The true value of using a Travel Consultant

It’s hard to imagine life before the internet. All the information you could ever need on any subject is just a few clicks away and, armed with all that information, it’s theoretically possible for us to become experts on just about anything.

It’s no surprise, then, that we’ve seen a sharp rise in DIY holiday planning, which is often seen as a way to cut costs.

Why, then, according to ABTA, do 45% of holidaymakers still prefer to use a travel company or agent? Even people in the tech-savvy 18-24 year old age bracket prefer to avoid DIY holidays, with 62% feeling more confident when booking through a travel professional.

The fact is that there’s still no denying the expertise, experience and level of access that travel consultants can offer – that even the best comparison websites can’t.

Real world expertise

A travel consultant is fully embedded in the world of holidays - planning and booking trips to dream destinations is something they love to do and it's something that they have done countless times  - their experience is really second-to-none. It is so important to book your holiday with an ATOL protected company like Not Just Travel as this will provide you with protection if anything goes wrong. A travel consultant will also provide you with a personalised service where your every requirement is catered for. 

A dedicated travel consultant can tell you:

  • Where the best travel deals can be found
  • What different destinations are like at different times of year
  • Unmissable sights and special events
  • What other people really thought of their most recent holiday


It’s all information that can be used to guarantee an unforgettable experience at the right price – one that’s tailored to your tastes, expectations and requirements.

Ease and reassurance

From the most elaborate trips to those that are seemingly straightforward, a travel consultant can ensure you have a simple and successful holiday experience at each and every stage.

When holidaymakers trust a travel consultant to plan their holiday, it’s because they can be certain that every stop, visit and journey has been planned with military precision. Every potential complication has been considered, everything is taken care of and, if anything changes, your agent is just a phone call away.

A premium service – without the premium

Planning and booking your own holiday may seem like a more affordable option, but it’s often a false economy. For only slightly more, an experienced travel consultant can help you avoid the hidden costs of a holiday you may not have considered - from overpriced currency exchange to costly connections.

At the same time, travel consultants often have access to deals that simply aren’t available as an individual. At Not Just Travel, we have a buying power of more than £1 million every day, giving us a unique advantage when it comes to finding a holiday you’ll remember at a price you’ll love.

And finally, it’s a question of value. The right travel consultant won’t just give you the same old trip you could’ve picked up through a comparison website. It’s a tailor-made, one-of-a-kind holiday where everything is decided with your needs in mind – where every detail is considered and nothing is left to chance.

Get in touch to try the travel consultant experience for yourself, and see how we could create your perfect holiday.
