YTC Travel has been operating since 1995 - sending travelers on their 'dream vacations' for over 15 years.
Elizabeth Michalski C.T.C. My passion is travel and to inspire others to love it as much as I do. My areas of specialty are Eastern Europe, Ausralia & New Zealand. I am a travel specialist who not only has
educated knowledge of these destinations, but first hand travel experience
as well. I've been privileged to live and spend a considerable amount of time in Australia. As my parents are from Eastern Europe, I spent many summers traveling in this region - my favorite area in Europe.Eastern Europe is full of cultural relevance, charming villages and considerably more affordable then western Europe (though that may soon change in 2012 when many countries are planning to change to the Euro)
When planning your dream
vacation, I encourage you to research as much as you can about your
travel destination (the Internet is a terrific source!) so that you
will be well informed before your trip begins. When making your actual
vacation arrangements, however, a knowledgeable and skilled travel
agent is your best source for selecting the appropriate hotels, tours,
cruises and/or local tours to match your travel needs. . So why not leave the hassle and headache of making travel arrangements to a professional travel specialist.
Always remember that when you book with a travel agent, unlike internet
bookings, you will always have a live person behind your booking, to
answer questions and help you in case there are any unexpected
surprises before & during your vacation experience..
The slogan, "Without An
ASTA Travel Agent, You're On Your Own," is true today more than ever.
Agents act on their client's behalf, but if you've booked through the
Internet, who are you going to call when you discover your "room with a
view" has a view of the dumpster? There are a host of compelling
reasons to use a travel agent: Travel agents are out to find the consumer
the best rate available. Convenient one-stop shopping. Agents are there to
save you money as well as time. Customer advocacy:
If you have a problem with a particular part of your travel experience,
the agent is there to act on your behalf to see that restitution is made.
ASTA, for example, is the only travel association aggressively fighting to
improve the travel experience, and air transportation in particular, for
all consumers, not just those with access to the Internet.
Expert guidance:
Travel agents, unlike instructions on a Web page, are experts in
understanding and deciphering the myriad of travel information and codes
out there. It's what they've been trained to do and they do it every day.
Personalized service:
Instead of an impersonal voice thousand of miles away, travel agents are
you neighbors. They know what you want and what you value in your travel
experience.
Professional advice:
Travel agents are there to make sure you get where you want to go, when
you want to go and for the lowest price.
Time:
Instead of checking a long list of travel Web pages, which only provide
rates and fares for the companies that have contracted with them, why not
go straight to the source? A travel agent has all the information at their
fingertips, saving you a few hours in front of a computer screen.
Unbiased information:
Agents work for their clients, not for a travel supplier. It makes sense
that a happy customer will be a repeat customer.
