More Reasons To Book With Us

The Reasons:

On-Going Advocate

Your travel advisor is your planning consultant but he or she is also your advocate in the event of last-minute changes, cancellations or problems that may arise.
 

Complete, Non-Biased Information

Travel advisors have complete access to all airlines and travel suppliers, unlike some websites that only provide limited information on specific products. We meet the owners of these companies each year at Travel Mart and the International Luxury Travel Market in Cannes, France which helps us create the relationships that make your trips special. We also keep up on the latest ideas and destinations the world over. Private guides are an amazing way to immerse yourself in a new place and experience the culture, history, and cuisine. The most knowledgeable private guides can open the doors to an intimate journey that will allow you to see each destination in a new light. We always seek out the most reputable companies with the friendliest English-speaking guides (or other languages as needed) who know the destinations you want to experience. I have carefully cultivated contacts with the friendliest expert guides the world over and together we will create memories and friendships to last a lifetime!
 

We Build Relationships

Travel advisors build long-term relationships with their clients, similar to accountants, lawyers or financial planners. A travel agent becomes very familiar with your business model and adapts to meet your growing and changing travel needs.
 

Knowledge Goes Beyond the Basics

Experienced travel advisors can offer advice on a much broader range of travel issues than most travel websites. These certifications are from The Travel Institute. The CTC certification has represented the pinnacle of travel industry professionalism for nearly fifty years and is designed for seasoned travel professionals who are interested in advancing their career.
 

An Advisor who has a designation of CTC (Certified Traveler Counselor) means:

To earn the CTC, the professionals must:

• Possess at least 5 years of full-time industry experience

• Have completed the CTA program
• Pass the CTC test.
• Complete a 2000-3000 word White Paper
• Commit to annual certification maintenance to retain their certification

An Advisor who has a designation of DS means:

A person who has passed a test administered by an accrediting body certifying that he or she possesses an expert level of knowledge about a specific tourist destination or region.
 

Transforming Confusion to Clarity

Travel advisors have been dealing with the complexities of the travel industry for years. Advisors are very well versed with all the rules and regulations, which can save you time and money. Travel advisors also manage your unused tickets that can be applied toward future travel arrangements. They monitor these credits and advise you if and when they can be used.
 

Enhance Your Travel Experience

We have travel partners around the world who can arrange private tours with the best guides and can open doors that most reservation agents and websites don’t even know exist.
 

Stay in Touch with the Latest

Travel advisors are constantly in the loop of travel news and alerts. Working with your travel advisor can keep you informed, saving you time and effort.
