MasterAdvisor 79: Why Some Consumers Choose Villas Over Hotels

by Daniel McCarthy  October 27, 2023

Villas are becoming a more common ask for clients, and an easier product for travel advisors to sell. In this episode, TMR talks to Laura Salas from Court Travel, an advisor who has been selling villas for some time to see why some of her clients prefer villas, and what destinations, and client types, fit best in the segment.

Salas, Lead Leisure Travel Advisor and Operations Coordinator at Court Travel LTD. has been selling travel since 2017. A native to North Carolina, but a world traveler at heart, Salas is a personal travel concierge in Charlotte with an undeniable passion for luxury accommodations paired with unique and custom experiences. Her clients say she is beyond capable of giving the best travel recommendations.
