So Why Do I Need a Travel Advisor?
1) Save Time and Energy
Your vacation starts during the planning process and that of course lends to the overall experience of happiness/joy that you feel from the trip. Researching and planning your trip always takes longer than expected - at least 10-20 hours on average per week of travel, and way longer if you are researching a destination you have never been before or abroad. Think of all the other things you could be doing other than spending hours on TripAdvisor. Let us take that off your hands.
2) Save Money
Having an expert set of eyes double check your travel purchases, getting the honest truth of whether or not you really need a rental car, your travel advisor suggesting you travel at a different time for best value prices because of a local festival bumping up the hotel prices in the area …those are just a few ways I could save you money as a travel advisor using my knowledge of the industry and destination. On top of that, my partnerships and connections in the travel industry allow me to offer you not only preferential pricing but also the best exclusive deals to help you save.
3) Get Exclusive Perks & Benefits
With over 5,000 hotels & partnerships around the world, I can offer amazing value with perks such as: VIP Status, Room Upgrades, Complimentary Spa Services, Welcome Amenities & Gifts, WiFi, Welcome Cocktails, Early Check-in, Late Check-out & more!
4) Boost Your Guest Status
Just by booking through me you gain access to upgrades, discounts, and special amenities from the hotel you couldn't get if you booked through Expedia or Booking.com. Essentially on the totem pole of guests, you went from being a value booker at the bottom to the top by booking with me. A little known secret I had verified by my friends that work in the hotels. Simply put, if there is any special treatment to be offered by the hotel, you’d be the first in line.
5) Direct Line of Contact with Hotel
Receive advice from a certified professional up to date on all the travel trends, news, information, and deals. I also offer you a direct line to the hotel to ensure you get the VIP treatment you deserve. Any questions or requests you have, I can pass along to the front desk or reservations for you to ensure a seamless and well connected experience where you feel truly taken care of.
So How Does This Work…What Does This Cost?
The hotels pay me commission so you don’t have to! Sounds too good to be true? Well get this…all of the hotel prices you see online already include commission. Yes whether you are looking at Expedia, Booking.com or the hotel website directly, all the prices you see have commission built in. You as the consumer get to decide who collects on that commission by who you choose to book your travel through. So, if it doesn’t cost you any money…wouldn’t you rather book your travel with and support a deserving small business rather than million/billion dollar companies? There are some instances where I may charge a planning fee when the request is very complex or at a non-commissionable hotel, but I will be very open and honest about that up front if it’s the case!
Can’t I Just Book Travel Myself?
Of course you can! You can do a lot of things on your own… but a lot of those things you may choose to delegate to a professional simply to save yourself the time and effort…a few that come to mind - landscaping and gardening, house cleaning, your taxes!
So Can You Book Anything Other Than Hotels?
Absolutely, I can book a hotel for you when you need it and I can plan longer, more in depth itineraries as well including travel for special occasion, groups, and corporate. As a your Travel Advisor, I do the heavy lifting for you. You tell me your needs; I’ll leverage my personal expertise as well as my community’s expert travel intel and first-name-basis relationships with general managers to maximize your vacation. I’ll match-make you to the perfect destination, hotel, and tours & activities for your taste, and ensure you get the very best value for your money.
Need the TL;DR:
I won’t just save you time and energy, I’ll save you money, too.
You’ll get the inside scoop on everything from what makes a hotel or destination special to why you should order that starter every food critic is raving about.
I’ll score you awesome perks and upgrades you can’t get anywhere else.
I’m your direct line to the hotel’s management team — in other words, you’ll always be treated like the VIP you are.
