EDITOR ’ S NOTE
After nearly 19 years in this industry ,
daydreaming about future travels remains one of my favorite things to do . I ’ m one of the many people who rely on you to help me make those dreams a reality .

Those dreams may be bigger or have different motivations now . Maybe your client has saved up a larger budget from not traveling , perhaps they feel like they need to go big to make up for lost time or maybe they ’ re traveling with more of their friends and family . Whatever the motivation , many travelers are ready for something a little extra to make the most of their vacation .
