A question that I often hear is, “How do I figure out what to charge for my retreat?”

Simple enough in many ways but a VERY layered question when you get into it. Of course there are the base numbers: expenses divided by the number of people. But many people miss lots of the little leaky expenses and get this wrong - I digress. Plus the value of your leadership/coaching/transformation: meaning the income you desire for your time and expertise.

I created a little resource called the Retreat Profit Calculator which you can find at 👉 https://www.floyotravel.com/retreat-calculator

Check it out and let’s talk about your numbers!

Now that 2024 is ramping up people are solidfying their travel plans... but have you started seeing any potential snarls to your travel plans? I call these planning gremlins-You first have this idea for an event or retreat and they are like cute little Mogwai Gizmos smiling and happy. Then then closer you get ---looking at those plans become like feeding these gremlins after midnight. You are not alone! As a concierge travel specialist my goal is to keep those gremlins at bay and provide you with a worry free process from start to finish. I’d love to chat with you and see how we can keep the planning gremlins at bay.

How to tell if you have mastered the art of the retreat:

✅You have been doing retreats for sometime and have the content and delivery down.

✅You have an easily repeatable process that creates a successful event regardless of location.

✅You have a core community that loves to come together that is bringing in new leads and returning clients.

✅You are making $20K+ profit per retreat.

✅You just have to show up and be in leadership because your team has all the details planned out for you.

But never fear if you can't hit all these checkmarks. Let's talk! You can schedule your Impact Retreat Strategy session 👉https://calendly.com/amy_floyo/retreat-review-intensive?month=2024-03

Is this you?

🧳Retreats have been on your 'goal board' for years.* You know what you want but don't know where to start.

What are the top two things that stop you as a small business entrepreneur from taking action and setting up your travel plans?

I remember taking a survey and asking this very question--the results were a little surprising.

Like your perfect sidekick, I can help demystify the process and get the perfect retreat, event, or vacation all planned out to where all you have to do is pack your bags and enjoy. It's all handled from the word departure. Message me to find out how I can streamline your travel dreams.

Cutting through the noise: Cyber Monday Cruise review.
This list by TravelPulse is a great overview of what is available this week for cruise promos.
BUT buyer beware - many are offering free airfare. DO NOT do the airfare directly through your cruise line. For those who have, they know - I have had too many clients burned on "free air".
And know which cruise line is the best fit for the type of experience you want. They all have different personalities, just like you!
Have you used free airfare from a cruise line? Have you been on a cruise that wasn't a "fit" for your personality? What is your favorite cruise? SHARE YOUR CRUISE STORIES BELOW!

This commercial holiday might have you saying 'Bon Voyage!'

You may know that airlines offer vouchers and credits when they need to bump passengers. And getting passengers to volunteer to take those deals instead of the reimbursement required by regulation saves the airline a TON of money.

The United States Department of Transportation’s website outlines how much travelers are entitled to for oversold flights. (https://www.transportation.gov/individuals/aviation-consumer-protection/flight-delays-cancellations )

Quick summary:
- Remember these values are when the cause of a cancellation or delay was due to circumstances within the airline’s control. Like overselling seats not weather and such.
- Airlines must pay 200 percent of the value of a one-way ticket (up to $775) if the passenger arrives between 1-2 hours past the scheduled landing time.
- For domestic flights delayed by longer than two hours, impacted travelers are entitled to 400 percent of the one-way ticket price (up to $1,550).
- Delays on international flights have the same compensation structure, but the window is up to four hours for 200 percent and more than four hours for 400 percent.

Hopefully, all your flights go off without a hitch. But it's good to know there are resources available with a quick look on google to know what you are entitled to.
