What Travel Advisors Actually Do (And Why You Should Hire One)

By Alexia Scott • June 9, 2025
Raise your hand if you've ever Googled something like "best all-inclusive resort for couples in Mexico" and ended up drowning in 47 open tabs, a TikTok rabbit hole, and a stress headache! (I know I have) Yep, I've been there. But here's the thing: you don't have to do that; it's literally what I - your favorite travel advisor - am here for! As a professional travel advisor, I help people plan, book, and actually enjoy their vacations without the stress, guesswork, or the "what's the vibe" energy. Let's break it down: So... What do travel advisors do? Way more than most people think. Here's just a peek at what I handle for my clients: Research & Planning: I don't just Google. I tap into a network of travel pros, vetted suppliers, and insider info you won't find on a booking engine. You get curated options based on you, not the algorithm. Exclusive Access: I partner with trusted travel suppliers (some of which you may have heard of, others not so much but will soon be obsessed with - I promise) to score upgrades, perks, and promos you won't find on those wholesale websites like Kayak, Booking.com... (you know - the ones companies call "third parties"). Booking & Coordination: Flights? Transfers? Dinner Reservations? Theme park tickets? Excursions? I've got it. Everything is streamlined, confirmed, and wrapped in a succinct itinerary. Support Before, During, & After Travel: Something goes sideways at the airport? Your resort can't find your reservation? I'm a real human you can call or message. Try doing that with an AI Chatbot. Personal Touch: I get to know your travel style, your deal-breakers and deal-makers, and your "no way's." It's like having a travel bestie who actually does this for a living. (I do!) But Can't I Just Book It Myself? Sure, you can . Just like you can cut your own bangs. But just because you can doesn't mean you should. Here's what most DIY travel bookers don't see coming: Hidden resort fees Outdated TikTok recommendations Rooms that "looked cute" online, but feel like prison in person Missed opportunities for upgrades or experiences because no one told you they even existed When you work with a travel advisor, you're not just booking a trip... you're booking peace of mind . Does it cost more to hire a travel advisor? Not usually! In fact, I often help my clients save money by finding better value, better timing, and better promotions than they'd find alone. In several cases, my planning services are built into the cost of your trip. That means you get expert help without paying extra. And if a fee does apply? I'll tell you up front. No hidden charges, no games. Who should hire a travel advisor? You! Especially if you're: a busy professional who doesn't have time to plan; couples planning honeymoons, anniversaries, babymoons, or a "just because" trip; family needing a vacation that actually feels like a vacation; anyone wanting to level-up from basic travel to "wow, that was unforgettable!" Final Word? If you're looking for a smooth, curated, stress-free travel experience with someone in your corner from day one to wheels up, you want a travel advisor. And I'd love to be your go-to gal.
