Working with a luxury travel advisor is like having a personal concierge for all your travel needs. Imagine having someone who knows the best destinations, the most exclusive resorts, and the hidden gems that only a few are privileged to experience. Your VIP travel advisor will tailor every aspect of your trip to your preferences, whether you're seeking a relaxing Caribbean getaway, a cultural exploration, or an adventure-filled journey! Let's dive into part of our process to put together your perfect getaway!
Is there a difference between a travel advisor and a travel agent? A travel agent typically books hotel and air online, while a Travel Advisor, books hotel, flights and tours. At VIP, we are more of Travel Advisor/Concierge. We schedule personal meetings to discover your travel personality,then research and match you with best experiences based on your feedback. We design the experience to match your preferences and needs, choosing the accommodation and location that is a perfect fit for you and your experiences. We have strong partnerships in countries across the world that we are able to coordinate with. The whole planning process is more personal and customized to YOU. A Travel Advisor/Concierge is more invested in the entire travel experience from planning, to booking all components of travel, and making sure we exceed your travel dreams up until your return home.
I'm ready to take a trip! What happens when I contact you? How do you customize trips to make it the perfect trip for me?We have you complete a short survey prior to a personal phone call to dive deeper. We pull out the vision in your head of you enjoying your perfect trip, find out your travel personalities, likes, dislikes and seek ways to have the most magical experience.
