MasterAdvisor 54: Selling the Caribbean

Experts say the Caribbean is still the hottest destination for clients and that selling it is a smart business. While it seems easy with there being so many resources that can help you know what’s new in the Caribbean and how to match your client’s needs with the right destination where do you start? In honor of Caribbean heritage month, TMR Publisher Anne Marie Moebes is sitting down with Kelly Fontenelle, Founder and CEO of Travel Advisors Selling the Caribbean, Nancy Finn, Owner and Founder of Island Getaways and Norman Williams, a certified travel consultant and the owner of Majestic Dream Vacations, covering how to sell the Caribbean to your client.

Video: Can Booking Bachelor and Bachelorette Party Groups Be Profitable for Advisors?


Groups can be big business for travel advisors, but a lot of advisors don't seem to know where to start.

Heather Di Pietro, Owner, and CEO of Travel Sales Group, has grown a business with the help of bachelor and bachelorette party group bookings. She joined TMR's MasterAdvisor series to talk about servicing and finding those kinds of groups, including what those clients want from travel advisors and where they now want to go. 

The full episode is available here.

MasterAdvisor 53: Finding, and Booking, Bachelorette/Bachelor Party Groups 101


Many things need to get done before saying “I do.”

This includes finding the perfect venue, drafting the guest list, picking the date, and other things that will inevitably come up. With this much to juggle for the bride and groom, it’s also challenging for the bridesmaids and groomsmen to pull them away from the planning grind for the perfect Bachelor and Bachelorette parties.

What makes the perfect bachelor/bachelorette party? How do you plan it? Heather Di Pietro, Owner, and CEO of Travel Sales Group started in the business after booking her 10th anniversary trip to Mexico with her husband and catching the eye of the travel agency owner she booked with. Her expertise in romance travel, MICE, escorted, and adult groups helped her eventually start her own agency in 2013. 

She joined TMR for MasterAdvisor 53 this week to talk about booking the perfect Bachelor and Bachelorette parties.

Check-In Episode 26: Going Beyond a ‘Cookie Cutter’ Travel Experience

Serena Cook, the founder of Deliciously Sorted, a concierge company based out of Ibiza, has spent years making sure ultra-high-net-worth travelers get what they want out of a sojourn to Ibiza. 

But knowing the ins and outs, and having connections to the best places to eat and party, of Ibiza isn’t all that’s required of that job task. One of the most important things Serena has mastered in her years in business is how to communicate with, and exceed expectations of, her high-net-worth-clients. 

In this episode, Serena talks to TMR about her company including how she started by partnering the travel advisors, how Ibiza has changed throughout the years, and how best to talk to clients who are interested in not only spending a lot of money on a vacation, but also having a distinct, unique, far-from-ordinary vacation.
