The Holiday Butlers’ top 10 reasons why you should book with a local travel agency.

The Holiday Butler believes that engaging with a knowledgeable, local travel agent is the best way to plan a holiday. Travel agents will do whatever it takes to make your holiday a reality, no matter what you wish to book. The Holiday Butler believes that you should always book with your local travel agent for the following ten reasons.  

Passion for travel:

We want to be clear that travel agents do not work in the industry for financial gain. Many other sectors pay significantly more. Instead, a desire to travel drives travel agents. You can tell your local travel agency genuinely enjoys what they do when you interact with them and hear their excitement for the places they suggest.

First-hand experience:

Prior to Covid-19, the majority of travel agents would have travelled 5-8 times annually, gaining firsthand knowledge of the places they promote as well as the amenities and standards of the hotels and attractions they recommend. In order to stay up-to-date on new product developments, such as upgraded hotel amenities that can be relevant to your travel needs, travel agents will also often attend training sessions.

Security and safety:

Travel agents will evaluate your request and address any security or safety concerns with your destination or hotel, as they have access to various notification systems to ensure that the holiday booked meets all safety requirements.

Business to business (B2B) relationships:

In many businesses, but maybe more so in the tourism sector, relationships with business partners are crucial. Travel agents will have many connections with partners based in the UK and overseas who can assist with any particular requirement, such as reserving the same accommodation you reserved for your honeymoon ten years ago or planning a surprise romantic dinner on the beach. The needs of their clients are almost always addressed because travel agents know how to get what they want.

Financial security:

You need to be confident that your holiday is financially secure. Make sure a package holiday is ATOL covered before purchasing it. The Holiday Butler is a retail agency of Major Travel PLC, a travel company with over 47 years of expertise, that is ATOL 2933 and ABTA P7169 protected. so you may book with us with confidence.

Access to exclusive offers to save money:

Travel agents will have access to exclusive offers, including significant discounts with numerous airlines and hotels, as well as add-value offers like room upgrades, couples massages, and much more that may not be accessible if booked online. These little extras really do make a difference.

Secure your holiday with a low deposit:

The majority of travel agents will be able to offer low deposit to ensure that you can book your trip at the current rates. As an example, The Holiday Butler offers a low deposit of £99 per person (subject to travel dates), making it possible for you to reserve your ideal holiday without stressing out about your finances. In addition, we can help you set up a payment plan to stretch out the expense.

Time-saving:

Booking a holiday can be difficult and time-consuming because there are so many websites to browse. This is why it’s a good idea to always speak with a local travel agent, since they deal with this on a daily basis and have the most expertise to help you with your needs while securing the lowest rates.

Complex holiday ideas are simplified and booked for you:

The majority of a travel agent’s career is spent organising challenging holiday itineraries for clients. Whether you want a simple USA multi-centre holiday or want to scale the heights of Machu Picchu in Peru and then spend time in the breathtaking Galapagos Islands, they will take care of all the finer aspects for you. You only need to show up.

It’s free:

Most travel companies, like The Holiday Butler, will offer all of the above free of charge. That’s right. To ensure your financial security, we will put all the details of your trip together and bundle them into a shiny ATOL-protected package holiday.
