Bouse Travel Advisors

Let us help plan your next great adventure!

Usually no. Most travel agents are paid by the travel suppliers (like cruise lines or hotels), not by you. Some may charge a planning fee for complex trips, but they’ll always let you know up front.

  • Expert advice from someone who knows the industry
  • Time savings—no more endless searching and comparing
  • Exclusive deals and perks you won’t find online
  • Personalized recommendations based on your needs
  • Support before, during, and after your trip

Absolutely. A travel agent works with you—not instead of you. You can share your research and preferences, and your agent will help fine-tune the details and handle the booking.

  • Cruises
  • Group travel
  • Honeymoons or destination weddings
  • International trips
  • Multi-stop or custom itineraries
  • Luxury or all-inclusive vacations

For simple flights or hotels, you can book yourself—but even then, an agent may still get you a better rate or bonus.

If you booked through an agent, you’re not alone. Your agent can help fix issues, rebook canceled flights, deal with travel suppliers, and advocate for refunds or changes.

Look for someone who:

  • Specializes in the type of travel you want
  • Has good reviews or referrals
  • Communicates clearly and listens to your needs
  • Is transparent about any fees or policies

You still can! A good travel agent won’t take over—they’ll enhance what you’re already doing, often with better results and less stress.
