HOW WE MAY DIFFER FROM OTHER TRAVEL AGENCIES
Our Professional Travel Planning Businesses have very little overhead as we work from mobile offices, which puts us in a unique position, especially during uncertain times in the travel industry. There is very little risk to having us assist with your vacation plans, in fact due to our experience and inside knowledge using our services certainly should be a benefit. We help you navigate through booking your vacation and make recommendations that will help make your experience as seamless as possible.
With almost every booking we do, the supplier will charge your credit card directly for your trip, we do NOT hold your money - this means if for any reason any of our Professional Travel Planning Businesses closed you would not loose your booking. It is important you review the suppliers terms and conditions for your trip and agree to them prior to having us confirm the trip on your behalf. Please note; in the rare situation we do have to hold your money and pay the supplier on your behalf we will make you aware prior to booking so you can make an educated decision.
We really do want your vacation to be magical, and have the expertise to help make your vacation experience as seamless as possible. As independent business owners we have an invested interest in your vacation. The best way to have our business grow is through referrals from happy clients and through repeat business. We make the time investment to ensure we are experts in our field. This is done through training with our host TPI (Travel Professionals International), training with Travel Suppliers from around the world, training with organizations like ACTA (the Association for Canadian Travel Agencies), taking part in conferences, travelling and building relationships with suppliers.

COST ASSOCIATED WITH OUR PROFESSIONAL PLANNING SERVICES:
At Magical Trips Team, we're committed to making your travel experience seamless and enjoyable. To start, we offer a complimentary consultation where we'll discuss your travel wish list. After understanding your needs, we'll provide an estimate of any fees associated with our services.
For most trips over the past decade, we haven’t charged service fees directly to our clients. Instead, travel suppliers compensate us after your trip. Their pricing includes these fees, whether you book directly, online, or through an agent, covering the administrative costs of your journey.
However, some specialized bookings, like cruises, might incur a minimal fee (typically around $25 + tax per family). This charge allows us to secure the best possible rates for you, often resulting in significant savings. Another example is ticketing fees of $25 + tax per person are often associated with domestic flight-only bookings.
In response to the challenges posed by the pandemic, including increased workload and a higher number of cancellations, we have introduced a $100 + tax cancellation fee. This fee applies per room for cruises and per booking for other travel arrangements. It helps cover the services we provide, as suppliers do not compensate us if travel doesn't occur. We strive to offer exceptional service to all our clients, and this fee ensures we can continue to do so effectively.
