 The Advantage Of Having Your Own Personal TravelManager
A good travel agent is like having a personal trainer. Someone to manage your travel arrangements - take the guesswork out of trying to pull all the elements together that make up a complete travel itinerary.
So what can a TravelManager do that I can't do or organise myself?
Employing the services of a travel agent is much more than just getting someone to book it all for you. If that is all you needed, then we suggest using our online booking facilities. Great rates, easy to book - no real need for third party involvement.
We are local TravelManager representatives serving Moorebank, Chipping Norton, Wattle Grove, Holsworthy, Pleasure Point and Sandy Point in Sydney's Southwest (near Liverpool), as well as our national and international clientele through our dedicated 1300 enquiry line and website activities.
 No, a travel agent can give you so much more.
Let's go back to the "Personal Trainer" thought for a moment. If you want to get fit or get into shape, you can certainly do it yourself - but is your health being managed properly? If you have ever used a personal trainer, you know how much of an advantage it is to have that person managing your fitness plan. A properly managed program, designed with you in mind, which brings out your best and gets you to where you want to be. No wonder so many people employ the services of a Personal Trainer these days!
Employing a good manager for your travel needs works the same. The days of walking into a travel agent, grabbing a brochure and chatting to a travel "consultant" are out. Sort of implies a passive, casual relationship, with a bit of advice thrown in. Mass production, but not much commitment to you or your plans.
 Instead, we are TravelManagers - a personal and dedicated network of Professional Travel Specialists who have been selected from amongst the best in the industry to provide a person to person travel service when and where you need it.
Each TravelManager manages their own Clients, so our livelihood depends on the service and professionalism we provide you. Your TravelManager through The Travel Around Company Travel Services is Matt Halloran, who has over 20 years experience in Australia's Travel Industry.
So what do we do besides making travel bookings for you? Well, it is our job to make sure everything is in place and organised for you besides just flights, hotels and touring. What about your Visas? Do you have enough connecting time? Does the airline know you are travelling together? Where you prefer to sit on the plane? Meals? Special dietary requirements? Is the hotel aware of your room preferences? Sightseeing and day trips organised? Will there be a car waiting at the airport for you? Is your travel insurance adequate? Foreign currency? And what happens if your plans are changed - by you or by a tour operator?
When making your travel arrangements, you should always make sure you are dealing with a travel professional. This should make certain that you buy the travel arrangements that are right for you. The multitude of options available to you today make our professional advice and management of your plans even more essential to ensure you get the best value from your travel dollar.
So next time you need the services of a travel agent, just think - am I happy with talking to a travel consultant, or do I want a TravelManager to manage my travel plans? And then give us a call.
