Question 1

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF A TRAVEL AGENT?

Accepted Answer

First Hand Recommendations
When it comes to your final destination, we’ve most likely been there, done that. Not only can we plan your dream vacation, we can make recommendations while keeping the local culture, weather and more in mind. Be sure to ask us about our favorite restaurants, tour guides, shopping locations and more!
 
Time
Transportation, accommodations, detailed itineraries and more are all handled by an expert. Simply tell us your budget and destinations and we’ll do all the work for you.
 
Rates & Upgrades
Travelers don’t pay a fee to work with our agents and won’t pay higher rates when working with us. In fact, oftentimes it’s the opposite. Because of our relationships, we have access to rates and upgrades that the average client does not.
 
24/7 Access
We are available day or night, before, during and after your trip. In the event of an emergency, a delay or an unexpected disruption, our agents are there to reroute, rebook and get you where you need to be.

Question 2

WHY SHOULD I USE A TRAVEL AGENT TO BOOK A VACATION?

Accepted Answer

A travel agent takes all of the headache out of planning a trip and handles virtually all aspects of your travel, at absolutely no cost to you. You should be focused on the fun, let us handle the details!
​
Travel agents not only provide years of acquired knowledge but they ensure you get the best value and personal service you wont find anywhere on the internet. We help clients assess the best value for their dollar and assess where spending or saving is right for their needs. We also monitor promotions and special offers to find savings. Clients should always feel confident in the value of their vacation, whether it’s a luxury, moderate, or budget trip.
 
A travel agent makes sure that your trip is perfectly tailored to you, we can assist with any unexpected problems or special needs, and we can help with any mandatory travel requirements which are currently changing daily.

Question 3

WILL I PAY MORE IF I BOOK THROUGH A TRAVEL AGENT?

Accepted Answer

No, there is no fee for our vacation planning services as the travel vendors involved recognize our value and compensate us from the gross amount paid (what you would have paid even without our assistance). 
 
There is absolutely no additional cost for booking through Above The Palm Trees Travel we are here to save you money and get you the best value for your trip possible!

Question 4

DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE?

Accepted Answer

Travel insurance is HIGHLY recommended to protect your travel investment.
Due to Covid-19 an increasing number of countries are now requiring mandatory proof of medical insurance/travel insurance for travelers entering their country. Many trips, such as tours and cruises, involve non-refundable funds paid months in advance. Travel insurance protects you from losing this investment.
Most importantly, is the ‘during travel’ coverage and assistance that comes with travel insurances. Trip interruption due to illness or unforeseen circumstances can be very expensive, and medical care abroad is often not covered by domestic insurance plans.

Question 5

DO YOU BOOK GROUP TRAVEL?

Accepted Answer

YES! We specialize in coordinating large group travel for events like family reunions, multi-generational family trips, destination weddings, business conferences, and sports/dance team events. We have access to booking blocks and group discounts. Let us take the stress off of the “lead planner” by being the point person for all traveling parties. I coordinate travelers’ individual and group plans and keep communication flowing between parties! We help handle all the little details to ensure that you operate successfully and smoothly without having to worry!

Question 6

DO YOU HELP WITH SPECIAL NEEDS?

Accepted Answer

I firmly believe that travel should be accessible to everyone, so I strive to remove barriers and coordinate services for my clients. This may be accomplished by providing mobility devices and medical equipment, coordinating dining with food allergies, or making accommodations for sensory needs.
