Local Travel Agency Participates in Nationwide “Travel Agent Awareness” Campaign
DAYDREAM EXCURSIONS LLC Joins Day-Long Effort to Dispel Myths of Travel Agents
(TINTON FALLS, NJ, January 21, 2016) – DAYDREAM EXCURSIONS (www.daydreamex.com) announces their participation in the quarterly “Travel Agent Awareness” campaign, an effort by the travel agent industry to promote its value to the public. This is the second such online event organized by the travel agent community, and takes place on Monday, February 1. The theme of this event is “Ask an Agent,” and travelers are encouraged to tweet their questions using the hashtag #AskAnAgent.
DAYDREAM EXCURSIONS is a local travel agency with almost 10 years of experience specializing in custom travel planning. Dave Rosenthal, ARC VTC believes the campaign is an important step to demonstrate to travelers why travel agents are still relevant in today’s world of online booking services. Rosenthal believes, “there is tremendous value to consumers in having one single point of contact for almost all issues and questions that invariably come up after a client’s trip is booked. Having a single point of contact for clients is especially important for more complex trips which span multiple suppliers such as airlines, tour operators, travel insurance, rail companies, hotels/resorts, cruise lines, etc.” The Travel Agent Awareness campaign is the brainchild of Leila Coe, a travel agent based in Central Florida, who established the group as a way to open the lines of communication between the public and the travel industry. “There are a lot of misconceptions out there about travel agents; that we are a dying breed, that online booking engines are better or cheaper.” Coe goes on to explain, “The truth is that travel professionals know the ins and outs of the destinations and can help you out in difficult situations – the immediate response by travel agents in the wake of the tragic attacks in Paris highlights the ability of a travel professional to make travel safer and more convenient for clients.”
