A travel advisor is a professional who helps plan and organize trips, offering personalized recommendations for destinations, accommodations, flights, and activities, and trip protection. They provide expert guidance and tailor travel experiences to suit clients' preferences, often specializing in specific regions or types of travel.
Your travel advisor is paid via a mix of planning fees and commissions from the services you book. It includes the added value of the best options for additional touring and activities, any time spent putting my expertise to work, and consultation time with suppliers.
Your advisor can typically be reached most efficiently via text at +1 (803) 792-1548 Monday through Saturday between 8a and 8pm. Every effort will be made to respond same day.
If you are traveling and there is an urgent matter, a phone call or message via the Trip Plans app is best.
Travel pricing is highly variable and, depending on what you're trying to book, the disparities can be staggering from one moment to the next. To overcome these highly dynamic pricing structures across multiple suppliers, your advisor will do their best to get your quote pricing locked in. Your advisor is not responsible for changes in these costs and cannot affect what changes and when.
A good rule of thumb is to plan a big international trip 6-9 months in advance. Domestic or short term travel can be planned 90 days out to ensure a deposit can be paid if you're not ready to pay-in-full. Post-COVID, travelers are on the move more and more. Plans are getting booked constantly and, as a result, inventories and access to the experiences you want to have can disappear in a matter of hours! To ensure you are booking the customized trip you want, it's best to start early.
