Tehachapi's New Travel Wizard

You no longer need to spend hours online or your hard-earned gas money to go to Bakersfield or Lancaster to arrange your dream vacation. Jenni Richard of Travel by Jenni is bringing her business to Tehachapi. She is an independent travel agent with over ten years of experience, specializing in river and ocean cruises, all-inclusive packages and group travel. Jenni says that while many of her clients are in California, she has clients from all over the country as well.

Over the years, Jenni has developed her knowledge and expertise from living abroad and her personal travels to nineteen different countries. She completed her certifications from the Travel Career Institute of Florida Inc. in 2006. She is a member of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) and Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).

Jenni is literally one-stop shopping for your vacation needs. Making your reservations is just one of the services offered by Travel by Jenni. She is there as a resource for ideas on how to make your vacation the best trip ever and for support when problems arise. She is your advocate when you are away and there is a hiccup in your trip. She can also be an impartial advisor when decisions must be made that involve multiple travelers.

Jenni does not charge you for any of these services. The cruise lines, resorts, hotels and tour operators that you use on your vacation all pay her a commission for sending her clients to them. That means that you get the benefit of her extensive knowledge of destinations and other travel related businesses. If you want to add a few days before or after your cruise or tour, she is the one to help you plan it. She can save you time and money. In May 2016, Consumer Reports printed a study from ASTA reporting that using a travel agent can create an average savings of $450 and at least four hours of planning for the consumer. Jenni can always match and virtually beat the deals available online.

In addition to all of Jenni's other services, she will help you take care of any passport, visa services, and travel insurance that may be required for your travel plans. It is this personal service that makes so many of Jenni's clients repeat customers. Miriam Baldwin and Nadine Page of Tehachapi both rave about her services.

It is a WIN WIN for anyone wanting to go on a vacation! Jenni urges everyone to check her Jenni Richard or Travel by Jenni Facebook page. Every Monday, she will post current travel specials. She will be in the Tehachapi Fall Business Showcase on Sept.28, 2016 at the West Park Activity Center showcasing her vendors.
