MaCedon Travel

Here at Macedon Travel, we believe there are many reasons why it’s better and easier to book your travel with us, compared with booking directly over the Internet. The benefits really come into focus when things almost definitely go wrong, or when plans change, which seems to happen more and more frequently these days.

Today, consumers have the ability to book online for airline tickets, hotels, rental cars, cruises and all-inclusive holiday packages. But travel agents still exist, having evolved from travel bookers to travel consultants.

In addition to booking your tickets for all aspects of your trip; including hotel, meals and excursions; a Macedon Travel agent will find the best deals and serve as your advocate if anything goes wrong. Online booking companies will show you the prices of tickets at the moment, but prices do change daily.

There is no doubt internet bookings have grown exponentially over recent years, as evidenced by the massive growth of companies such as Webjet and Wotif.

Yet there are more than 3000 licensed travel agencies operating in Australia and while many of them are doing some online sales, traditional sales remain the mainstay for most.

The internet is great for many things, including point-to-point flights and basic accommodation bookings, but there are still plenty of products that are difficult or impossible to book online.

The idea that any online company offers the lowest prices across the board is a myth. Websites cannot guarantee the best deal because the price of hotel rooms, airfare and other tickets fluctuates. Airline ticket prices change depending on the day of the week or time of the day, and hotels change their rates due to the day of the week, proximity of the booking to the day of the use, and whether the hotel is part of a block discount.

How valuable would it be if an expert could tell you to stay at hotel “A” but avoid hotel “B”, or choose the great ancient city excursion but skip the lame walking tour? A Macedon Travel agent can counsel you on what to do and which services to choose, based on personal experience and that of other customer feedback.

Besides counsel on bookings, a Macedon Travel agent can advise you on such issues as exchange rates, travel insurance, crowds, weather, competency of tours, areas of a town to avoid, travel visas, vaccinations, passports, tipping etiquette, packing lists and trip cancellation penalties and restrictions.

Contrary to popular belief, travel agents don’t cost more. In fact, it’s possible you will pay less than booking a holiday yourself. Macedon Travel agents are aware of all promotional offers and occasionally have access to many exclusive deals not available to the public.

In conclusion, using Macedon Travel as your preferred travel agent will save you a lot of time and provides access to great deals and knowledgeable advice that will make your trip more enjoyable. In that case, you end up getting better value for your money.
