Always Treat Others Like You Wish To Be Treated
Travel has always been a very large part of my life, be it for business or pleasure. From the Caribbean to Europe, the Far East, Mexico, Canada, and much of the United States, my travels provided me not only with much enjoyment, but a wealth of knowledge on each and every place I visited.
During those years I made most of my own travel arrangements. I enjoyed doing the research, speaking directly with the hotels, airlines, cruise ship companies, and spending the time necessary to plan those trips. It wasn’t until I retired from my business career that I started to use a travel agent to assist me in planning the get-a-ways that I enjoyed with my special partner.
Since travel was their business they were always up to date on most everything. They assisted me in where to stay, how to get around easily, suggested restaurants that complemented the areas visited, and recommended excursions that were more in tune with what I would enjoy. But most important was the time they took to review and research my proposed trip so that I would enjoy my travels without having to worry if what I would have chosen was worthwhile.
I soon realized that I loved the experience of enjoying a well-researched vacation and also that my background would allow me to become successful in the travel business. Obviously education, professional associations, travel business relationships, and prior travel experiences are very important, but perhaps what is the most critical skill set for any advisor in any business is the ability to understand and communicate the needs of your clients and continually ensure that those needs are met.
Like in every profession, there are some Travel Advisors who are significantly better than others. So how do you decide who to use for your next adventure? Well, here are a few suggestions to make the task a bit easier, not in any particular order:
As a Travel Advisor I decided to concentrate my business in very specific areas of travel; Premium-Luxury River/Ocean Cruising, Custom Land Adventures, and Small Group Travel. My clients have ranged from parties of ten to eighty adults of all ages, visiting destinations around the globe, with 100% satisfaction.
If you would like to travel with that special someone, or, if you have a few couples that likes to travel together for pleasure or in a group, now is the perfect time to talk. Call or send me an email to see how we can work together and arrange the best travel arrangements.
