During this consultation, we will work together to craft a personalized itinerary tailored to your desires. Whether you have a clear vision of your ideal trip or need some inspiration, we are here to assist you in creating the perfect getaway.
Once the scope has been defined and the professional service charge has been taken care of, we will begin curating and preparing your customized itinerary.
This process entails a close collaboration between the Vip Luxury Travel Advisor team and our esteemed global destination partners. Our team will handle the research, booking, and management of your itinerary, providing you with 24/7 access to our staff during your trip. For more information, please refer to the Professional Services Charge section.
Our goal is to create a unique and unforgettable travel experience tailored specifically to your preferences and desires. Let us take care of the details so you can relax and enjoy your journey.

Since the inception of VIP Luxury Travel Advisor, we have operated solely on a vendor commission basis.
For those who may be unfamiliar, travel agencies do not receive compensation in the form of a commission until after a client has completed their trip.
This means that we do not receive compensation for trips that are cancelled by suppliers or guests, even though we have meticulously crafted itineraries and provided professional services and expertise in planning.
While VIP Luxury Travel Advisor does have a cancellation policy in place, we have never found it necessary to enforce it. However, the landscape of travel was drastically altered
in 2020 due to the impact of Covid-19.
Over the past 20 months, I have diligently represented my clients by engaging in negotiations with suppliers and tour operators to facilitate the refund of deposits. Our agency has been instrumental in assisting clients in obtaining or securing future cruise or airline credits when applicable. In numerous cases, we have rescheduled our guests three or more times to accommodate their changing plans.
In addition to these efforts, our services have extended to researching new travel options and uncovering amazing opportunities for future trips. Despite our invaluable contributions to our clients' travel experiences, we have not sought compensation for our services.
Throughout this challenging period, we have remained committed to providing exceptional support and guidance to our clients, ensuring that their travel needs are met with professionalism and care.
We are grateful for the clients who have made future travel plans, but this has left our staff with only the promise of future commission earnings. This has greatly diminished the value of our early and collective efforts.
Our agency specializes in providing VIP travel experiences and services to our clients, ensuring a seamless journey from the initial planning stages to your safe return home. With over 26 years of experience and expertise, we take pride in offering top-notch service.
The incorporation of a professional service charge is essential for maintaining the sustainability of our livelihood and ensuring the solvency of our agency. We value your business and are committed to meeting your needs with the utmost care and attention.
We are grateful for your trust in us as clients and look forward to serving you in the future.
