Hi, everyone this is Dori with a personal note. I thank you for reading all the way through my professional introduction. Although I live just west of San Antonio, I represent Travelers throughout the US. I look forward to hearing from you.
I don't compete with the Online Travel Booking sites because they can't compete with me on service and added value. What looks like the best deal online generally does not account for promotions only available to Travel Agents, or the knowledge and support offered through a Travel Agents network of resources. There is a distinct difference to working with a Call Center with hundreds of people trying to meet sales quotas (I have worked for one!!) and a personal Travel Agent who follows your important vacation details all the way through to when you return home. I hope I don't hear from you while you are on your vacation but, if I do, you can be sure your problem is my top priority. A vacation is an investment in time and money. I am sure you want to use both wisely.

Why work with us?
Have you worked with a Travel Specialist before?
If not, here is why you should:
- Expertise: Experienced travel advisors know the market and can match you with a better product than you can find by searching the internet. With the online suppliers you are seeing what everyone else is seeing, which may not include promotions or products offered in the self-booking online sites. Travel Agencies are networked together by industry suppliers so sometimes can offer better value, based on the volume and relationships.
- Resources & Relationships: Certified travel advisors have a variety of tools and contacts that consumers can’t access or don't know about. Often, they can get their clients a better airplane seat, added amenities at hotels, room upgrades, event tickets and access to special activities. Need to know if vaccines or visas are needed for a destination? Ask a certified travel advisor and they will know. Think of it as having your own personal assistant!
- Convenience: A traveler’s time is valuable, so let a certified travel advisor work to research and plan a dream vacation. A certified advisor can help clients define what they want to get out of their travels and present options that fulfill or exceed their desires. They can book everything for their client, from hotel and air to spa appointments and dining.
- Save Money, Add Value: A certified travel advisor can often save their clients money even if they charge a fee due to their exclusive relationships and in-depth knowledge of suppliers, which also saves their clients time and effort. There also are a lot of value-adds that most consumers don't even know about that a certified advisor can bring to travel planning.
- Better Destinations: Certified travel advisors have inside information on the best times to visit different locations depending on the season, special events or even weather. They sometimes even know what the next "it" destinations are going to be before they become overcrowded. Get there first by using a certified agent.
- Exclusive Access: Some travel experiences—exotic tours, off-the-beaten-path treks and private jet products, among others—often are only available through a professional. If clients are looking to add some exclusivity to their travels, a certified travel advisor can open doors unavailable to consumers.
