Do certifications really help?
Yes! Suppliers often provide planning tools, booking windows, and escalation support to certified advisors. That can translate into smoother trips and better value for you.
How often do you renew?
Some programs require I certify annually or when major updates roll out. I also track renewal dates and re‑certify proactively.
What if my destination isn’t listed among your certifications?
If it’s on the map, I can plan it. While some of my certifications are broad, I'll always research current entry rules, seasons, and reputable partners before we book your destination!
