How to best use a travel consultant

 

The more your consultant knows about you, the better they will be able to pull together the best options and provide you with a perfect trip. Talk to an consultant and be sure to share your:

Interests – Share your interests, such as scuba diving, art or unique foods with your travel consultant, and ask your consultant to combine those interests into your trip.

Budget – It’s a travel consultant's job to keep within your budget. Provide them with a figure and they will work to stretch your travel dollars.

Travel preferences – If you favor a certain airline or hotel, or prefer nonstop flights, be sure to tell your consultant so they can arrange your trip to meet your preferences.

Schedule – Let your consultant know your preferred dates of travel. Also let them know how to contact you while traveling in the event they need to relay important information.

Travel companions’ needs – Inform your consultant if your travel companion requires special accommodation, such as in-flight meal preferences or making arrangements for someone with a disability.
