Some trips are more exciting to plan others. Is that wrong?

Specialization and knowing our strength is a critical part of bringing the best value to clients. Can I book a trip for you anywhere in the world? Yes. Should I book a trip for you anywhere in the world? Maybe.

With global partners and a network I can rely on, I feel confident in planning adventures around the globe knowing that my clients will receive exceptional experiences. And, I understand the importance of seeking out clients who want to travel either where I have been or want to travel in the style in which I specialize.

I had a lovely conversation last night with two women heading to Morocco and I’m thrilled to have been connected because of my passion for this country. Even more thrilled to be hired as their travel planner for this exciting adventure.

Knowing my target audience, speaking from my personal experience, and connecting with others who desire to explore what I know…That is the sweet spot. So, where do you want to go AND how do you want to experience it?

That’s always my first question I ask a potential client.

“Like most travel agents, Sarah Fazendin spent much of last year canceling trips for clients. The owner of Videre Travel, an agency in Denver that specializes in high-end family getaways, scrambled to secure refunds and credit vouchers and organize paperwork for travel insurance claims.

That wasn’t the worst of it. “When an airline refunded a client, they also recalled our commission,” she says. “So as I worked around the clock, I watched my revenue go from record-breaking to nonexistent.” Hers is a common story: Travel agents as a whole lost a combined $12.4 billion in 2020, according to research company Phocuswright.

The travel agent may be one of the most misunderstood professional groups around. In a world with tons of digital DIY planning tools, who needs them? But thanks to fast-changing Covid-19 testing protocols, border restrictions, shifting airline schedules, rental car scarcity, and limited hotel inventory, even the most confident jet-setters are turning to the pros for help.”
