Travel Agent vs. Travel Advisor

By Elena · Vacations by Elena

You may hear both terms when looking for help planning a trip. What matters is understanding the service you will receive.

Planning starts with a conversation

At Vacations by Elena, I work as your travel advisor. I take time to understand who is traveling, your preferences, your priorities, and your budget before narrowing the options.

Look beyond the booking

Ask how recommendations are selected, what planning support includes, what fees apply, and how to reach your advisor if you need help. Clear expectations make it easier to decide whether the service fits your needs.

A trip shaped around you

My focus is thoughtful cruise, custom vacation, and group travel planning, with personal guidance throughout the process.
