A Travel Advisor’s Little Black Book

Do you want to get access to the top shows at Fashion Week, coveted Derby boxes, see elite athletes at the Games, attend Royal Occasions, Formula 1, Venice Carnival Grand Ball, or meet with nobility? A little-known secret: a luxury travel advisor can make it happen.

If you find the right travel advisor, doors will be opened for you. And, it’s not just events. Travel advisors have established deep networks from the GM at five-star hotels globally to private access hospitality that will rival C-Suite CEOs and tech moguls. It does come with a price, however, the white-glove service and access command it. Top brands like Rosewood, Belmond, Dorchester, Oetker, and other elite hotel brands have stronger partnerships with elite agents that far exceed any perks from other channels.

Why Would Someone Work with a Travel Advisor?

You don’t frequently hear about these elite advisors, because they don’t need the press and not just anyone can work with them. Their network speaks for itself and plenty of people are buying into getting the VIP status. Travel advisors are thriving because post-pandemic the pendulum has swung back to valuing high-level service and experiences. Plenty of people don’t have the time to bother with travel hacking and figuring out how to optimize points. Why DIY when you can have an expert value your time and travel investment for you?

Personalization

After a travel advisor has secured the VIP access or tickets, we start customizing your trip and planning special experiences for you. Securing Michelin-star dining reservations, private air travel or even outfitting you with the perfect, show-stopping gown for the Venice Ball. Personalization is the white-glove service where people aren’t afraid to pay the price tag because it elevates the experience of the whole trip. Advisors work with hotelier partners to pull out all the stops on welcome amenities, celebratory memorabilia in the rooms, romantic massages for honeymooners, and much more.

Yacht Travel

Yacht travel is on the rise for discerning travelers looking for a more personalized and elite experience, from custom itineraries to island-hopping activities, dining, and service. An advisor like myself can access fleets of yachts varying in cabins and size.

If you’re not doing a private yacht, there is an incredible range of options making waves like the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Four Seasons (in 2025), Ponant, Emerald Cruises, and others that come in a more approachable yacht-lifestyle price.

There are many ways to travel and incredible opportunities out there. A travel advisor can open your world and provide access in ways you haven’t had before. They can also take your wish list and desires then narrow it down and give the trip focus in the best way possible.

Don’t leave your trip to chance and level up your travel. Why wouldn’t you work with a travel advisor?
