Whether or not you need a travel agent for Hawaii depends on several factors. Keep reading as we explore this in more detail.

What Is a Travel Agent?

Generally speaking, a travel agent can be a bonus when planning vacations; especially bucket list destinations like Hawaii. They are usually aware of local customs, peak and off seasons, ways to save money, et cetera. You’ll find some agencies are “mom & pop type” agents, local to your town, and others are affiliated with national travel agencies. You would consult with them, and they would offer you travel suggestions, and handle the booking. They received commissions from the airlines and hotels. Some could even schedule a few activities for you.

In the past, you could find travel agencies that specialized in specific locations or regions. Examples would be the Caribbean, Europe or Alaska. As you can imagine, agents would be intimately familiar with the areas they specialized in. As large booking sites such as Expedia and travel forums like TripAdvisor gained popularity, the demand for specialized travel agencies decreased. These days, it’s harder to find travel agents only offering Hawaii.

Is Aloha Hawaiian Vacations a Travel Agency?

Nope! Although we share some similarities, we are not a traditional travel agency. For instance, even though we specifically offer Hawaii, we only work with select hotels and resorts. We can assist you in finding the lowest-priced flights, but we have no financial incentive to steer you toward certain airlines or hotels.

In fact, we only offer the all-inclusive Hawaii vacation packages you see on our website! By dedicating ourselves to this niche specialty, we have been blessed to become one of the leading authorities on Hawaii travel!

Now let’s get down to the nitty gritty. The question of the hour is: Do I need a travel agent for Hawaii?

To answer your question; it depends.

Are you a seasoned traveler?

Certainly you don’t need a travel agent, even if it’s your first big trip…but it can help. If you’re unfamiliar with booking travel online, and want the personal touch of working with someone, you may want to consider a travel agent.

Are you only looking for air and hotel?

It’s important to think about what kind of Hawaii experience you want. In the event that you only want the bare bones, you probably don’t need a travel agent.

Do you have a travel agent you always work with?

If you have always booked your vacations through the same travel agent, you may feel compelled to do so, especially if y’all have a good working relationship.

Do you prefer working with “a real person” and having the same person you can email and call with questions?

In this case, it’s probably best for you to work with a person, instead of booking online through giant travel booking sites.
