5 GUARANTEED WAYS TO A SUCCESSFUL VACATION

|

6-20-13a

When you meet with your travel professional, the best way to have a guaranteed successful vacation is by following these 5 steps.

1.            Be clear about the kind of vacation you want.  If you are interested in taking your children and grandchildren on an African safari, you will need to communicate where you want to go, when you want to leave, and who will be traveling.  It is important to have everyone’s full name and birth date, in order to know if they qualify for any travel discounts.  If there are any mobility or dietary restrictions, these should also be mentioned.

2.            Be informative about the kind of vacations you enjoy.  Share details of your previous successful trips and explain why they were so enjoyable.  Tell what the highlights were for everyone traveling and also what they did not like.  Your travel planner can then tailor your vacation for your specific preferences.

3.            Have each family member describe what the most important thing is for them on this trip and what would make  it their ideal vacation.  With a road map of everyone’s wish list, it is possible to design an itinerary that will combine special details to make each traveler happy and part of the planning process.  When the whole family is included in the selection and planning for the trip, their anticipation and enthusiasm will be greatly enhanced.

5.            Plan a reasonable schedule with something for everyone and time to relax and enjoy the moment.  It is easy to get caught up in scheduling something for every part of the day.  After all, you want to get the most out of your holiday.  However, with a customized itinerary, you are able to pace yourselves better, while still including all of the truly important activities.  Remember you want to return home relaxed and rested instead of more exhausted than when you left.

Your travel professional is trained to help you get the most out of your time and budget, while removing all of the time-consuming stress of research and planning.  In many cases, you can provide your trip details online and then schedule a 20 minute complimentary one-on-one phone consultation with the travel planner to discuss all aspects of your trip.

Be sure to share all of the information that will enable her/him to do their best work for you.  The memories will be priceless!
