Agents and travel information experts, eminently qualified to help pick the package that's best for you. Here's a premier to help you preapare for a productive meeting with your travel agent:
What's your budget? It needn't be hard and fast, but the options are too vast to approach without a figure or prie range in mind.
What kind of experience do you want? Domestic or foreign? A city or countryside? The mountains or the beach?
What is the focus of the trip? Is it a family trip, where diversions for the children are needed? Is your goal to relax or do you want lots of activity? Do you want to stay or put or move around?
When do you want to travel? Plan dates-but with some flexibility. Prices change as a destination moves from its high season to a "shoulder" season and then low season.
What type of tour do you want? Are you interested in the comfort of a fully escorted motorcoach tour or cruise? Would you prefer an all-inclusive package, or do you lean toward the greater independence of a modular approach?
