Practical Advice from Experienced Travel Advisors
Travel advisors have loads of experience customizing dream-fulfilling travel packages around their clients ’ preferences and desires . Thousands of details go into every trip , and trying to handle all that on your own on top of planning your wedding can be exhausting . That ’ s why it pays to work with an experienced advisor who can help you not only find a great deal and make your reservations , but also become a trusted ally . You may just start another relationship that lasts the rest of your life . Here are a few words of wisdom for your big event .
Know What “ All-Inclusive ” Means
Clients booking their own stay at an all-in resort may be surprised to find that gratuities , specialty drinks and certain restaurants cost extra . But agencies tend to book their clients at resorts they ’ ve toured extensively and where they ’ ve spent personal vacation time , so they know exactly what ’ s included and what ’ s not . And since they ’ ve worked with these resorts before , they can sometimes secure bonus gifts or complimentary amenities that make your stay exceed expectations .
Ocean View Means Looking Between Two Tall Buildings
Oceanfront and ocean view are not interchangeable terms . The travel industry is filled with odd terminology and specialized lingo that can be confusing to some . An experienced advisor knows exactly what you ’ ll get in each room category . They ’ re always going to have more tips , tricks and connections at locations they ’ ve visited and booked frequently .
Select Wedding Guests for VIP Treatment
As much as you love all your guests , your parents and besties should still get preferential treatment . Give your travel advisor your VIP list so that they can secure room upgrades , book special dinners or send in-room gifts .
