Full service travel agent comes to Frontenac County

Jeff Green | Sep 13, 2012

In an age when many travellers choose to book their own travel arrangements online, “It isn’t until they run into problems that they realise the benefits of working with a licensed travel agent,” says Carrie Borer, a full service travel agent who works with Flight Centre Associates to book flights, tour packages, and other travel products.

“I have worked as an International Travel Consultant for more than 17 years. I strive to make holidays as comfortable as possible for everyone, especially clients with special needs. I have helped plan many international wedding groups, honeymoons, cruises, Disney trips, and all inclusive and customized vacations,” said Carrie Borer.

Borer will be working with her son, Erik Zierer, as they set up a full service office from her new home near Sharbot Lake. They both are Travel Insurance Council of Ontario (TICO) certified travel agents, and Erik is also a graduate of Mohawk College's Travel and Tourism program.

Borer encourages potential clients to compare the pricing and features that she can offer with those offered by popular online services.

“I can often offer better pricing and always offer less risk for clients, because when a carrier or tour operator does not honour their commitment, my clients have someone to call,” she said.

There is no risk associated with calling Carrie Borer. If she can’t match the pricing of another offer, there is no obligation to book with her.

Over the years she has also continued to further her travel education and keep up with new travel legislation. She recently successfully completed a TICO Travel Counsellor and Supervisor course and is a certified travel agent in Cuba, Mexico, Hawaii, and Disney theme parks.

“I am excited for the opportunity to meet the many residents of the Frontenac regions and look forward to helping people plan their trips, reunions, group incentives or even just weekend getaways. With my son Erik we will offer the highest customer service and care,” she said.

Office hours are Monday to Friday from 10 am to 4 pm; evenings and weekends by appointment. Call 613-305-3151 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to contact Carrie or arrange a home visit.
