WHY YOU SHOULDN’T BOOK LUXURY HOTELS DIRECT

this message has been heard clearly before. Read on to find out Why You Shouldn’t Book Luxury Hotels Direct.

As (hopefully) your go to travel advisors, we believe we have a compelling argument that virtually all your luxury hotel bookings should be through Amore Travel Designs, whether it’s a small domestic weekend trip, five nights in the Caribbean, or the bucket list tour of European cities, and so on.

THE PERFECT VACATION

So, what creates the perfect vacation for my clients? It all starts with a discovery call to learn how the clients like to travel, what they are looking to get out of their vacation and what will make it memorable and special for them. This should be the main goal of any travel designer. Those clients that are just needing a quickie Mexico trip or the best bargain they can find are probably not really needing the services of a travel designer/advisor. That’s what Expedia was created for. But if you want an authentic, off the beaten path experience, where people meet culture and immerse themselves in the destination, then you have found the right place to create a perfect vacation.

COLORFUL CITIES TO SEE

Procida Italy

radar city is off the coast of Naples. This city is lined with sherbet colored buildings and narrow little streets. The fisherman colored their houses brightly to see them from the sea. #1 of the colorful cities to see.

SPRING BREAK TRAVEL

Paris

Who is ready to start thinking about Spring Break travel? Everyone loves to get away in the middle of winter, when we are tired of the cold weather or just have cabin fever. Would you prefer a week in Paris, Costa Rica or somewhere in the Caribbean? These are all great options for a luxury trip filled with relaxation.

NEW YEAR’S WEEKEND

Holidays get crazy busy and sometimes you just need to escape after the holiday madness. New Year’s is a great excuse to get away for a quick weekend trip and experience something new! Last minute New Year’s weekend get-away is an adventure you won’t want to miss!

SIMPLY SCOTTSDALE

I have been craving a getaway as I haven’t travelled in the month of December yet. So, Richard and I are off to Scottsdale Arizona for a 3-day weekend. We will work from the pool on Friday and then enjoy the weekend with warmer weather than in Colorado. Have you ever thought about a long weekend getaway domestically? I will admit I am usually a “long distance” traveler. Simply Scottsdale, I thought I would introduce you to some resorts that you could enjoy during a long weekend here.

TRAVEL LOVER GIFT GIVING

If you are like me, this is a tough subject! My passion is traveling and here it is Christmas time. Everyone wants ideas for gifts, and of course, I don’t really need anything. I crave experiences, new culinary delights, spending time in another country. Those do not really make great Christmas gifts. So… this edition… Travel lover gift gifting. (The super short version as I don’t have that many ideas).

ACTIVE ITALY TRIPS

This week I am at a virtual trade conference for Italy.  What does this mean?  It means that I meet with suppliers from Italy online on Zoom.  I learn about new properties, new suppliers, new destination management companies, and more.  Today, I had the pleasant experience of meeting with Dolomite Mountains.  This is a destination management company, and they work with travel advisors (like me) to curate amazing experiences in their “country”. I cannot wait to share some of these amazing ideas for active travelers or skiers!

SECRET BOLOGNA EXPERIENCE

Richard and I were traveling through Bologna and I found the most special farmhouse/cooking class in the countryside of Bologna. The owners were lovely, engaging and we were in awe of the whole experience. A husband-and-wife team running a farm, restaurant, cooking school, and a B&B as well. This secret Bologna experience has stayed on top of our minds every time we think of Italy.

HOLIDAY TRAVEL GUIDE

The holidays are quickly approaching.  Can you believe that it’s the middle of November already?  I cannot! Holidays bring special moments of spending time with the family, gift gifting, and festive traveling! What are your plans for the holidays?  This week I thought I would put a few ideas as a holiday travel guide.
