Sorry, you don't have time. So, you have no option but to trust Someone. You trust your travel agent, with below facts to avoid being taken for a ride
Usually, a Combination of, Flights, Resorts, and taxi for local sight seen at an economical price is taken as a good Package. By this logic all cakes are good cake as all are is made with a paste of milk, and flour cooked in Oven. A good cook does a lot more things like timing of mixing milk with flour, the heat of an oven, the strength of paste…….etc. The right mixture of all physical ingredients and human judgment is key to any Cooking, be it cake or Holiday package. Holiday Package is similar. Right Mixing is the key.
For example, A 3 Night Shimla package of Rs 10000/- is Costlier than 3 Night Shimla Package of Rs 11340/-. How it is so? You are asking me to pay an extra Rs 1340/- and saying it is Cheaper. Please explain to me.
Yes, my dear friend, paying extra is economical ……. As at the end of the day you will realize that your expenses were more than your expectations. because You booked a cheaper package. You are again in stress. An antidote to stress has become the cause of stress. Proof of Pudding is in eating., before eating all cakes are the same and Good.
The holiday is the same.
Why your cost went Up? You are wondering, how come my cost went up when every calculation was correct. I was a chief financial Advisor of the company and I handle, bigger accounts than this, then where I made a mistake. My Friend every trade has some tricks to hide the real facts, and you are good at your game but you were playing a game, where your travel agent is champion. Trust your Agent after checking his Google reviews, You should ignore 5 to 6 initial reviews of the Travel agencies, these reviews may be fake or fabricated. Check the Period over which these are posted and try to get a pattern in it,
Next time You Visit keep followings in mind
Understand the Difference between itinerary and inclusions: Often traveler ignores the inclusions and focuses on itinerary only. Itinerary tell you to do what you can, Inclusion tells you what is included in this package price whereas itinerary tells you "what You Can Do “list. Most of the time Traveler thinks all that is mentioned in the itinerary is included in the package.
Taxes Included:
Clarify whether taxes included in the quoted price meaning all sorts of, Toll, Levy, Duty, GST, Local Tourism Tax, Green tax.
Location of Hotels is of the highest importance:
Usually, Travel agents are under pressure to give a very good economical price. You get a good hotel away from the main tourist location, you will end up paying Rs 500 on taxi fare by saving Rs 100/- on Hotel Price. Travel agents provide your car on "as per itinerary basis", you end up paying more for ala carte Dinner and cab charges, if you have booked on breakfast only Basis. A travel agent doesn't include negotiated price dinner, as it will inflate the visible total cost.
It means what looks cheap May Not be Cheap, i.e. all that glitters is not gold.
Selection of Train and Flight Timing.
Early Morning flights are preferred and are a bit costly, but extra charge gives you extra time. Remember anything extra does not come free. Be ready to pay extra for extra time, comfort. Your Agent will try to push inappropriate flight, for the sake of cheaper Package. Do You want CHEAP or GOOD Package??? Do you ask a doctor" Please Give me Cheap Medicine, but the responsibility of my wellness is your”? You cannot decide on Prescribed medicine, and ask the doctor to take responsibility. You share the same relation of TRUST with your Agent.
Luggage Inclusion in Flights.
The international budget carrier may exclude your luggage, and charge you a hefty amount at the airport. Your agent will give a quoted price without any luggage flight to show a better price. Most of the clients look for Price Tag Only in the quote. His mind is Numb to inclusions and exclusions. Be alert There is more to written price on Package. Your quest and Request to beat another agent's price make an agent to play these games with you. Your quest to get a cheap holiday deal,. instead of a good planned deal, makes an agent to do a cheap holiday.
