WORDS / JENNA BUEGE
Summer is a prime time for adventure . Long hot days and warm starry nights evoke a special kind of magic , their presence a much-welcomed change from the oppressive darkness and chill just months before . Excitement stirs as children play in neighborhoods and vitamin D-filled spots like parkways and beaches reign supreme as couples , families and friends flock to celebrate long weekends and sun-soaked days .
But through it all — and to travel advisors ’ delight — there ’ s one big thing on everyone ’ s mind : the great summer getaway . Where will travelers spend their finite , precious supply of solstitial days ? Luckily , savvy travelers have a secret weapon that they can utilize : you , the travel advisor . With a behind-the-scenes understanding of the inner workings of the industry and the destinations and suppliers within it , advisors are a powerful resource when planning the ultimate summer vacation .
To stop this seasonal dilemma in its tracks , and to help you book more summer travel , we ’ ve asked two advisors about their favorite summertime destinations , and for their advice on how to help travelers make the most of their limited PTO .
