When you hear the words travel advisor, what is the first thing that comes to mind? I know years ago; a travel advisor was known as a travel agent. And they were known for booking what I call cookie cutter vacation packages. You know what I am talking about. Packages that were considered one size fits all vacations for travelers. Thankfully, travel advisors have evolved. At least the good ones have. Nowadays, a travel advisor will customize your trip, so you are doing everything you want while exploring new destinations. Today, I am sharing the top reasons why you should use a travel advisor for your next amazing vacation. 

5 Reasons to Use a Travel Advisor for Your Next Amazing Vacation

Reason 1: Expertise and Personalization

As an expert travel advisor, I take the time to understand your specific needs and the wants of the people you are traveling with.  Even making suggestions on creative outings that are unique while making memories you will treasure for years to come. 

I use all the information and details you share with me to customize your vacation, so it suits your preferences, interests, and budget. 

When you work with me, you will never need to worry about a boring itinerary. Or seeing attractions or participating in activities you have no interest in. Like an artist I love to create a masterpiece that is an ultimate travel experience. 

Reason 2: Time Savings

We all know that planning a vacation can be quite time-consuming. It can take hours to research accommodations, transportation, attractions, and activities. Add in the time to book everything and coordinate it all, and you are looking at another full-time job. 

That doesn’t really sound like fun! It sounds quite stressful. Especially since the goal of a vacation is relaxing and having a good time. 

You definitely don’t need to be even more stressed and overworked before your vacation begins. 

When you work with me, I will save you the headache. I take care of all the research, details, and logistics. I will even handle any blips that happen along the way while you are on vacation. That way you can simply enjoy every minute of your time away from home. 

Reason 3: Access to Insider Information

Did you know that I have created lots of lasting relationships in the travel industry over many years? This is excellent news for you, because it means I can share insider information with you. Your travel advisor is the friend that knows the local guides, the off-the-map places – the unsung heroes that color your journey with the experiences you can’t just Google.

Are you interested in seeing the hidden gems in a destination? 

I can find them for YOU! 

Do you want to have a local experience on your next amazing vacation? 

I can set that up! 

Are you searching for exclusive opportunities during every trip you take? 

I can make those happen! This inside access isn’t just a perk but your gateway to a world perfectly tailored to just YOU for your vacation.

Reason 4: Destination Knowledge

My extensive personal travel history gives me firsthand knowledge about so many destinations around the world. Add in the workshops and conferences I have attended, and I can even share information about a destination I haven’t visited yet. 

This isn’t the stuff you have read. It’s personal experiences. The recount of the tastes of the street food. The magic in the scenic views. And the people you will meet. 

My stories are the compass, steering you away from tourist traps and towards the adventures of your trip. 

A travel advisor is a wealth of information who have journeyed to the destinations. Shared the dos and don’ts. Made you aware of local customs & visas. Ensuring authentic encounters for a world for you to discover. This can be valuable information when you are traveling in unfamiliar areas.

Reason 5: Emergency Assistance and Peace of Mind

You never know when an emergency will happen right before, or in the middle, of your amazing vacation. Thankfully, I will be available to help you with any emergency that comes up. 

I will advocate on your behalf, as we work through hiccups that happen when traveling. With a travel advisor you are never truly alone on your journey. We work behind the scenes to help you navigate unforeseen circumstances to ensure you have a smooth experience, despite any bump in the road. 

Bonus Reason

While these last five reasons are why you should work with a travel advisor for your next amazing vacation, there is one last reason why you should work with me. 

I include a few extra perks with your booked vacation. 

First, I set you up with a Trip App. This app holds all your travel documents, tips, and restaurants. It is an excellent option for finding what you need on the go. And you don’t need to stand somewhere shuffling through papers to find the information you need. 

Don’t worry, we value the “old school” style of providing professional documents as well. We include a printed copy with your custom travel bag filled with “trip must haves”. These are items you use for the destination you are visiting. We also provide packing tips and restaurant recommendations in many of the areas as well. 

So, what are you waiting for? Your next amazing vacation can be closer than you ever imagined!
