A travel advisor can always add value to your trip. It’s a bold statement, yes, but stay with me.
The value proposition of a travel advisor to anyone who doesn’t want to vacation plan as a second job is clear. You get to chat with me for a few minutes, go live your life for a bit, and then you get a plan for the vacations of your dreams handed to you. You also get my help before, during, and after your trip making sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
However, a travel advisor can help the vacation DIY-er, too. If you love planning and have the time, I won’t try to convince you otherwise. I’ll just ask you not to miss out on added value—give me a call.
Even if you already know when, where, and how you want to travel, a travel advisor can enhance your experience.
How?
Well, if you looked at a Family Verandah on the March 30 Departure of the Disney Wish today*, you’d see a listed price of $7128. That’s the exact same price I will give you. The same would apply if you look at a stay at Aulani. My price is the same as the same price you see online, and the same price pretty much anywhere else. If you give me the business, though, here’s what you get in addition to your purchase:
- My vendor connections: I’m part of a co-op that provides some nice no strings-attached benefits for many properties. If you think you might enjoy some free breakfast or an On Board Credit, it’s probably worth a call to see what I can do. More importantly. I’ll be your on-call advocate. Should anything go really wrong, I have special back-end agent systems and phone numbers to help get you help.
- Monitoring Rates and Offers: Enjoy a best price monitoring service. I use tools to check for new promotions or offers on your itinerary and ensure they’re applied to your trip—covering hotels, cruises, and other changeable items.
- Trip Reminders: I’ll handle the stress of planning by sending you reminders for booking activities, check-ins, and payment deadlines. No need to think—just wait for my timely text or email.
- Tips, Tricks, and Packing Lists: Benefit from my expert knowledge and insights from my extensive network. I’ll share the best excursions, unwritten rules, and cultural norms, offering as much or as little information as you prefer.
- I will provide a quick quality check to confirm you’re not going to hate what you picked. Another set of eyes never hurt. I’ve got several non-public resources with details and reviews of tour operators, specific hotel sites, cruise ships, etc. The worst that can happen, is I confirm you’re a planning genius.
- Esencia Family Travel Gift: When you book with me, you receive a special gift—for example a 5% onboard cruise credit on some cruises. Use it for wine, excursions, activities, or tips.
- Insurance Help: Should you take the resort’s protection plan? Should you purchase trip insurance, Cancel for Any Reason or base? Do you even need it. We’ll talk about your situation and figure it out together.
For those who prefer the DIY approach, using me to make the purchase brings extra gifts and services without any extra cost. Plus, supporting a local business benefits everyone involved.
Now, for those with a trip vision but needing assistance making it happen or help getting started, a travel advisor offers even more significant value. Whether you want a little help creating a memorable family vacation or need full-service end-to-end planning, I’m here to make your travel experience truly memorable.
Regardless of your travel service needs, give me a call and let’s chat before you pull the trigger. I can make it worth your time.
