Travel Agent, Trip Advisor, etc.
What's In A Name?
Travel professionals go by many names. Travel agent, trip advisor, travel consultant, cruise planner, cruise agent, trip planner and travel planner are a few such designations.
Of course, including the word professional (such as professional trip planner) adds to an already long list.
A key question is whether these descriptions are important to the public. A secondary question is whether the travel professional thinks they are important.
How about you, do you care about the title of the professional you use?
|
Regardless of how you answer, (yes, no, it depends, or it doesn't matter), the bottom line is whether the services offered will fulfill your needs. |
Are you a "happy camper" at the end of the day?
Are you encountering many hassles in planning your trip or vacation?
Did you use a trip advisor?
Did you use a trip consultant?
Or...
Did you use a cruise agent?
Is There A Difference Between
A Travel Agent and A Cruise Agent?
Clearly, some titles suggest more of a specialized service.
Undoubtedly, travel professionals use labels to show their area of specialization. However, no one would suggest that only a cruise agent can provide the required services of booking a cruise in a superlative way.
A travel professional referred to as a trip advisor (or any other title) may have the capability of doing a superb job, even though that job deals with cruising.
What about the reverse? Can a travel agent perform the functions of a cruise agent, and do so equally well? That depends of course on the background and experience of the agent.
Many travel professionals use multiple designations.
You may contact a trip advisor, but get a great, great "cruise" agent, or vice versa.
Conclusion: Don't worry about the title.
But, this leads us to another very important question.
