IS A SPECIALIST TRAVEL AGENCY A LUXURY?

Nowadays, you have a world of information at your fingertips, you can research a certain destination and decide when and how to get there almost at the touch of a button, so why would you use a specialist travel agency when you could easily piece together a trip on your own? This is a common question we are asked by potential travellers and friends around the world.

Unmatched insight
Though there is all this information on the web about traveling to any destination imaginable, that’s precisely the problem: There’s too much of it! It can be draining to go through various websites, platforms and apps with each one suggesting something different than the previous one. Information overload can easily put you off or derail you from booking your ideal holiday.

Exclusive insider access
Specialist travel agencies specialize in planning unique trips for their travellers, therefore, they have established and trusting relationships with the best travel brands in the business and most importantly collaborators on the ground. These tried and tested relationships mean that your specialist travel agent will be in a position to provide you with insider knowledge in a variety of destinations and experiences. You’ll always receive preferential treatment, exclusive access to places of interest and complimentary extras when you book through a specialist travel agency, like Joysters. Do you really believe you can secure similar perks by yourself? Good luck with it.

The human touch
When you decide to book with a specialist agency, you don’t just get an itinerary but a lifelong commitment. A specialist’s goal is to help you have the best experience possible, so you feel comfortable with them and come back again and again to cross off those bucket list destinations of yours. Moreover, you have an entire team behind you to help should something go wrong while you’re travelling, and of course, follow up with you after your trip too, in order to find out how everything went.
Human connection makes your trip memorable and adds value to it. And don’t forget, you can’t put a price tag on the memories an insightful travel curator can craft on your behalf.

Tailored like a good suit
A Specialist travel agency can provide you with an experience tailored to your particular needs and preferences. And the customization doesn’t stop there. Once you are on site, enjoying your trip with your local guide, flexibility remains of the utmost importance. Actively responding or adapting to the travellers’ requests and changing needs is part and parcel of a specialist’s job. A random comment or reaction during a coffee break can easily lead to unplanned additions to the itinerary, resulting in a truly personalised service and rare moments that will long be treasured and remembered in the years to come.
For a specialist like Joysters you are not just another client, you’re a guest and a future friend and you will be treated as such.

VIP me
Your specialist travel agent is your personal concierge. Your preferences and interests are unique, just like you and your experience should be the same. Every moment of your trip will be meticulously designed so that you can enjoy a level of service no other provider will be able to match, while you immerse yourself in the sounds, flavours, smells and feelings of the people you meet.

Safety & Peace-of-Mind
Last but certainly not least, there is nothing more valuable than the safety and peace-of-mind a specialist travel agent provides you with, both before and during your trip. Their expertise allows you to explore new places with confidence. No setback is surprising to them, because they have already prepared for the unexpected hiccups. Specialists expect the unexpected for you and are always a step ahead so that they can solve any problem that may arise. Even if your trip is uneventful, simply knowing that someone is taking care of you and is ready to step in at any moment is often enough reason to work with a specialist. The last thing you want on a holiday is for something to go wrong not knowing how to fix it, especially in a foreign country.
