Many of my high-end luxury travel clients are successful business owners or executives. And most are well traveled, going on 3-4 amazing vacations each year. What makes their vacations better than yours? Here are their travel secrets:
You might think it’s all about the money, but it really isn’t. It’s all about customization. Everyone’s definition of luxury is a bit different, and everyone has different tastes and desires. My luxury travel clients want a trip itinerary that’s designed specifically for them.
Some only want the finest five star hotels with many amenities, while others want a secluded villa for the ultimate in privacy. Some like a lot of guided tours and activities, while others would rather lounge on a beach or hang out in a cafe.
These clients look for quality and value in everything they do, from the grocery store they shop at to the hotels they choose for their vacations. Value is more important than price in their decisions.
This doesn’t mean they like to waste money, or have unlimited budgets. It’s just that they know the level of experience they want, and they won’t settle for something subpar just because it’s cheaper.
They’re also protective of their valuable time and know when it makes sense to bring in a travel professional who will take time to learn their needs, curate the numerous options and recommend the one that’s a perfect fit for what they are looking for.
They also listen when their travel advisor suggests something they hadn’t considered, and trust their recommendations when making their final decision.
Using a professional travel advisor doesn’t only save them many hours of time doing research and handling bookings, it also gives them access to perks or amenities that aren’t offered to those who book direct.
