Nope! I have access to the same rates you do. One of the main benefits of booking with a travel advisor is that I have access to perks that are only available to travel advisors, which means you can get added bonuses to your stay at no additional cost.
Absolutely. We all have a budget, whether big or small. I will share a variety of options within your budget to let you get an idea of what you can afford, and then we go from there. Your trip doesn’t have to be opulent in order to use a travel advisor! I will take a moment to note that lower priced hotels are less likely to offer perks (as they often don’t have the bandwidth to provide them).
A couple of the perks I’m frequently able to connect my clients with are “upon availability”. That means that if a hotel has an empty room available in the category above the one you booked, they’ll upgrade you (for free). Same goes for things like early check-in/late check-out. As long as the hotel has the space, you get the perk.
100% yes! Because of my partnership with FORA, I have access to a massive network of fellow travel advisors who can answer any questions I, or we, might have. I have also taken trainings on countless destinations worldwide.
