Over the past several years, travelers have faced more than their fair share of disruptions—from global pandemics and extreme weather events to sudden travel shutdowns. Now more than ever, having a trusted travel advisor in your corner is essential to help navigate emergencies and keep your travel plans on track.

Travel advisors provide support before, during, and after your trip, helping you make informed decisions, rearrange plans, and advocate on your behalf when unexpected challenges arise. Here’s how we help travelers navigate emergencies:

1. We know how to rearrange travel plans quickly

Travel advisors make travel arrangements every day. We know how airlines, resorts, and transfer companies operate—and how to get things done fast when plans change.

Even the calmest traveler can feel overwhelmed during an emergency. Trying to call airlines or hotels from an airport or resort can be stressful and time-consuming, especially when hundreds of other travelers are doing the same. Having a travel advisor back home means you have someone who can handle the logistics for you, so you can focus on staying safe and calm.

2. We know where to find real information

During major events, social media can become flooded with videos, photos, and rumors that don’t always tell the full story. Travel advisors have direct access to trusted sources—resort representatives, tour operators, and destination management partners—who provide accurate updates.

This allows us to share the facts with you, help you make informed decisions, and avoid unnecessary stress. Whether it’s confirming if an airport is open or checking a resort’s reopening timeline, we rely on first-hand information from reliable contacts.

3. We advocate for our clients

When emergencies disrupt travel, policies can get confusing—cancellations, future travel credits, and insurance claims all come into play. A travel advisor is your advocate in these moments.

We handle communication with suppliers, confirm eligibility for refunds or credits, and ensure you’re treated fairly. We don’t stop once the emergency ends—we follow up until everything is resolved.

Our job is to take care of you not just before and during your trip, but also after, when it’s time to make things right.

4. We help you make the best decision for you

Not every traveler’s situation is the same. Some prefer to rearrange plans, while others choose to postpone or cancel. A travel advisor helps you weigh the pros and cons of each option based on your specific circumstances—so you can make the decision that’s right for you.

5. We provide peace of mind—before, during, and after your trip

When you book with a travel advisor, you’re not just getting an itinerary—you’re gaining a partner who’s there for you when it counts the most. We can’t control the weather, airline delays, or other disruptions, but we can control how prepared you are and how smoothly things are handled if plans need to change.

Working with a travel professional ensures that if something unexpected happens, you’re never facing it alone.
