Who and what are travel designers? Are they like travel agents?
Travel agents can book you a trip to anywhere in the world. Travel designers specialise in the city, region or country they are from. They only plan trips to the places they know, the places they call home.
Travel designers are also guides, although they don’t have time to guide every trip. By organising and operating trips they develop unrivaled on-the-ground expertise, including transfers, accommodation, activities and fresh travel ideas.
They use local knowledge and local connections to create something memorable and unique for every visitor. If you can dream it you can probably do it, but there will only be a few people in the world who can make it happen for you.
Travel agents and booking sites promote the bestselling products. Travel designers provide a personalised service that makes your travel more local, sustainable and memorable.
