One of the first things you do when you are about to start planning your yearly holiday is to contact a travel agent, they know more than you do and can offer a complete package. However when thinking of contacting an agent do you contact a high street agent or do you contact a country specific agent based in the destination country?.Many people when they think of going on holiday do not even consider this as an option (destination agent).
Maybe they feel more comfortable meeting face to face with a travel agent? However in reality what does this agent really know about the country if they have not been there? All they are doing is selling a predesigned package that you may not want and you see as your only option. Well wait!!! There are many on-line country specific Travel Agents such as Costa Rica Holiday UK and Panama Holiday UK that provide advice and planning of custom trips to each of the countries and are country based.In our minds there is no comparison, use a country specific travel agent based in the country. Below are some reasons why you should use them:.1) They are based and live in the country so their overall knowledge will be better than yours.
2) They have visited the hotels and done the tours before so use their knowledge to better plan a custom made holiday for you.3) If you have a problem while in country then they are there to help you. I am sure that your UK travel agent will not help you, and if they can what can they do, they do not know people in the hotels.4) They offer exactly the same rates as the hotels, they save your time and money!!!.5) A Costa Rica Holiday will be designed specifically to your tastes.
Above are just some ideas to help you when planning a trip abroad. Use the advice and knowledge of these country based agencies as their knowledge is first had.
