Honeymoon Tip:
Your Travel Consultant Can Be Your Best Friend
By Donna Salerno, CTC, DS, MCC See the Published version A good travel consultant can help you navigate through the choices for your  honeymoon. From romantic island destinations, African safaris or culinary experiences worldwide; your knowledgeable travel pro knows them all. A Certified Travel Consultant is your perfect match. They have years of experience and know the destinations, resorts, sights and what may work best for you. Your travel professional can also match your personality with the correct destination and resort, offering valuable insights on flights, room selection, activities, itineraries, and much more. When plans change, an airline goes on strike, a natural disaster occurs; your travel pro can help before you leave home. If you book your honeymoon with an online discounter, who does not have the resources to offer complete customer care, you will be on your own. With your consultant, you always have an advocate that can help with communications and assistance along the way. Travel Insurance is recommended and a good idea to include. Most policies  cover with trip protection for lost luggage, delayed flights, canceled flights, and cancellation due to medical reasons. Make sure and include this with your honeymoon package, as it provides peace of mind for the unexpected. How about booking directly with the resort or hotel? If you see an advertised honeymoon package for $5,000.00 for example, and contact the resort to book; the potential problem for inexperienced travelers, is they do not know if this resort is a good fit for them. The resort may ask about your likes and dislikes, but would never recommend another resort. When you call a resort they are ready to book their product and offer no other choices. When you call your professional travel consultant, they are ready to take the time to ask questions, get to know you and the experience you want.  Communicating your travel ideas for the honeymoon is helpful. Destinations, sights you want to see, activities that you want to include, are all part of the picture to create your dream honeymoon! There are so many fantastic honeymoon destinations. Depending on the length of your trip and what you want to discover, the world is open. A professional that meets your needs and provides a trip of a lifetime are what you gain, when selecting a travel pro for the job! Time is your ultimate luxury, spend it wisely.
