CURATED ITINERARIES

What is the ideal vacation? The answer to this question is so specific to each traveler, AND it's also subject to change depending on the time of year, or type of trip. The same client could want to relax on a beach in the Middle of Nowhere for their honeymoon, and likewise have an active bucket list of { but not limited to } the following:

• Hike Mt. Difficult
• Explore Cool City, Europe
• Skydive over Epic Landscape, Africa
• Wander the Ancient Ruins of SO-MANY-COUNTRIES
• Dive with the most exotic sealife in Remote Ocean

PERSONAL TOUCH

During our initial phone call to discuss upcoming travel, we cover a lot of ground with clients regarding their goals for the next particular trip ~ what potential weather could be, any barriers to entry { e.g., visas, vaccines }, ideal pace and length of stay, how to balance the trip so that it doesn't feel redundant, and so on.

Most importantly, we want our clients to end every trip on the highest possible note, and we advise accordingly.

CTCo VS. THE INTERNET

We all know a little about a lot these days, and are one quick search engine result away from any answer, at any time. Actually, there are thousands { sometimes millions } of results, for EVERYTHING. How do you know what, or who, to trust for reliable intel?

At CTCo., we travel to see and experience and taste firsthand, we research constantly about global destinations, hotels, restaurants, sites and activities. We are a part of a vast network of luxury travel agents, and incorporate client feedback so that our information is updated and dynamic. And finally, we connect with our hotel and tour partners as frequently as possible to stay current on developments with their respective locales.

LUXURY

Another word that is highly debated, and very personal. A few definitions we regularly come across are best illustrated by these comments from clients:

• We want the BEST
• I don't have a lot of leisure time, so I want the most relaxing vacation
• I live for rustic, barefoot luxury
• We prefer boutique hotels to big brand names
• We have brand-loyalty and love staying with our preferred hotel chain
• Privacy is the most important factor for us
• This is a really big celebration, so we want it to be AMAZING!

We work with clients to best align perceived value with ideal spend based on how they define: LUXURY.

EVERYONE IS A VIP

The secret is out ~ We LOVE to VIP clients! And as everyone in the travel industry knows:

YOU CAN'T VIP YOURSELF.

CTCo. makes sure to notify each hotel, supplier { and anyone else involved in a given trip } that our clients are IMPORTANT.

IN FLIGHT

It's a pleasure to advise clients regarding best airlines, aircraft, seats, class of service, timing, and routing for their travels.

We are also aware so many people { everyone! } have points and miles to utilize, and it is getting harder to find ways to optimize them. You're in luck, we happen to be pretty good at finding options for points, and do our best to advise clients accordingly.

ONE STEP FURTHER

Most of our clients want to go the extra mile, and feel immersed in each destination. We are happy to recommend and arrange any or all of the following to the best of our ability as part of White Glove Services:

• Restaurants
• Local experiences
• Spa treatments
• Airport transfers

And beyond...

SPECIAL TREATMENT

The most magic happens when clients start traveling, and we get to surprise them with welcome amenities, notes, complimentary meals, or hotel credits. Not all hotels are created equal, so the perks will differ, but we do our best to secure as many extras as possible.
