5 reasons why a travel advisor is a busy parent’s best friend

Rosewood Phuket

As a mom of a two year old, the thought of planning a vacation is both exhilarating and exhausting! I want my son to grow up exploring the world, but when I think about all of the steps that go into it, I quickly realize that I’m too tired to plan my own family vacation, because I’m busy helping other parents and grandparents plan theirs!

While it may seem like a downside to being a travel advisor, it’s actually one of the reasons that I got into this industry. My biggest accomplishment is when I hear from a client that the trip that I played a small part in had a major impact on them and their family.

I understand firsthand that with the pace and pressure of everyday life as a parent, planning a family vacation can seem overwhelming. Especially when you consider the number of options available, the preferences and needs of your partner and kids, and the desire to make the trip a truly enjoyable and memorable experience for the whole family.

This is where a travel advisor with in-depth knowledge of the family-friendly options available and preferred partners across the globe can step in to take the stress out of planning. At Perspectives Travel our goal is to provide you with a seamless, enjoyable trip planning process that saves you time and mental energy, and produces a highly curated experience for the entire family with elevated experiences and unique travel perks.

Read on for 5 ways that Perspectives Travel can be your secret weapon to taking the stress out of travel planning and giving your loved ones the vacation of their dreams:

1. Time Saver

Busy parents don’t have time to compare dozens of hotels, sift through reviews, or piece together logistics. Through our seamless process, we do all the legwork on your behalf, consult our partners across the industry, and present you with only the best, family-appropriate options, customized to your family’s needs.

2. Industry Knowledge & Expertise

We know which destinations and properties are truly kid-friendly, which airlines and flights are least likely to create travel challenges, and what local quirks to expect upon arrival. Leverage our knowledge and expertise to ensure your family vacation goes as smoothly as possible, even with toddlers or teens in tow.

3. Family-Centric Planning Process

We understand that each member of a family has unique needs and preferences for a trip and that some destinations and properties are better suited to meet them than others. Maybe you need a private transfer from the airport with car seats, connecting rooms or a suite at your hotel, or a kids’ club or babysitter for the little ones. When planning family trips, we take all of these specific needs into account, leverage our knowledge and industry partnerships to match you with the best options, and book everything on your behalf, so that the entire process is seamless and stress-free. You just have to get the family to the airport, grab a mimosa (or your drink of choice), and “activate vacation mode!”.

4. Travel Perks, Hotel Amenities, and VIP Service

Through our network of preferred partners, Perspectives Travel provides its clients exclusive hotel amenities, travel perks, and VIP services at the best properties across the globe. These complimentary benefits include things like:

  • Daily breakfast

  • Priority room upgrades

  • Exclusive access to events and activities

When working with Perspectives Travel, you have a true travel advocate to ensure your trip runs as smoothly as possible and that our partners across the industry provide the kind of service you expect.
