Stop Selling Trips. Start Designing Magnetic Travel Packages.

You know the drill—your inbox is overflowing with the same “exclusive” offers as every other agency. The photos are pretty, the promos are forgettable, and half your competitors are recycling last year’s itineraries. But you? You’re ready for more.

It’s time to be the advisor who redefines what clients expect from a travel package—where every booking is a custom experience, not a commodity. If you’re tired of blending in, this is your playbook.

Let’s get to work.

1. Make Every Package Irresistible

Cookie-cutter just won’t cut it. Want to be the advisor clients brag about? Ditch generic. Start every design with this question: “What would make someone say, ‘You read my mind!’?”

• Dig for the why: Who is this really for? A foodie, a photographer, a relaxation junkie, a multi-gen family?
• Add texture: Anyone can book Rome—only you can layer on behind-the-scenes pasta lessons, an evening with locals, or a sunrise Vespa ride.
• Tell a story: Give your package a headline (not just a name). “Florence for Foodies” with market-to-table cooking and a Tuscan truffle hunt. Be bold in your descriptions so your client can see themselves there.

Do this:
Don’t build for “everyone.” Your most successful packages always speak to a clear niche. Write for your dream client and let everyone else wish they got the invite.

2. Price for Perceived Value, Not Just Profit

You can’t always control operator-set rates, but you control what clients feel about their investment. Your edge? Bundling, bonuses, surprises.

• Don’t discount—add value: Stop screaming “lowest price.” Instead, say, “For this rate, here’s what you also get.” Complimentary transfers. Private museum access. Suite upgrades.
• Frame every offer: “I’ve locked in these bonuses just for clients who book through me.” It’s not just a tour, it’s an experience club.

Do this:
Run a quick audit of your top three competitors—what’s included, what’s missing, what could be bundled better? Your extras = your signature.

3. Upsell & Cross-Sell Without Feeling Salesy

You’re not upselling to pad your wallet—you’re upselling so nobody comes back saying, “I wish I’d known.” The right add-ons turn good trips into lifelong memories.

• Time it right: Suggest enhancements after securing the primary booking—when excitement is high and trust is built.
• Customize: If your client loves adventure, send a personal note about the zipline and a spa day. If they’re foodies, offer a chef’s table bonus night.

Do this:
Every upsell should sound like, “Because I know you, I thought of this.” Not “Want fries with that?”

4. Use Scarcity and Urgency the Right Way

You’re not just creating FOMO—you’re creating genuine, can’t-miss opportunities that drive decision-making.

• Be honest about urgency: “Only 8 spots left,” “Book by Friday for a sunset cruise.” If you fake urgency, you lose trust.
• Broadcast exclusivity: Show what’s truly special or limited—and make your message personal. DM, email, call—don’t just rely on the mass list.

Do this:
Set booking windows, highlight exclusives, and reward early action. Never wait until seats are gone to make things urgent.

5. The Essential Advisor Q&A—Your Quick Fixes

Want to avoid paralysis by analysis? Here are your rapid-fire answers to common stumbling blocks:

• How do I make my package stand out?
  Nail your niche and layer in personal touches others ignore.

• What if I can’t adjust pricing?
  Out-bundle your competition with real perks—not phony discounts.

• How do I upsell without being annoying?
  Wait, listen, then recommend what’s truly additive to the experience.

• What’s a no-brainer cross-sell?
  Offering insurance, transfers, exclusive activities—frame as personalized, not extra.

• How do I create urgency that works?
  Tie it to a deadline or bonus that’s actually limited—not manufactured.

Your Next Step

Don’t wait for permission. Pick a current offer and revamp it—add a bold experience, a bundled surprise, and a killer headline. Share it with your best-fit clients and watch the difference. The best advisors aren’t order-takers; they’re architects of possibility.

Write like you’re someone’s only travel advisor—and make it impossible for anyone to say no.
