Questions Travel Agents Should Ask Their Clients

Asking clients to fill out questionnaires helps travel agents to curate a perfect trip itinerary that aligns with their clients' preferences and expectations. By utilising questionnaires, travel agents can ensure they have a complete understanding of their clients' preferences.

These questionnaires enable travel agents to delve into their clients' travel aspirations, covering aspects such as preferred destinations, activities, travel dates, budget, accommodation preferences, dietary requirements, and any special celebrations or occasions they want to incorporate into their trip. This level of detail and insight empowers travel agents to craft personalised itineraries that cater precisely to their clients' expectations, making their trip a truly bespoke and unforgettable experience.
