Travel Agency Opens Its Doors – And Affordable World Travel – To Global Customers

DALLAS - Jan. 5, 2015 - PRLog -- Consumers have found themselves in an age of self-service. Everything from cars to clothes can be purchased online without ever leaving your desk. More and more workplaces are shifting to telecommuting formats, and affordable home technology has put a serious crunch on the “night out” venues in the likes of movie theaters, skating rinks, and bowling alleys.

Still, there's one thing that can't be done from your den or home theater: traveling. Vacations, by their nature, are about getting out, moving around, and seeing new sights. Of course, consumers can plan their vacation online. They can buy plane tickets, book tours, and even make dining reservations weeks in advance. Though in this hay day of DIY everything, one question remains: should consumers be planning their own vacations?

Sheena Scott thinks not, and her Dallas-based travel agency Vacation Compass is ready to show customers just how many benefits come with using an agent to plan their trips. “There are a few major advantage to booking with a travel agent,” said the entrepreneur behind the newly-founded company. “Agents have clout, experience and connections that mean better prices and more options for their clients.” Then, of course, there's the matter of time saved. The average person spends several hours planning each stage of their trip. That's time that an agent could have been doing the legwork for them. “And what happens when something goes wrong?” added Scott. “An agent is there to help. They can make new arrangements and suggest a course of action if things go awry.”

According to Scott, Vacation Compass was started around a vision that includes highly-personalized service, expert guidance, and customer advocacy. Naturally, she intends to offer her clients the best value for their travel dollar.
