What is a Travel Counsellor

Kirsty Heath on 18 June 2018
When I first started my own business as a Travel Counsellor, a few people asked me “what is it exactly that you do?” and “Why is a Travel Counsellor different to any other Travel Agent?” so I hope this tells you a little bit more about myself and Travel Counsellors.

* Why is Travel Counsellors 'Travel's best kept secret'? Travel Counsellors is one of the world's biggest home-working travel companies and it gives me the ability to run my own travel company. It means I have complete financial protection for my customers (the best I've ever seen) and I can provide a personal travel service from start to finish.

* What is a Travel Counsellor? In all honesty, there are many different names for what a Travel Counsellor is! In general terms though, I am a travel agent and I sell holidays. I am a different to the average agent though, my travel life started in car hire, and I have worked in every aspect of travel right down to cleaning hotel rooms so in relation to booking a holiday, it means I know how to use different companies and systems to get you the very best rates and deals. I can build complicated itineraries without the help of a third party which can add costs, so I can book my customers their perfect holiday. Being part of a Global company means we have exclusive rates on 1000’s of Hotels and Flights and I take all the stress away from you by searching for the best deals and places to go for you. I get to know you – your likes and dislikes therefore I can recommend the holiday that is best suited to you and then craft it all for you.

* Why is my service so personal? As your Travel Counsellor, I work locally, meet my customers, hand deliver tickets and speak to them when they come back from a holiday. You deal with me, and me only, from start to finish, no after-sales teams, no call centers, no sitting on hold, no repeating yourself plus I still have a full support of a head office team.

I am available 24/7 at a time that is convenient to you, I get to know my clients and understand their needs – you only have to look at my client testimonials on my web page to see how amazing my personal service is.

I truly believe I am more than a travel agent, my travel knowledge is undisputable. I have been all over the world travelling and I have seen 100’s of hotels! I can add extra value and special requests to your bookings, help if you need anything while away and make your holiday so much more special.

* What about prices, this must come at an extra cost? I believe that I know what makes an amazing holiday. I will go the extra mile to make sure everything is right for you. I will listen to you, have a good and thorough conversation about your needs and then together we can work out exactly what you require. I don't need to book something from a brochure chosen by someone else, I am not seduced by images – many times I will have been to where you want go, I have seen the hotel, seen the rooms, know the area, shops, bars and restaurants and probably know the hotel manager and if I haven’t then I have 1800 other Travel Counsellors who are located around the globe that I can speak to, plus I have access to 1000’s and 1000’s of trusted reviews from Travel Counsellor clients all around the world that I can check.

My specialty lies in tailor-making travel. If you want me to tailor make a tour of India or Australia, book your once in a lifetime safari or that magical Disney trip then please give me a call, you will not be disappointed. You will receive value for money when you book with me and with the global buying power of Travel Counsellors I get access to incredible rates. Travel is my passion along with providing the best customer service possible. It is so important to me that I find you your perfect holiday so that you book with me time and time again.
