Your Travel Concierge
Your Travel Concierge
The word“ concierge” comes from the French in the 1600s for, essentially, a medieval palace caretaker. This individual played a pivotal role— it was a royal appointment after all— managing the keys, candles and guards for high officials. And while their roles shifted throughout the centuries depending on the locale and the residence, they always stayed focused on three core areas: responsibility, security and access.
As your travel concierge, a travel advisor stays focused on the same points. They are responsible for every facet of your journey, from your flights, connections and airport transfers to your hotel rooms, cruise reservations and tour guides. If anything goes wrong— a delayed flight or downgraded hotel room, for instance— your travel advisor immediately steps up to handle the situation.
They ensure that each portion of your journey is safe and secure. This encompasses both your physical safety— keeping you out of harm’ s way of potential weather problems, areas of civil unrest and emerging medical situations— as well as keeping your payments secure across multiple vendors. This gives you the freedom of traveling to parts of the world tentative travelers would shy away from. When your travel advisor sets you up with trusted guides and other resources, you feel emboldened to discover more inspiring, off-the-beatenpath destinations. And isn’ t that what the soul of travel is all about?
As for access, your travel advisor, like the concierge of old, still manages all the keys. They provide you with access to VIP perks and upgrades, exclusive cultural and luxury experiences, and inventory you cannot purchase on your own, as well as information and insights that could make or break a vacation. In the travel industry, that’ s called“ added value,” as in, you enjoy all those benefits for free just for using a professional travel advisor.
When you consider all these advantages, it’ s clear: the only way to truly experience a luxurious vacation is with a travel advisor on your side. Better than Egyptian cotton sheets and Hermes bath products, better than sipping Champagne in first class, your travel advisor gives you the ultimate luxury of traveling with complete peace of mind.
