BE CAREFUL
WHERE YOU
BOOK!
SHOCKER:
Bet you didn’t
know that if you book on the internet, they can bump you from the plane,
move you to another hotel, not provide what you bought,
or just basically treat you like dirt because they
can… after all, you’re just a number & they know there is nothing you can
do about it!
(Read the fine print!).
Who is the internet customer going to call if there
is a problem, the little gnome doll?!
Not at Tiki Trips-- we make
SURE you get what you buy; they cannot do this to you because you are our
client!
How so? Airlines,
hotels, everyone can ALL SEE WHERE YOUR RESERVATION COMES FROM, & if you are an
internet customer, you are the lowest man on the hotel’s totem pole of
importance. Did you know that hotels run daily reports of their guests checking
in that day, & the hotel staff will “target” internet booking customers for the
worst rooms? Or worse, they’ll “bump”
the internet customer by sending them away to another hotel without their
knowledge or consent! In contrast, the hotel staff will tag our reservations for
the best rooms… why? Because when your reservation comes
from Tiki Trips—a private
company with private clients & private “no disturb” contracts (vs. an
internet site with “public” clients & no contracts like ours), then
they know not to mess with you & us,
& they’ll take good care of you simply
because you are our client.
We also have superior, “preferred” room types at the resorts… so even if you
think you are buying the same room type (our
gardenview vs. the internet site’s
gardenview, for example) for a lower price online than what we offer, that room
may NOT be the same room type… hotels frequently cut deals “under the table”
with internet companies for a substandard
room type (overlooking the dumpster, next to the elevator, their “problem”
rooms with the smell, etc.) that you would
never get if you are our client.
Basically, private clients are always, ALWAYS going to come out ahead in a
sea of public online reservations & always be given preferential treatment.
“VIP” trumps “regular” any day of the week… & “regular” may be trumped right out
of the hotel! We’ve seen it happen to others,
never to ours. After all, if you are
the hotel clerk who has to pick someone to give that bad room to or send them
away, wouldn’t you pick on the internet customer—ONE guy—rather than the private
CLIENT of a private company with legions of people & contacts to back up that
client? That hotel desk clerk KNOWS who to bother & who NOT to bother… & that
clerk would rather upset ONE internet customer than a LEGION of others—the
private client, the client’s travel agents, all the agents’ contacts at HQ, the
agents’ hotel reps, dozens of people up & down the chain of command. It’s not a
tough decision. Heaven help the airline or hotel who picks on a Tiki Trips
client!

BOOK YOUR TRIP WITH THOSE YOU KNOW…
Why? We aren’t going anywhere, unlike other places.
In this economy,
companies of every size, type, structure, line of business, location, you name
it, are going BANKRUPT, belly-up, every day!
Especially internet-based companies… they can go *POOF* overnight with NO
warning. Do you know ANYONE at that second-rate online company with the cheesy
name? Do you know anyone at that big online company who will back up your trip
when that discount airline or hotel you booked bumps you or goes out of
business? (You’d be shocked what you agreed to in the fine print...).
We are starting to hear LOTS of stories
about folks buying their trips online or with other companies they don’t know, &
they get ready to go on their trip… & guess what, NO TRIP! No tickets, no
reservations, that company has gone out of business… or just as bad, their
airline or hotel shuts down, & they have nobody to call… and their money is
GONE. Even if they somehow get their money back eventually (which is rare),
their trip is ruined & cancelled, AND/OR
it will cost them twice as much to RE-buy it last-minute when they find out what
has happened! And what if it is for an ultra-important trip like your
honeymoon? Can you afford to pay
TWICE for that? Not many folks can. DON’T LET THIS
NIGHTMARE HAPPEN TO YOU!
We
at Tiki Trips pledge to provide you a quality vacation each & every time you
make your travel plans with us.
We strive to offer you a great value for your money at a fair price. We care
about our clients & the quality of their experience on their trip; therefore we
will at all times give you our honest opinion & professional assessment of the
trip you are planning, no exceptions. When you book with us at Tiki Trips,
you never, ever have to wonder “is this going to be a good place?” because we
recommend ONLY what we know will be a quality vacation & a great experience for
our travelers. How do we know? Because we have BEEN THERE! We travel
extensively to many destinations & many hotels/resorts to find out what the best
is… EXPERIENCE is EVERYTHING. “Quality” doesn’t have to mean “expensive”, & we
always strive to offer you the most for your money. We also back up what we
sell (buying travel on the internet doesn’t give you ANY backup) & assure you
will get what you buy… we protect our clients in the unlikely event that
something unforeseen happens to them… you have a live agent & real person to
call! Our clients trust us completely because they know how we work & what we
stand for... we love what we do, & folks tell us it SHOWS. Everything looks
great on the internet, otherwise it wouldn’t be there… & “everything that
glitters is not gold”, as they say. Nobody wants to buy garbage, therefore we
don’t sell it! Simply put, the surest way to do the best travel destinations &
resorts out there is to contact us at Tiki Trips… we are your agent &
your FILTER for only the good stuff!
Bottom line,
Tiki Trips offers PROTECTION to you for your trip & QUALITY ASSURANCE that
you get what you buy. Unlike the internet, there is someone you know— your Tiki
Trips agent-- that you can always call or visit our office for assistance
before, during & after your trip! By booking with us
at Tiki Trips & you’ll have peace of mind that your trip & your trip
money are both safe with us… we’ll get it done right
