details and you definitely don’t want that when you have other things to attend to.

3. Time Value:

Visiting a new city, country, or any destination location will need all the attention to details, especially when you have to be sure that you’re putting all the necessary requirements to visit such places into considerations. Now, this means to check all the right boxes, you need to pay attention to all the relevant details and pore on pages upon pages of website information to be sure you’re doing it right.

However, with a travel agency you don’t need to spend time doing all of that because we bring our industry knowledge onboard. Now, if you look at how much time it would take you to do these, it means you might be losing value on your time. Outsourcing this responsibility to a travel agency will ultimately be a cheaper option, as you can put that time you would have spent doing all the research to a more rewarding task.

4. Less Experiment, More Fun:

If you’re leaving home to a location you’ve never been, it’s best to focus your energy on having fun than on experimenting your trip planning prowess. You also don’t want to start experimenting your wanderlust skills, in a city you’re not familiar with.

When you use a travel agency, we offer comprehensive packages and a full suite of fun experience alongside the service of a tour guide. This means you won’t have to worry about getting lost in an unfamiliar location or missing out on the core fun things you could have enjoyed on your trip.

5. Cost Effectiveness:

We get it, you’re probably considering DIYing because you feel it’s more cost effective. While you may not be wrong about this in some contexts, it’s best to put all the details into perspective to determine what ‘cost’ you’re really saving on. For instance, taking our discounted trip packages may be more cost effective when travelling in peak seasons than doing it by yourself.

Also, the anxiety of making sure that you check all the boxes regarding planning your trip may add to your mental workload. This ultimately isn’t cost effective in the long run, as you have to share your productive time between planning your trip and other important activities.
