POV: Building a great relationship with a Travel Designer is an essential part of planning the perfect holiday.
Normally at this point I would tell you about the many benefits that we bring, the first hand knowledge of all our destinations; the relationships with our partners that give you unchartered access to many experiences; or those little enhancements we can make that you haven’t thought of.
But with todays global IT outage I know that many of our clients are really happy that we are taking their stress away with flight delays and cancellations.
⭐️ We are liaising with airlines and updating our clients
⭐️ We are sorting hotel rooms for those people in destination that can’t travel today
⭐️ We are working with our transport partners to change transfer times and make sure everyone arrives at the airport on time
⭐️ We are making sure that our clients are being well looked after
We might save you the time and stress of researching and planning your own trip but we are also there when things don’t go according to plan.
If this sounds good we would love to help you with your next holiday. Get in touch any time
