The value of using a travel advisor

Time to plan your travel. 

But here are some very good reasons to use me, your friendly neighborhood travel advisor:

1.The depth and breadth of my connections in the travel industry.  Through my host agency, Gifted Travel Network, I have access to the best luxury travel partners, including those who are members of Virtuoso.  Virtuoso and Gifted Travel Network are both constantly vetting the partnerships so that they only stay in preferred relationships with the best.  They have to prove the quality of their services or they lose preferred status.  You can rest assured that by using the preferred partners I have access to, you will have the best possible experience.  

2. When you choose me to book your services, especially through one of our preferred travel partnerships, we have access to escalation contacts that can help you resolve any issues that are bound to arise during your travels.  We all know that we can't control everything and prevent things from ever going wrong, but it is essential that you have someon to go to bat for you when things do go wrong.  

3.You won't get the best, lowest pricing.  You will get the highest quality available at your price point.  You won't have a "free" advisor because time, knowledge, and relationships are what help to create the experience you want.  People who value quality are not afraid to pay for it.  Like any other professional, a travel advisor advises.  Years ago, there were travel agents.  Now there are advisors.  You don't need an agent. You can go online and book things for yourself.  But if you want the personal touch and attention you deserve, as well as access to the best properties and experiences the world has to offer, you want to work with me.  From tours to travel insurance, I've got you covered.  You can even get in on the most elite experiences like Virgin Galactic.  There really is no limit to what you can experience with a travel advisor.  Some of these journeys are only available through Virtuoso luxury travel advisors.  

4. Beyond the travel partnerships, I also have a whole network of advisors that I can work with and consult on the more difficult asks.  You're not just working with me.  You're working with my network.  

5. I have specialized knowledge.  Is sustainability important to you?  Are you neurodivergent or autistic?  Does it just feel overwhelming when you think about all the work that will need to go into planning your journey?  Have no fear.  That's why I'm here.  I'm a Certified Autism Travel Professional.  I am a member of the Virtuoso Sustainability Community.  While sustainability and autism-friendly travel might be more difficult to find, it is not worth giving up or settling for less than you want. Not everything exists everywhere, but if you are flexible, you can find options that will suit your needs.  

6. It's all up to you.  You are the one who makes the ultimate decision.  

I hope these tips help you to realize why it is so important to use a travel advisor.  When you're ready, reach out to me at [email protected] and we can explore working together.
