What Services I Offer My Clients
If you have never worked with a travel agent before, this blog will help you better understand the services that I offer my clients.
One of the reasons I became a travel agent is because I have a passion for showing others that adventure is within everyone’s grasp; that it is in our backyard. My hope is to inspire others to go out and explore, and to understand the significance of our community in this world. My travels have taught me that we are all connected. We just have to take the time to discover what it is that connects us to each other.
So, what services do I offer as a travel agent? First, let's talk a little bit about what I can book and the types of travel offered.
What types of travel components do I book?
This is perhaps one of the most asked questions. I find that most people have an understanding of a travel agent, but do not fully understand the extent of such services. As a travel agent, I can book a trip with many different components. I am able to book every single thing involved in a trip, including making restaurant reservations. To help you understand better, here is a list of travel components that I can book:
activities and attractions
in-destination experiences (i.e. culinary class, wine tasting tour, scavenger hunt, etc.)
tours
lodging
private chauffeur
rental vehicle (including motorcoaches)
cruises
cruise excursions
airfare (typically only as a part of a package with other components like lodging, etc.)
airport transfer
travel insurance
In addition to the above list, I also curate itineraries for your travel. Whether you use me as the booking agent for your travel or not, I can create an itinerary for the trip based on your preferences and time schedule.
What types of travel do I book?
I specialize in domestic travel, as I love exploring and showing off my country. The United States has so many different types of climate and regions. Culture abounds because it's a melting pot of ethnicities. As a result, the food is amazing and full of ethnic flavors! Endless attractions, museums, and oddities span the country. No matter where you are, there is something for everyone. Whether you want a secluded cabin in the mountains, hip night life, animal encounters, and so much more, you can experience it in the United States!
I also specialize in group and large family travel. Whether you're interested in starting a church travel group, local travel club, or just have a large family, I handle all the details and manage every component of the travels. Group travel should be fun, stress free and relaxing - and that's exactly where I come in!
While domestic and group travel are my specialties, I do book other types of experiences and destinations. Travels that I curate and book include, but not necessarily limited to:
group travel
multi-generational travel
solo travel
International travel and experiences
small ship cruises
river cruises
expedition cruises
villas and vacation home rentals
all-inclusive resorts
destination weddings and honeymoons
tropical destinations and experiences
safaris
Who do I curate and book travel for?
My services extend to essentially anyone who wants to work with or needs a travel agent. I work with many different types of travelers, including, but not limited to:
solo travelers
groups (i.e. friends, family, corporations, churches, local travel groups, weddings, etc.)
couples
female travelers
families
