What is the true value of using a Travel Manager? Part 2

italktravel Warners Bay are continually monitoring destinations and clients that we have all over the world. When something happens that is going to impact our clients and their plans, if we have time to intervene, we make contact to see if we can offer a potential alternative.

Recently we had clients impacted by the Central European floods, and others by Hurricanes Helene and Milton in Florida. Assistance was provided to them and they have returned safely home, having amazing holidays despite the weather disruptions.

For Glen and Amanda, who were heading to Hungary and Czechia from Tromso in Norway, we were able to reroute their itinerary to travel to other areas that they were interested in. Amsterdam, Naples where they spent the day in Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius and then onto Rome. After Rome they rejoined their original itinerary in Vienna and resumed their travels as planned.

The value of this assistance is priceless and it is here that the care and compassion from italktravel Warners Bay comes to the fore.

Bali. You’ve either been or you definitely know someone who has visited. Bali is probably one of the easiest destinations to jump online and book yourself.
But how many people do you know who have visited this island paradise and said they’d never go back.

Bali is a favourite destination for all of our team at italktravel Warners Bay. One of us is over here at least once a year and I have been holidaying here since I was 18years and it’s now my families first choice for holidays.

Yes you can easily book online and thats ok. But you miss out on all the extra knowledge and advice that comes from having a Travel Professional who visits regularly and is up to date on all the latest Do’s and Dont’s.

Bali is a place where you need advise on the best locations to stay, where to go to see the best sunset in all of Bali. How just wandering down and grabbing a bean bag on the beach and watching the sun go down on another incredible day is on its own, one of our favourite daily rituals when visiting Bali.

From a few nights in the rainforest, looking over the Ayung River and rice fields, some time out on the Island of Nusa Lembongan (a first for me) and then a week of villa life in Legian. It really doesn’t get much better.

Thank you for all the beautiful messages and calls I received today. I have had a very chilled day on the island of Nusa Lembongan. The first time I’ve stayed here and it certainly ticks all the boxes.

Started my day with a stroll and coffee on the beach, whilst waiting for teen daughter to surface. Spent the day exploring the island in our own little golf buggy. Said teen daughter and I couldnt agree on who’d do the driving so I opted to hire a driver as well.

Enjoyed an Aperol Spritz from The Deck Cafe.

Stumbled across a sign with a big letter “K” and the word “spa” under it. Definitely a sign, so I followed the arrow for a 60min destress massage. Did I mention I’ve been in Bali for a week, just me and teen daughter 🥴.

Now settling in for another stunning sunset, some live music and a bintang.

Looking forward to Rick and the boys arriving in tomorrow to join us.

Life at 50 something is pretty good!!

Happy birthday to our amazing Kelly! We hope you have the best day celebrating in Nusa Lembongan. I’m sure you have a cocktail in hand to celebrate your awesomeness.

Cheers to another year of achievements and new milestones 🥂

What is the true value of using a Travel Manager?

Why use a Travel Professional when you can do it all yourself online?
There is a common myth out there that it is more expensive to use a Travel Professional.
We are professionals at what we do and as such we charge planning and management fees like all other professions.
However, paying this fee may just be the best investment you could make.

Clients who recently stayed in Waikiki, Hawaii, opted to save a few dollars on their holiday budget by booking a city view room. Here’s a picture of the view from their room when they checked into the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Hotel.

Travel Professionals have direct contacts with hotel Managers worldwide. We have a better buying power which ultimately saves you money. A simple email to the right person advising them clients of italktravel Warners Bay are on their way and these guys were upgraded from a city view room to a room overlooking Waikiki Beach.

Just one of the many benefits of using a Travel Professional and the team at italktravel Warners Bay.

Happy holidays Pete & Mandy.

Monterosso, one of the five villages of the Cinque Terre. Our home for 3nights of this incredible journey.

Our unique accommodation perched on the hill, with all rooms overlooking the Ligurian Sea and the entire village of Monterosso.

When visiting Italy most have heard of or visited places such as the Amalfi Coast. But nothing compares to the seaside destination of the Cinque Terre. Having both been fortunate to immerse ourselves in the Cinque Terre this season, it won the hearts of both Kylie and Kelly. And we’ve seen some places.

Our hotel staff welcome us with a delectable dinner on their seaside terrace. We also have a degustation dinner with wine pairing at the local family owned Buranco Winery.

Just to name a couple of the unique highlights of Kelly’s personally curated Five Regions Journey.

This is what our clients Anne and Melissa had to say about this years inaugural journey.
