When you work with Huggard Travel, you’re not just getting a travel advisor to manage all the details. You get access to my curated network of trusted travel partners, from Italy to Indonesia (and beyond!). 

What exactly does that mean for you as a client? Read on to discover how my industry relationships enrich your vacation, no matter where you go:

VIP perks through Virtuoso

If you haven’t heard of Virtuoso before, it’s the world’s leading collection of luxury travel brands, from hotels and resorts to cruise lines and even tour outfitters. Huggard Travel is affiliated with Virtuoso through the host agency Brownell Travel. Thanks to my Virtuoso connection, I’m able to pass on incredible perks and amenities to my clients whenever they check into a Virtuoso property. These may include:

• Accommodation upgrades upon arrival
• Complimentary breakfast included in stay
• Early check in/late check out
• Hotel/on-board ship credits
• And more (all subject to availability)

Perks and upgrades like these add hundreds of dollars in value to your stay; but more than that, they make you feel like a valued VIP as soon as you check in. Additionally, Brownell Travel offers perks at some properties that “stack” with Virtuoso’s, giving you even more value. A stay through Huggard Travel is pretty much the easiest way you can instantly upgrade your vacation (without you having to lift a finger yourself!).

High standards—that you can trust

Another benefit of working with Virtuoso properties is that, when you check in, you can trust that everything from service and amenities to room quality will be top notch. Virtuoso is a very selective consortia; it’s not easy to get into the network (and stay there!). 

In an age of AI-generated reviews and photos, it’s becoming harder and harder to know if what you see online is what you’ll get in person. A vetted Virtuoso stay, however, gives you peace of mind that your vacation investment is being well spent.

Experiences beyond the ordinary

My travel connections go far beyond matching you with properties I know will treat you well. Through Brownell Travel, I have access to a vast, and vetted, network of in-country travel partners around the world. They know their destinations thoroughly, they’re embedded in the local communities—and they know how to open doors to experiences most travelers can only dream of. 

Imagine an intimate, after-hours viewing of the Sistine Chapel, sipping tea in the “mobile” yurt of a nomadic tribe in Mongolia, a private tasting with the vintner at a celebrated winery, or a safari on a Serengeti game reserve not always open to the public. If you’re after truly immersive, uncommon experiences on your next journey, my travel partners can help me make that happen for you.

Support at every step

The final way relationships drive major value? They give you confidence while you travel that you’re in good hands. Because, let’s face it, when it comes to travel (even thoughtfully planned itineraries!), curveballs occasionally come up. As an advisor, it’s amazing knowing I have contacts on the ground I can reach out to if my clients need assistance. If you need support even hundreds of miles away, you’ll have someone local you can call. That peace of mind is invaluable.
