Avanti Destinations: Redefining Global Travel with Innovation and Expertise
A World of Destinations: Avanti’s Diverse Global Portfolio
Avanti Destinations is reshaping the landscape of custom travel, seamlessly integrating personalized travel experiences with advanced technology. Their selection spans the globe, offering everything from the historic streets of Europe and the dynamic cultures of Latin America to the rich cultural mosaics of Asia and the varied landscapes of North Africa and the Middle East. The portfolio now includes the South Pacific, significantly diversifying its range of global travel destinations. Avanti’s digital e-brochures provide a wealth of detailed, easily navigable information, laying the groundwork for creating travel experiences as memorable as the places themselves.
Empowering Travel Professionals: The Avanti Advantage Program
At the core of Avanti’s forward-thinking approach is the Avanti Advantage program, a comprehensive collection of tools and services specifically developed to assist travel agents and operators in creating distinctive and tailor-made client experiences. For over four decades, Avanti Destinations has been a pioneering force in the international travel sector, renowned for its bespoke vacation experiences across the globe. At the heart of this commitment is the Avanti Reservations Team, a group of highly educated and passionate travel professionals. Stationed across various global hubs, including Portland, Oregon; Washington State; Barcelona, Spain; and a newly opened office in Manchester, England, —they ensure extended service hours to cater to a diverse clientele across multiple time zones.
Avanti’s approach to staff development is as meticulous as its travel planning. New team members undergo an intensive six-week training program covering everything from air and rail bookings to leveraging proprietary software and gaining deep destination knowledge. This hands-on training is augmented by continuous learning opportunities throughout the year, facilitated by insights from suppliers and tourism boards. A unique aspect of Avanti’s training approach includes the chance for Travel Consultants to participate in Educational Trips (EDUs) to destinations worldwide. These trips deepen their understanding of each location and help forge stronger connections with local suppliers. In 2023 alone, Avanti’s team explored countries such as Italy, France, the UK, Peru, Greece, Morocco, Japan, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, and Germany, thereby ensuring that the Travel Consultants possess first-hand experience and a thorough understanding of the logistics in the recommended destinations.
TC Connect, another innovative initiative by Avanti, exemplifies the company’s pursuit of efficiency and enhanced customer service. This program allows travel advisors to collaborate with a specific Travel Consultant for all their quotes and bookings, leading to improved response times and stronger advisor-consultant relationships. Furthermore, advisors are invited to join their TC Connect on educational trips, fostering a collaborative learning environment and enhancing the booking process. Avanti Destinations extends a warm invitation to Travel Advisors, encouraging them to partner in a journey where each travel dream is skillfully brought to life. With Avanti Advantage, every adventure is a crafted masterpiece, and every itinerary is a passage through the world’s diverse cultural and natural landscapes. As a reliable and experienced partner in the global travel industry, Avanti ensures satisfaction and comprehensive support at every turn. The company’s steadfast commitment to sustainable and meaningful global exploration is evident in every facet of its operation.
