Today is National Travel Advisor Day and we are proud to be part of this incredible industry!
A special thank you to all our loyal customers for entrusting us to plan their memorable vacations! Now is the time to plan and book your next vacation!
Expressing My Gratitude
As we look around our village and surrounding area, we see other small businesses that weren't as fortunate. Many will never return.
Many of you had trips booked last year and had those plans put on hold. You've taken Future Cruise Credits, or expressed your intentions to rebook when travel resumes, allowing me to continue providing you with my expert advice to plan your memorable trip. Our trips too, including our National Conference, have been rescheduled.
We have fantastic travel partners that we work with that have also stood by us during the pandemic and provided us with timely updates and tools so that we could properly guide you in your planning.
Just today, we attended the 55th webinar with Royal Caribbean, who also expressed their gratitude for our loyalty, and expressed the reasons why they see the Travel Advisors as a critical component to their successfully resuming operations.
Both Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises have announced resumption of operations starting in June and July with some sailings hopefully beginning out of U.S. ports by July.
Keeping passengers, crew, and destinations safe is critical to the resumption and continuing operations.
As your Travel Advisor, we will have the answers, or be able to get them for you, that will allow you to book a vacation with confidence. This is not the time you want to be going it alone. Besides, we'll have access to special deals not available to the general public.
Other cruise lines are also making announcements as they work out details with the CDC. Our job is to stay on top of all these changes, and provide you with details about requirements and documents for the cruise lines as well as the destinations visited. These requirements are very fluid, requiring that we constantly monitor the situation.
Our Ask to You
We were there for our clients when the pandemic shut the world down. We are very optimistic that the travel industry recovery has begun. At the same time, health and safety of our guests remains our number one priority, and if we wouldn't feel safe ourselves, we will tell you.
Our services are provided to you free of charge - our travel partners pay us a commission when you travel. So we have a favor to ask of you...
Please consult with us when your thoughts turn to resuming travel. We can help with cruises, land trips, resort stays, etc. We'll help you find the perfect vacation for your current situation, explain all the necessary steps before, during, and after your trip, and answer all questions you may have.
Also, when you hear friends, family, and co-workers considering a trip - please share our contact information with them, and encourage them to use a travel advisor. Finally, we will recommend travel insurance be taken on any trip, so include that in your budgets. Some destinations will require their own insurance as well, which we will advise you on as needed.
