CI Travel Agents are conscientious.
Travel Policies: Travel agents not only keep track of what’s going on in the world, but they are also keenly aware of your organization’s travel policy. It’s their job to help you remain in compliance, which means that you’re going to have fewer problems getting approvals or processing expense reimbursements.
Waivers and Favors: Because they’re always dealing with your favorite suppliers, travel agents know how to get the most out of those relationships. That leads to additional perks and advantages when you work with a travel agent. Benefits can include early check-in, late check-out, free breakfast, or parking. If the opportunity exists, they take it for you!
Conditions at Your Destination: CI Azumano travel agents are constantly tracking CDC and US State Department advisories. They will be aware of conditions on the ground at your destination, so you don’t fly into a dangerous situation. If something happens while you’re in-country, our agents are notified and they spring into action, proactively informing you of new developments and working with you to get you safely out of the situation.
Travel Insurance: When it makes sense for you, a great travel agent can organize additional travel insurance through a third-party insurer. Travel insurance can literally be a lifesaver, providing coverage for local hospital costs or even evacuation from a difficult situation.
CI Travel Agents always go the extra mile.
Technology Experts: Travel agents are equipped with the latest technology required to book and manage the perfect trip for their travelers. They have access to the widest depth and breadth of suppliers right on their computer screens.
Logistics Managers: There are so many new details to manage on each trip. Letting an expert travel agent handle the details of the trip frees up your time to focus on what you need to accomplish when you’re on the ground.
Loyalty Program Managers: Travel agents store all of your loyalty program numbers in one place and make sure every booking includes them. You’ll maximize your points and never have to worry about keeping track of all of those numbers and points programs.
