Selecting the Right Travel Agent for you!

These days when planning your vacation there are so many options on how to plan. Starting with doing research online, or finding a travel agent, it is actually over whelming.

Many travelers start with planning on line then start to wonder if that is too good of a deal to be true, do can they trust certain websites, or how do they know if this is even a good resort. That is where some of you turn to a Travel Agent.

Here are a few TIPS to help find the right travel agent. Do know they can make the difference in your vacation.

1. Try a get a referral from a friend on who their agent is.
2. Google or Look in the phone book for a local travel agent.
3. When contacting a travel agent ask a few questions, such as, what are your fees (if any), what is your experience and last how long have you been an agent.

Here is the answers to a few of our TIPS about the agents at Becker World Travel. Starting with our agents having a degree from a travel agent school or have been trained by and experienced travel agents. Together our agents have been in the business for over 20 years, and keep their education updated.

Our agency does not charge much in fees if any at all, most of our vacation packages we do not charge our clients fees. That is because we work with so many travel suppliers. We take price in no fees and feel as if it is giving our clients a free service of our knowledge and experience.

Our favorite things we do to keep ahead of the rest is travel many times thru the year, tour resorts, stay at the resorts we suggest, and try out excursions.

This past year Stefanie traveled Cancun and Cabo San Lucas, toured many resorts and tried a variety of excursions, such as swimming with the dolphins, speed boating and snorkeling. I (Nichole) traveled to Cancun- TWICE!, Las Vegas and Cabo San Lucas, not only toured many hotels, I had a blast touching a shark on a catamaran cruise, snorkeing in Cabo, and visited the botanical gardens at the Bellagio. In addition I will be visiting Belize, Roatan, Cotsa Maya, and Bahamas.

My favorite thing to tell clients is the minor details that can make a difference in their vacation.

We wish you all happy and safe travels for 2010. Call us today we would love to help you.

The most Engagements happen Christmas thru Valentines Day . . . .

Brent and Avril's Destination Wedding at the Riu Santa Fe, in Cabo San Lucas.
November 21, 2009



Most Bride and Grooms love the Beautiful backdrop a Destination Wedding offers for thier Wedding,





It is that time of the year, we are all so busy planning the Holidays with so much shopping , wrapping, baking and parties. Some of us do not even know that our special men in our lives are planning how to pop the question and surprise us to the fullest.

My husband as many men ask me to marry him on Christmas Eve, 11 years ago. I will always remember it, he snuck it into my stocking. I did not even notice that there was anything in my stocking. Right after the holidays I started planning, I found that we were asking ourselves what kind of wedding do we want, where, and when. There was so much to think about.

When talking together you may find that you want a destination wedding. Over the years they have become so popular and bride and grooms find it easier for everyone. With a destination wedding your guests get a bonus a Vacation! Since the popularity of destination weddings have grown resorts have made it also easier with so many options.

Here are a few tips to get you started.
1. Destination weddings can be more relaxing for you and your
guests. So remember to pre-plan and keep everyone in mind. Meaning
destination, flight options, amenities of resort and budget.
2. Find a resort that specialized in Weddings, it will help your planning. Many of resorts offer Weddings but may not host a large number of weddings therefore may hinder your plans.
3. Plan early Resorts book up fast for wedding ceremony times. Also it
allows your guests to save money for the trip.
4. You do not have to do this on your own. Find a Travel Agent the specializes in Destination
Weddings. They know the destinations and resorts that cater to Weddings, and typically have personal contacts.
5. Are there children attending? This is something to think of since they are important too. Sandals is an excellent resort to get married at however are children going that will not work. Sandals is adults only. Possibly think of Beaches or Dreams.
6. My favorite is remember that you are combining your wedding and honeymoon together, look into staying a few days longer than your guests. It gives you time alone to enjoy each other. You are already there it typically does not cost much more.
Congratulations on your Engagement !
Happy planning, just remember have fun with it.
Give us a call today we would love to help you plan your destination wedding or honeymoon.

It is official . .


Here in Minnesota this morning is 17 degrees . . . and that means it is time to start thinking about warm places.


Imagine this . . .

exchanging your winter coat for a swim suit . . .

or hot chocolate for a Margarita on the rocks . . .

or a stressed out work day for an afternoon nap on the beach.


It was been a busy week here at Becker World Travel and with that we have found a few great specials.


Starting with Cabo San Lucas, great Saturday to Saturday charter flights. Cabo has many great priced hotels. A few of my favorites are the Royal Solaris, Riu Santa Fe and the new resort Barcelo Palace. The Barcelo Palace have just opened and being a 5 star resort it is an excellent value right now.


Also like many past winter seasons January is a great value time to travel. Typically we see more affordable air prices and hotel prices. That means you are getting so much more of your vacation out of your money!


We still have many MLT coupons for a variety of hotel and destinations. This can be a savings of up to $150 per reservation. This is good thru December.
