Welcome
Platinum World
Travel is a privately owned
Independent Travel Agents based in Liverpool. We are members of the Liverpool
Tourist Board and act as Booking Agents for the Official Tourist
Board Blue Badge, Green Badge and Liverpool 08 Guides for the
European Capital of Culture 2008 celebrations. We
provide guides for tours of Liverpool and the surrounding area in
many different languages including French, German, Spanish,
Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Russian.
As an
ATOL bonded agent you have peace of mind knowing that your money
is safe in a trust account and can only be used to pay suppliers
once your holiday is complete. That
way if for any reason a supplier goes out of business your money
remains safe in the trust account and an alternative supplier
will be found so you may continue on your holiday or you will be
refunded.
We have
branches in West Derby and Tuebrook and provide a fully
comprehensive worldwide travel service for our clients. If
you do not live near to one of our branches then don't dismay as
we can assist you via email or telephone as many of our clients
do.
What
value does Platinum World Travel add?
Next to
a house purchase or a new car, your holiday is most likely your
third biggest expense and one that occurs year after year and
for those more fortunate several times a year. You
purchase decisions should be approached in the same way you
would approach any other investment.
Our
worldwide travel advisors add to your overall travel experience ensuring
that every detail is taken care of adding peace of mind to the
discerning traveller. Our Travel Advisors are well
travelled and have a wealth of information on a wide variety of
worldwide destinations. When you contact Platinum World Travel
you will be allocated a Travel Advisor with the relevant
knowledge and practical travel experience in your travel
destination
By
using our services you are not limiting your buying options as
we will compare our prices to the internet and all other
suppliers to assist our clients to make an informed buying
decision whether it be through our suppliers or over the
internet or a combination of both.
How is Platinum World
Travel different from a Thomson or Thomas Cook Retail
Agent?
The high street is full of
retail branches from the main tour operators Thomson, Thomas
Cook, Airtours and First Choice. These multiples will
predominately sell their own brands and you will therefore be
limited to what stock they have to sell. If the holiday
that you want is not available they may tempt you with some
alternatives.
As an independent travel
agent we do not favour any tour operator instead we focus on
finding our clients the holiday that they want for the price
that they want to pay. We deal with more than 500
suppliers including the all of the main tour operators. As
a consortium of more than 800 Independent Travel Agents with a
combined buying power of £2.5 billion we benefit from the best
rates and a number of exclusive deals. We compare the market to
ensure that our clients are getting the best value for their
money.
What about price
comparison sites?
Price comparison sites only
compare the prices of the companies that pay to advertise on
their websites and this will not be every supplier that sell
that particular, flight, hotel or holiday. At Platinum
World Travel we compare the prices of all suppliers including
the internet to ensure that we offer the best possible price.
Why Platinum World Travel?
Quite simply you get the holiday that you want for the price
you want to pay and our service to you is free. A
popular misconception people have is that you pay something
extra to a Travel Agent but this not true. We act as a
sales team for our suppliers and they pay us a commission for
everything we sell.
We take the stress out of
finding the best holiday at the best price for you. The
average person will spend in excess of 19 hours trying to find the best deal
on the internet. Our award winning technology enables us with
to find your holiday within minutes and we guarantee to beat any
genuine quote from any other ATOL bonded agent.
We have
clients throughout the United Kingdom and beyond who use our
services on a regular basis due to our low prices and high
quality service. More than 60% of our business is by means
of repeat business and positive word of mouth referrals.
We look forward to receiving your enquiry and welcoming you as a client
of Platinum World Travel.
Recent Developments
Recently the BIG 4 have
become the BIG 2 with Thomas Cook merging with MY Travel
(Formally Airtours) and Thomson merging First Choice. As a
result of the mergers each company is reducing the amount of
retail outlets that they have and also the number staff they
employ.
Less holidays will be sold
this year than there has been in previous years and therefore
supply in many cases could be below demand meaning that the
average price of a holiday this year will increase and it is
more important than ever to book early to avoid disappointment.
Finally
We work extremely hard for
our clients and therefore do not have the time to entertain
unscrupulous people masquerading as potential clients in order
to gain information and advice without any intention of booking.
Neither do we wish to be part of any bidding war with other
agents, a tactic which is often employed by timewasters to try
to reduce the cost of their holiday. If you are going to
shop around then please do so before you contact Platinum World
Travel. We aim to beat any quotation that you have
received from an ATOL bonded agent. By avoiding
timewasters we are better able to look after the needs of our
genuine customers and save them money on their travel
requirements.
'Time is precious, Please
don't waste ours...'
