Summary
A David Letterman, tongue in cheek approach at why "use a travel agency". Hopefully you wail see both the humor and the "deeper meaning" As travel becomes more "unbundled" it becomes more complicated (read: fees for everything...including checking in, using the lavatory on airplanes, a "resort fee" for a resort hotel etc.) It is only going to get worse...so let someone else sort through it for me (and you)!
Analysis
10. You want "a single throat to choke" when something goes wrong.
9. Because you do not have the time or resources to keep up with this every changing travel environment.
8. Unless this is your one of your core competencies...forgettaboutit!
7. Much better chance of getting the best value through a reputable agency that you trust.
6. Why would you ever go to a doctor when you can research it online???? Same applies to travel.
5. Who gonna call...(when there is a problem)...ghostbusters??? not!
4. You cannot book complicated itineraries online or with one supplier and feel assured that you got the best price/value.
4. For the most part they are an unbiased resource with far more tools at their disposal than you.
3. Because everyone feels about travel the way they feel when they buy a car...everyone else got a better deal than me!
2. It is always easier to second guess someone else.
1. Because I have people that can do that for me....having people is good! Besides there are many other things I want to do!
