Why I Charge a Planning Fee
Planning the perfect trip goes far beyond booking flights and hotels—it’s about crafting a seamless, highly personalized experience tailored to your travel style, preferences, and budget. As a professional travel advisor, I bring industry expertise, exclusive connections, and meticulous attention to detail, delivering custom itineraries that far exceed what’s available through a simple online search.
Why Work With a Fee-Based Travel Advisor?
Think about it—your hairstylist, accountant, or attorney doesn’t work for free because their expertise is valuable. The same applies to professional travel planning. My planning fee reflects the high level of service and value I provide, covering:
🎌 Bespoke Itinerary Design – In-depth research and planning, delivered through an intuitive website and mobile app for seamless access on the go.
🏯 Exclusive Recommendations & VIP Perks – Insider access, industry-only upgrades, and curated experiences.
🍣 24/7 Personal Support While You Travel – Direct access to me—not a call center—ensuring a smooth journey.
🚅 Agency-Exclusive Discounts & Benefits – Preferential pricing, added amenities, and elite status perks through my trusted travel network.
By charging a planning fee, I prioritize your best interests—not the easiest bookings or the highest commissions. You receive unbiased advice, unparalleled service, and a truly tailored experience designed around what’s best for you.
How My Planning Fee Works
Every trip is unique, and my fees reflect the level of planning and support required. During our initial consultation, I’ll assess factors such as trip length, destinations, number of travelers, and your travel style to determine the best planning tier for your needs.
Is There Ever an Exception?
Absolutely! I believe in transparency and flexibility, and my goal is always to do what’s best for my clients. If you have questions or concerns, let’s discuss them during our consultation—I’m always happy to accommodate when possible.
