On The Road Travel

Value is a common term used in the tourism industry today, but what is the definition of Value? Value: A monetary worth of something; market price. A fair return or equivalent in goods, services, or money for something exchanged. What does value mean in the travel industry? As a travel agent, I value my customers. I value their experience and them sharing the experience with their friends and family. I value finding a great trip that my client will Value. When I travel, I value the memories. If you asked me today, I couldn’t tell you how much it cost for an excursion three years ago to swim with stingrays in the Grand Cayman. But I can remember the smiles on our faces and the life-long memory, which has great value to me. My job is to find value for your budget on your next vacation. Sometimes that value lies in the perks that only a travel agent can provide, sometimes it is the time you save searching the internet. As a travel agent, we take care of that for you, and our se...

I get asked so many times, “Why do we keep going to Disney? All those people! Isn’t it for little kids? Don’t you want to relax?” Well before my family’s first trip to Disney, I asked some of those same questions. I had wonderful memories of Disneyland as a child, and my wife felt we needed to take our boys, ages 5 and 7. So we started working with our On The Road Travel Agent, Chris, and bombarded her with questions. First, she helped us pick a less crowded time of the year with a great promotion, Free Dining, which was my big selling point. She helped us pick a resort, Fast Passes, Magical Express transportation, and, my favorite part, the Dining Reservations. These things can be incredibly overwhelming without a good travel agent. Even though we had everything planned, I was still preparing for the worst as we landed at the Orlando airport. But as soon as we got on the Magical Express transportation, I could feel the excitement - and no stress! A comfortable coach ride, and...
