Why Sharing Behind-the-Scenes Work Builds Travel Client Trust

Written by Joshua Harrell | Feb 11, 2026 1:45:00 PM

Travelers do not just buy itineraries; they buy the unseen care, thought, and expertise behind them. When you share behind-the-scenes moments from your work, you invite your audience into the process that makes you worth hiring.

Why behind-the-scenes builds credibility

To a traveler, a finished trip can look effortless. What they do not see is:

  • The hours spent narrowing down the right suppliers and routes
  • The contingency planning for missed connections and weather
  • The quality checks that catch details before they become problems

When you pull back the curtain on even a small moment—editing an itinerary, mapping out a client journey, negotiating with a supplier—you help prospects understand what they are paying for. That transparency is not about bragging; it is about education.

What to share (and how to frame it)

You do not need a studio setup or perfect aesthetic; you just need intentional framing. Consider sharing:

  • A snapshot of your screen (carefully cropped) while comparing flight options and explaining how you think beyond just “cheapest fare”
  • A photo of your notes from a strategy call with a returning client, highlighting how you remember their preferences
  • A clip of you mapping out your week, showing dedicated blocks for client care, marketing, and learning

Always connect the behind-the-scenes moment to what it means for your clients: less stress, better experiences, and a smoother journey.

Turning everyday work into meaningful content

Make it a habit to ask, once per day: “What am I working on right now that my audience doesn’t know I do?” Then:

  • Capture a quick photo or short video
  • Write 2–3 sentences linking the task to your standards and care
  • Share it on the platform where your ideal traveler is already hanging out

Over time, these small glimpses compound into a powerful narrative: you are not a hobbyist booking trips; you are a serious entrepreneur stewarding someone’s travel dreams.
