Celebrate National Plan For Vacation Day as Travel Leaders Group Introduces New Travel Advisor Search Tool

January 28, 2020

A trusted travel professional makes all the difference in the world in the quality of a travel experience and in providing personalized care when travel disruptions occur.

Travelers can now plan the perfect vacation by searching among thousands of travel advisors based on interests, destination and specialties

New York, NY (January 28, 2020) — Just in time for National Plan for Vacation Day today, Travel Leaders Group rolls out a new search tool on its website to make it easier for travelers to find the perfect travel advisor who can help them plan the best vacation experience for their needs. For the first time, in one location on  www.travelleadersgroup.com/advisors, travelers can search across over 8,000 expert advisors from Travel Leaders Network, Nexion Travel Group, Protravel International, Tzell Travel Group and ALTOUR. Users can filter by location, travel interest, specialty or destination experience. The results reveal the best-suited, qualified advisors, along with their profiles, reviews, recommendations, certifications and awards.

 

Approximately 56 percent of Americans surveyed by Travel Leaders Group, one of the world’s leading travel companies, plan to take the same number of vacations in 2020 as they did in 2019, yet more than half of American workers (55%) failed to use all their time off, according to the most recent data from U.S. Travel Association.

What’s the key to using more vacation time? Planning, according to the U.S. Travel Association (USTA), and National Plan for Vacation Day is a great time to start thinking about where one wants to travel this year, and when. But nearly half of American households (46%) don’t do this simple step—and they may lose out on their time off and the benefits it brings, said USTA.

When planning vacations, travelers can become overwhelmed by the multitude of options. Increasingly, they turn to travel advisors to sort through the clutter of information and provide them with access to unique experiences and travel benefits.

“A trusted travel professional makes all the difference in the world in the quality of a travel experience and in providing personalized care when travel disruptions occur,” said Travel Leaders Group CEO J.D. O’Hara. “At Travel Leaders Group, our advisors are accessible, globally-connected travel experts who cut through the clutter of the internet and design personalized experiences for each unique traveler. Their access to exclusive benefits and resources make your dollars travel further, adding tremendous value to your travel plans. And they are passionate travelers, just like you, available to help before, during and after your journey.”

Travel Leaders Group is celebrating National Plan for Vacation Day by launching its find-a-travel-advisor search engine to encourage Americans to take their well-deserved time off. “What better way to take a day making plans than to doing so by planning travel?” asks O’Hara. “By committing to planning on January 28, Americans can enjoy the many benefits of taking a break while giving themselves something to look forward to—and our Travel Leaders Group advisors have some great ideas to help you plan your perfect getaway.”

National Plan for Vacation Day takes place during the last Tuesday in January as a day to encourage Americans to plan their vacation days for the rest of the year at the start of the year.
