A travel advisor is also known as a travel agent or travel consultant and works with clients individually to help them plan and book their vacations. He or she will plan all aspects of a trip including things like airfare rental cars hotels and even additional activities that the clients might want to do such as snorkeling in the Caribbean for example. The travel advisor will act as a liaison between the client and the various travel companies helping to book reservations resolve any issues and most importantly find the best price. This person will collect a fee for these trip planning services typically a percentage of the cost of the trip rather than a flat fee.
Once clients find a travel advisor they like they may choose to work with that person again and again for every trip they plan. This is why it is important for a travel agent to go above and beyond for each client and develop a solid professional relationship. Clients will often recommend that their friends visit the same travel advisor as well, particularly if the agent offers discounts for recommendations or referrals.There are many ways travel agents can develop good relationships with customers which is why it is very important that anyone who wants to follow this career path enjoy working with people.
