EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT THE JOB OF TRAVEL PLANNER

What is a Travel Planner ?

A Travel Planner is a travel organizer, specialized in designing and coordinating your trips based on your preferences, needs, and financial resources. Each Travel Planner may have one or more preferred areas and themes. In the case of EBENE EXPERIENCE, the focus is on journeys centered around discovering and understanding Caribbean, African, and Latin American histories and cultures.

By opting for the services of a Travel Planner, you not only save time but also gain peace of mind. They adapt to your desires by suggesting alternatives, while allowing you full control over your itinerary and budget. Working with a Travel Planner means benefiting from expertise, knowledge, and a network.

This avid travel enthusiast designs a tailor-made journey, taking care of all necessary aspects for its success: transportation, accommodation, transfers, activities, etc. Their goal is to ensure a smooth flow of your journey from start to finish. To achieve this, they listen to travelers without judgment. On the contrary, they become a support system.

It's important to note that the Travel Planner is not a travel agent. Therefore, they do not book tickets or services. Instead, they provide you with a travel guide composed of various activity suggestions, accommodations, transportation, etc., with booking links where possible. Final bookings are therefore up to you, giving you the freedom to select what you prefer and to be flexible with the proposed program while benefiting from actual market prices.

Discovery Exchange:
Whether it's for a destination already identified or advice on a destination, this initial phone exchange is very important and will serve me in understanding your travel expectations. Whether it's tranquility, adventure, nature, culture, food, or all of the above, your vision will be crucial in organizing YOUR trip. During this same exchange, it's also important to describe, among other things, any companions as well as their preferences and personalities, the duration of the stay, and of course the budget of each participant.

Summary of the exchange and validation of expectations:
Following the exchange, you will receive a detailed summary outlining your expectations, budget, information regarding each traveler, the type of discoveries, environments, visits, transportation, and accommodations desired. You will then need to validate and/or complete this information before the final quote is established. Once this quote is validated and paid, the research work can begin.

How the research process works:
Based on the defined specifications, I will submit a document containing information on the validated destination(s) as well as suggestions for activities, accommodations, and transportation. Some elements will be sent gradually, especially for those requiring quick booking, to ensure that we are on the right track. Of course, the proposals will be refined over time to perfectly meet your needs.

A travel guide just for you:
Once the research is completed, you will receive the final version of your personalized and unique travel guide in PDF format. It will contain all the research elements of the trip based on what was approved by the quote: important information about the country, flights and other means of transportation, various activities, sites to visit with or without a guide, the itinerary to follow, as well as the necessary reservation links, emails, and phone numbers.

Some examples of what a travel journal might include

The travel journal delivered at the end of the research is completely personalized for each traveler or group of travelers and is designed to allow you to discover and enjoy your destinations in both a geographical (visiting by geographical area) and logistical (dates & times of visits, sequence of activities, equipment to bring, etc.) logic. Below are some examples of elements from a travel journal created for a couple of specialized educators, in their fifties, traveling to Martinique for 10 days, for a wedding, and wishing to take the opportunity to discover Martinique, its people, and all its cultural richness (example bellow in french for the moment)

The remuneration of a Travel planner

The remuneration of the Travel planner is therefore based on the sale of travel organization advice and varies according to the number of days of travel (weekend, holidays...) and validated options (itineraries, additional persons, interactive map). The price will then correspond to the time spent on exchanges, research, design, and writing of your custom-made trip.
