Introducing Jenni Richard, local travel agent

"We are so fortunate to have an educated and experienced local travel agent now", that's what people in Tehachapi are saying about Jenni Richard, the owner of Travel by Jenni.

Jenni opened up her office in town on Brian Way in November, but has been running her business since 2006. Her agency specializes in all inclusive resorts, groups, and river and ocean cruising.

She has lived in England and traveled to twenty-five countries thus far. The main message that she wants people to hear is that online websites, like Expedia, are the middle man between the vendor and the person booking the trip; they are charging a commission, which is added to your trip's cost making it higher!

You can't get a better deal when booking online. Travel agents work directly with the vendors, which bypasses those extra fees, so they are able to pass on the savings to you.

Here's the best part! You don't pay Jenni a dime when you book a trip through her! You get the best deal and you also have someone that has answers to all your questions. She takes care of all the details and all you have to do is look forward to your vacation!

Recently Kathy Murray, owner of Tehachapi Dance Theatre, rebooked her spring break cruise to the Caribbean through Jenni. She had originally booked direct with Celebrity and had paid $500 more for a lower category!

If you are looking to travel with a group, she can pass even more savings to you. For example, if you go on a cruise and get seven to eight cabins booked (depends on the cruise line), you can get your fare for free! Not every travel agency will do that; they have a choice whether to pocket the extra commission or to pass the savings on to their client.

Jenni always gives it back to her clients, which is why she now has clients all over the Unites States. Travel has been a positive influence in her life and it shows in how much she loves her job.

Tracey Duncan of Oakhurst, Calif., has been a client since 2007 and says, "Jenni is amazing! She has organized trips for me personally and as a teacher. Whether it is a seven day cruise for my husband and I, or a five day field trip to Washington D.C. for 70 people, she makes all of the arrangements and is so organized and helpful. I couldn't ask for a better travel agent."

Ed Parsons, of Oklahoma City, Okla., was referred to Jenni over four years ago and books through her multiple times a year. He says he won't use anyone else!

Wedding season is coming up and Jenni has booked several wedding destinations and honeymoons as well. If you are looking for an amazing experience and an amazing deal, don't hesitate to contact Jenni at (661) 972-4443 or (559) 760-8661.
