What does a Goulds Travel Agent do for me?At Goulds Travel, our associates are more than just Travel Agents, they are Travel Advocates. Travel Advisors belong to a large network of industry professionals. They are able to accomplish more because of the relationships they’ve built with vendors and suppliers. Since they work for you rather than the hotels or cruise lines, they will go the extra steps to ensure their clients are taken care of. In the event a client experiences trouble while traveling, an advisor can also work on their clients’ behalf to mitigate or resolve any issues that may arise.

Why are Travel Agents "experts"?"Travel Agents are experts because they know how to sort through the abundance of travel information available to the public. Most people think they can just book a hotel online, show up, and have their room ready and available. Travel Advisors have personal destination experiences, maintain direct access to hoteliers and their representatives, and spend hours researching different itineraries to better inform their clients. Just as your would trust a CPA to do your taxes or a mechanic to work on your car, you should trust a Travel Advisor to take care of your vacation.

Do Travel Agents charge fees to book a vacation?Many people ask if Travel Agents charge a fee for their services. Before answering this question, think about what you are asking. When you work with a professional to file your taxes, or when you contact an attorney to litigate a case for you, or maybe when you contact an electrician to fix a fuse at your house -- do you wonder if they're going to charge a fee for their services? The truth is, a Travel Agent may be able to match or beat the price of your vacation, and might even offer additional amenities for your trip, at no additional charge! It is a common misconception that Travel Professionals charge a fee for their service. While some agencies charge certain fees (planning fees, booking fees, cancellation fees, group management fees, etc.), there are a large number of agents that work strictly off commission from their suppliers - almost like a referral fee. So before you wonder or inquire about their fees, ask about the services they are going to provide as YOUR agent. Keep the experience in mind. Sometimes getting the "cheapest price" is not always the best idea - especially when dealing with a vacation you've saved time and money for!
