PUBLISHER’S LETTER
A Seasoned Traveler
When I think of taking a vacation, I always think about it based on
seasons. I am not one of these people who needs to go skiing in
the summer, although I will admit to thinking about running off
to the beach in the winter. But that’s just me.
I asked several different people about where they go (or want
to go) during different seasons, and—not surprisingly—they all came back with different
answers.
This is significant, because one of the keys to closing your sales is to understand the
buying habits of the traveler. You need to know when they want to go, and you need
to remember that not everyone thinks
the same way. I travel to Vail twice a year,
once in the winter and then again in the
summer. And if you ask me which I liked
better, I would pick the winter ski season
as my preferred time of year. But then, as
I continue to discover Vail as a summer
destination, I am starting to think I prefer
Vail in the summer.
Here is a photo on my 4x4 journey to
the top of Vail Mountain. In March, I was
on the same peak, but my mode of transportation
was a ski lift. So, as your clients
discover and expand their inspirations for
travel, you, as their trusted travel advisor,
must stay in touch as well. Keep asking
questions, and encourage your clients to
discover a new way of seeing a favorite
haunt. Ski destinations can be beautiful in
summer, and beaches—quiet and peaceful
without all the tourists—can be surprisingly
serene in winter.
At Luxury Travel Advisor, we continue
to discover destinations and inspire you,
so that you can inspire your clients as well.
