Are you booking your first Villa Vacation for a client? Don’t know where to start?

According to a recent report by TMR, now is the ideal time for travel advisors to recommend villa vacations to their clients as an alternative to traditional resort stays. Clients are beginning to value experience-driven travel as post-pandemic travel explodes. They want a true blue adventure with a sense of community. 

After a seven-year “detour” as an attorney, Ellen Goldman, President of Trav-Ellen’ Inc, returned to her “travel roots as a leisure travel consultant.” she says that Villa rentals as one of the many tools on her planning utility belt. Goldman joined TMR to talk villas as part of MasterAdvisro 68.
