A thrilling holiday of your dreams becoming reality with Luxury Travel Design, a prestigious service to meet the distinctive needs of finicky travellers, where the client and the designer work together to create a rich and unforgettable holiday. Extravagant destinations, exclusive travel services and breathtaking activities of your choice – anything you desire becomes possible with your personal travel designer.
To begin with, you contact the travel designer with the dates you have for your holiday. The travel designer then determines what type of holiday you have in mind: from peaceful, luxurious relaxation to a thrill-seeking adventure. He or she will ask you about your interests and suggest little known places to visit or a special party catering depending on your wishes. The designer takes substantial action by listening, making suggestions, refining your vacation according to your interests and desires. Unlike trying to coordinate everything yourself, your travel designer puts together a travel package for a smooth, pleasant and personalised vacation. The travel designer takes care of all your transportation during your visit, finding a suitable vehicle and a driver or even arranging a helicopter transportation to those secret and difficult to reach places. As a destination specialist, the travel designer knows the locality, the hidden spots, the best restaurants and cuisines suited to satisfy your palate, quiet places and places where to find adventure. He or she coordinates a personalised holiday according to all of the individual requests, making sure that none of the organisational routines spoils the client’s dream holiday. The travel designer has multiple contacts with hotels, experienced licensed guides, fashionable restaurants and catering businesses, which enables him or her to find the best solutions.
For example, recently one of our clients contacted us to arrange a stay in Greece. Communication began with a series of emails and video calls to discuss all the details for the trip. The traveler already had some ideas of his own, which we readily fulfilled: a specific luxurious hotel, a historic tour of monuments and a personal interest tour of Byzantine history. In addition, he wanted a family heritage celebration with relatives involving a 40-person catered lunch a few hours’ drive away from Athens with all the travel arrangements.
When the basics of the vacation were set in place, we made suggestions based on understanding the client’s tastes and preferences:
- A professional driver pick up and drop off at the airport
- A luxurious sedan including GPS and insurance for all family members.
- A helicopter ride, secluded beach, and lunch by the sea on the island of Hydra.
- A surprise private concert for the family.
- An Ancient Greek meal, refreshments and Byzantine coffee served by waiters dressed in traditional Greek clothing.
Without the hassle of research, booking, reservations, finding the best options or communication problems, the client and his family enjoyed a fantastic six-day programme in Athens, planned and executed by their travel designer.
Choosing a luxury travel designer can sometimes be a little tricky, so there are a few things to keep in mind when looking for a person to arrange your perfect vacation. A skilled travel designer must have vast experience with your travel destination. Every time a professional travel designer is out and about, he or she is scouting for potential pleasure delivery to his clients. He stays on top of what is new and makes sure that services he used in the past still meet the quality requirements of his distinctive clients.
The main three qualities in a prospective travel designer are:
- Knowledge of your destination
- Responsive listening skills
- The ability to match your dreams and desires with appropriate suggestions
Once you select your personal travel designer, you can start looking forward to a luxurious holiday rich with delights and full of magnificent attention to detail, personal lifestyle fulfillment, and memories to last a lifetime.
