itravel’s Kim Wudko and a team of real-life Travel Agents have rehearsed their lines, channeled their inner actors, and given another stellar performance in the second “Travel Agents Do Travel” promo video!

Earlier last week, KarryOn wrote a follow-up story on the success of a Travel Agent promo video that was scripted, created and paid for entirely by itravel’s Head of Strategic Partnership, Kim Wudko.

And today, we’re been privy enough to get hold of another video that again demonstrates why booking with a professional is just the sensible thing to do.

Check it out below:

The new video highlights the importance of booking with a Travel Agent, especially when it comes to the complicated world of visas.

As the video rightfully demonstrates, you can travel without a toothbrush or pair of undies, but if you don’t have a visa or even the correct type of visa, you’re screwed. So why risk it?

Online booking websites won’t necessarily inform you that you need to obtain a visa prior to being allowed to enter a country (*cough, Webjet*).

And if passengers find themselves in that unenviable situation of not being able to board a flight because they don’t have one, not even travel insurance will cover any expense involved with either getting a last minute or changing/cancelling your holiday…

Now, if only we could get the masses to understand this!

A special shout-out goes to Helen Eves from Holland America and Amanda Rixon from CLIA for their Oscar-worthy performances!

All Travel Agents that appeared in the cool new vid volunteered their time and are to be commended for their effort in fighting back against unfair TV ads that seek to tarnish the reputation of good, hard-working Travel Agents in Australia.
