Think of a travel concierge or advisor as your personal travel project manager — they handle the research, planning, and arrangements so you can just enjoy the trip.

What a Travel Concierge/Advisor Handles for You

• Destination Guidance – Suggests locations that match your budget, interests, and travel style.
• Custom Itinerary Planning – Designs a day-by-day plan with activities, tours, and free time tailored to you.
• Flight & Hotel Bookings – Finds the best-value or most convenient options, often with perks (upgrades, breakfast, credits).
• Cruise & All-Inclusive Resort Bookings – Helps you choose the right property or cruise line for your needs.
• Transportation Coordination – Arranges airport transfers, car rentals, trains, or ferries.
• Tour & Activity Reservations – Books guided tours, excursions, dining experiences, spa appointments, etc.
• Special Requests – Handles anniversary surprises, room requests, accessibility accommodations, or dietary needs.
• Travel Insurance Guidance – Explains coverage options and helps you purchase the right plan.
• Destination Knowledge & Insider Tips – Shares local recommendations, safety info, and cultural etiquette.
• Problem-Solving During Travel – Acts as your go-to contact if there are delays, cancellations, or booking issues.
• Group & Family Coordination – Manages multiple travelers’ needs, payments, and schedules.

What You Still Do Yourself

Even with a travel advisor, some tasks remain under your control (and some travelers prefer it this way):

• Choosing the Final Option – Your advisor gives recommendations, but you make the final call.
• Packing – You decide what to bring and actually pack your bags.
• Required Travel Documents – Applying for or renewing passports, securing visas, and carrying IDs.
• Vaccinations/Medical Prep – Booking your own doctor’s appointments or required shots.
• Personal Purchases – Buying travel gear, clothes, or personal items for your trip.
• Budget Approval – Approving how much you’re comfortable spending before bookings are confirmed.
• On-the-Ground Choices – Deciding to sleep in, shop, or explore on your own instead of following a planned activity.
• Following Rules & Guidelines – Complying with entry requirements, customs laws, and local regulations.
