PEOPLE ARE FLOCKING BACK TO TRAVEL ADVISORS!

Plan your fabulous trip by partnering with a travel advisor is crucial for most travelers in the know who have come collectively to realize these facts. MMGY, for example, is a travel marketing company and confirms that hiring travel advisors has increased in the last several years. As a member of Virtuoso®, the leading experiential luxury travel agency network, many Northstar clients who plan their vacation with NorthStar advisors have admitted that planning their trips with their advisor’s guidance was far superior to organizing it their own. There are many reasons why collaborating with a NorthStar Travel Advisor may prove to be of great benefit:

1. Personalized planning: Are you the do-it-yourself type of traveler who seeks validation, or do your want someone else to take control? When travelers collaborate with a travel advisor, tailored trips will closely suit their interests and budget. Your NorthStar advisor will get to know your preferences and instinctively anticipates your needs and wishes down to the smallest detail.

2. Global expertise and connections: NorthStar Virtuoso® travel advisors have extensive personal knowledge of destinations and products worldwide. They also have relationships with global Virtuoso® partners. These partners help us arrange your very own unique experiences to make your vacation plans exceptional.

3. Value: NorthStar advisors have access to Virtuoso® connections with better pricing that you may find on your own or searching online. Securing special perks, daily breakfast, complimentary room upgrades, and many additional benefits are some examples that you may not receive or find on your hunt. Just consider the $500 per hotel stay you may receive in hotel amenities you’ll receive on a hotel stay may have more value than all your findings, less lost precious time.

4. Convenience: It takes many hours to plan and reserve your own trips. And then, how would you filter out all the information you’ve collected? Time is your most precious resource. Saving your time, plus top-notch service is in your NorthStar travel advisor’s hands.

5. Peace of mind: Relax and have fun! Your NorthStar advisor is available before, during, and after your trips. That is priceless, in addition to saving you time and money! Because you have support during your travels when booking with NorthStar Virtuoso® advisor, particularly when you may need assistance with any last-minute emergencies. Lastly, it is crucial to connect with your advisor, have a follow-up call after your trip, and explore how to enhance individual and group experiences for the next time.

6. VIP treatment: Can you dream the experiences that are waiting for you behind the velvet rope, only with your NorthStar Virtuoso® travel advisor? Let’s be honest – you can’t VIP yourself! However, your NorthStar advisor can secure your exclusive entry to events, private tours, and more.

Mike Kempinski

Advisor since 1981… testimonials
I love my job! I truly enjoy it every day! Luxury Travel is so expansive both emotionally and spiritually. I love investigating the new and old aspects of a destination: what drew people to originally visit and what is the draw now! My newest thrill is scuba diving! It has opened up a whole new world to investigate!

Gina Morovati

Advisor since 1974… testimonials
I’ve been in the travel industry for over 35 years, have traveled to over 100 countries, and sailed on 300 cruises. I particularly enjoy helping clients select the perfect cruise, but my heart belongs to India and Africa. Most recently I visited Paris eating, drinking and taking in all the sights.
