We keep talking about being travel planners but,
“Travel planner karta kya hai?”
This is a question we get asked frequently and this blog is the answer!
Over the years, the world has evolved to see new technology and services come to the limelight. The same thing happened with travel! Travel services these days have branched out to provide better alternatives to everyone.
Trip planning is one of them. You may be wondering how it makes us different from travel agents. See the thing is, travel curators have evolved from travel agents. Here’s what planners do:
1. Research
Planning for any kind of a trip requires a lot of patience and tons of research- two things travel planners are great at. We spend months finding everything there is about various locations!
Not just that, but we also help you make the best choices regarding the travel arrangements.
Our research goes beyond just ordinary “Google search” skills- it’s more in-depth. Personal experience is also a major source of information. Travel designers like us choose to visit various resorts and restaurants to make sure we are giving you informed and well-sourced recommendations!
2. Recommendations
Trip designers give you advice related to your chosen destination, from weather conditions, local customs, and attractions to important documents and currency exchange rates. In other words, they act as consultants- helping you decide what you want to do on your trip.
3. Collaborate with you
Yeah, we do have all of this experience and information but we can’t use them without your help! If we are going to plan a trip for you then we have to get to know you. Travel designers work with and for you; they keep in touch with you through calls and emails to give you updates regarding your trip details.
Why collaborate you ask? Well, it’s like matchmaking! They want to find the best travel activities match for you by trying to understand what your needs and wants are.
Suppose you have certain allergies or don’t like eating certain foods. Travel consultants suggest places according to your tastes (pun intended). Depending on whether you want to go on a relaxing trip or an adventure, we filter down activities to make the best itinerary for you! This brings us to the next thing travel planners do!
4. Plan a unique trip
Travel planners help those who want to go against the grain. If you want a travel experience like no other, a travel planner is who you should go to! This is especially true if you like going on adventures, cultural activities, sightseeing, outdoor activities etc. It’s not the trip that they plan; it’s the experience.
Trip designers don’t plan for tourists- they plan for travellers. Out of the box trip or vacation plans are what make them so special in the travel industry. Based on factors like the duration of the trip, the dates the trip will take place on, the number of people, ages of travellers (and children if any), your preferences etc, they concoct the perfect itinerary for you!
5. Stick with you till the end Just planning your trip isn’t all- travel planners will stay in touch with you during your trip as well! Irrespective of the problems you face or changes you may need to make to your itinerary, a travel planner will accommodate all of your needs. We will go the extra mile for you, making sure you feel comfortable throughout the entire process!
So who are travel planners? We are people who make your entire travel experience fun without you having to lift a finger!
