Guiding Lights

By Jonathan Hermann, Contributor for the Travel Leaders Blog

COVID has proved that travel advisors are here to stay. From travel insurance to restrictions, insider info and even VIP perks, our vacations are better when we use a travel advisor.

The world of travel has changed. In times past, we simply cast our hearts upon a specific destination or experience — such as relaxing in Hawaii or visiting Machu Picchu — and then planned the vacation around that target of wanderlust. But now, more factors must be considered.

For now, we also must think about how we travel — how to safely arrive, health tips at the destinations, COVID policies going to and coming home, cancellation policies and insurance plans — that’s where we come in. Travel advisors are here to help you navigate the process and explore your vacation options. Read on to discover all of the ways travel advisors help you travel confidently, responsibly and safely, wherever and whenever you choose to journey.

WE HELP YOU MAKE THE MOST OF FUTURE CRUISE OR TOUR CREDITS

With travel on pause for many cruise lines and operators in 2020, they gave travelers' future credits to use. Travel advisors can provide you with all the options you have for those credits, help you use them before they expire and then provide additional amenities or savings on top of it all.

WE HELP YOU UNDERSTAND CANCELLATION AND INSURANCE POLICIES

With cruise lines and tour operators providing flexible cancellation policies, we can help explain the ins and outs to find the trip that suits your needs. Additionally, travel insurance has always been an important part of your trip planning and should always be discussed with our knowledgeable advisors.
