small business - wide reach

It’s that time of year, again — Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday — the economy wants you to spend money right now!

As a small travel business during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, we’re especially thankful for Small Business Saturday. Our clients find value in working with a travel agency that takes the time to understand what they want from a travel experience, and then matches them up with the best options, given their time frame, priorities, and budget.

But even though we’re a small business, we’re not limited in what we can do for our clients. Our advisors are scattered across the country — in New York, Texas, Florida and California. And our clients live everywhere and anywhere. And our supplier partners are all around the world.

Because of our reach and our relationships, we can access the best Black Friday promotions from all of the cruise lines, tour operators, hotels, and resorts in our preferred supplier portfolio. We can also stack those promotions with exclusive savings and amenities through our relationships in the industry. So, when you book that hotel stay with us, you’ll not only get the best available rate, you may also get access to an exclusive 4th Night Free promo, as well as early check-in, food and beverage credits, room upgrades, and more.

And even though we’re small, we’ve got clout. We were named Uniglobe’s Agency of the Year in 2022, recognizing our phenomenal success in 2021, when most of the industry had still not recovered from the pandemic shut-down. We’re part of Virtuoso, the leading global luxury travel consortium. We’re also a Hyatt Privé agency, an invitation-only program that places us in the top tier of Hyatt’s agency partners. And this year, we’ve been invited to ILTM Cannes — the leading luxury travel marketplace, where we’ll meet with the world’s best hoteliers, tour operators and luxury cruise lines, to further cement our relationships with those suppliers, and to grow our profile as a leading luxury travel agency.

And yet, we’re still a small business. There are only six advisors on our team, and we all pride ourselves on the bespoke travel arrangements and high-touch service we provide. So this year, think of it as Small but Mighty Business Saturday, and think about getting a jump start on your 2024 travels by reaching out to us. We’d love to plan your next great adventure!
