Top 10 Reasons Why We Engage Travel Planners Today

Today, a lot more people are engaging travel and trip planners to supply advice for travels. Why? I will share the very best 10 reasons in today's article. Before that, please allow me to share my personal story.

In 2005, when I decided to go New Zealand for my university education. Someone advised me to interact a New Zealand travel planner, which set me back over 100 bucks (can't remember exact figure) then.

My first thought was "Woah! That's expensive! Just for 1-2 hours of conversation!" I was a little daughter and naive 22-year-old then.

Since no-one I knew had stayed in New Zealand, and only a number of my buddies visited for holiday. Well, I did my personal research online, but wasn't too sure what I must be looking out for.

As you might have guessed, I covered the service. Felt the pinch. *ouch*

On the hindsight, I am really glad that I engaged the New Zealand travel planning services. After meeting some friends who engaged travel planners, those that had 'prior advice' adapted and settled more smoothly than people who didn't.

Recently, I went for a short business trip to China. Luckily, my friend had visited China once. It was a last-minute trip, and never well-planned, understandably. Thankfully, we met wonderful Chinese locals who helped us heaps along a secure trip.

Top 10 Reasons Why We Engage Travel / Trip Planners Today:

10. We only have 24 hours a day. By outsourcing, I have additional time to pay attention to issues that are important in my life. Same good reason that we take cab/taxi, to save lots of enough time spent travelling on buses and trains.

9. Online information is free. It is not necessary reliable, or perhaps, they merely omit the teeny-weeny important detail. Water is 'free' in the tap, so why do people still buy bottled water?

8. Researchers suggested there are estimated 30,000 messages directed at you daily. Assuming you are doing an hour or so of research, that's 1,250 messages. How do you know which can be right and which can be a twisted fact?

7. Maybe, eventually inside distant future, everyone could have visited every country. But before that, we need to share the ability collectively.

6. Safety is top priority. One incident is enough to make positive changes to life. Better be safe than sorry.

5. Heard this comment before: "Why go to a doctor when you are able research online? Same applies to travel." Simply put, for assurance.

4. Pleasant surprises are welcome! Like understading about a whole new culture, hearing different languages and accents, and sampling new cuisines. Culture shock, language barrier and unpalatable food are better avoided.

3. Common belief that travel planners plan your whole trip and you are required to follow it otherwise things go haywire. The truth is, they offer information which is customised for you, which friends/travel agencies/computer software/internet don't.

2. As Benjamin Graham said: "Price is what you spend. Value is what you receive." The world is exchanging values with money.

1. The unbiased opinion. Most travel agents and agencies make the deal only once you determine to travel to the destination. They will say everything wonderful about a country they have never been to, only to convince you.

I have friends who engaged travel planning services to countries like Japan and United States. Some even covered the self-help guide to choose them. Expensive? Of course. But the New Zealand trip experience for whole family is the value they covered.
