Five Things a Travel Advisor CAN do that Google CAN’T
UNLOCK EXCLUSIVE INDUSTRY-ONLY RATES & PERKS
Travel advisors have access to wholesale pricing, advisor portals, and vendor only promotions not visible online. This includes upgrades, onboard credits, free amenities, and group discounts that Google or DIY booking cannot provide.
PERSONALIZED EXPERT GUIDANCE (BACKED BY TRAINING & EXPERIENCE)
Unlike Google, a travel advisor uses certifications, supplier relationships and firsthand experience to create customized itineraries. They know insider tips, the best times to travel, hidden fees to avoid, and how to stretch your budget further.
DIRECT VENDOR CONNECTIONS & VIP TREATMENT
Advisors have direct lines to cruise lines, resorts, and airlines, allowing them to request favors (like upgrades, special requests, or early check-ins) that a regular person cannot easily secure. Vendors treat advisor clients like VIPs because of industry relationships.
PROBLEM-SOLVING & REAL-TIME SUPPORT
If flights are canceled, rooms are overbooked, or travel plans change, a travel advisor can fix issues quickly with insider access, no waiting hours on hold. Google will not advocate for you, but your advisor WILL!
CUSTOM PAYMENT PLANS & BOOKING MANAGEMENT
Travel advisors can set up flexible payment plans, manage deposits, deadlines, travel documents, and insurance coverage – all in one place. Booking through Google does not offer hands-on management or reminders.
