Why Work with a Travel Advisor?
The internet is overflowing with travel information—both good and bad. Navigating all that can be overwhelming. That's where Matt Travel comes in! As your Travel Advisor, we help you sift through everything to make confident travel decisions, whether you're traveling solo, with your partner, family, or a group of friends.

Here are 5 reasons to work with a Travel Advisor…

1. Handling Travel Disruptions
Have your travel plans ever fallen apart at the last minute? At Matt Travel, we have experience dealing with many travel mishaps. For example, there was a time when a bride discovered on her wedding day that her honeymoon flights were canceled. It caused a lot of panic! However, while she was busy with her big day, we worked behind the scenes to rebook everything and make sure her honeymoon went smoothly. This is just one of the many stories where we've successfully turned potential disasters into stress-free experiences.

2. How Matt Travel Makes It Easy
When planning your trip, we do more than just give answers; we ask questions to understand your style and preferences. Our top goal? Making sure your trip goes above and beyond your expectations. Whether it's a minor hiccup or a major issue, you won't have to deal with impersonal help desks or endless holds. With Matt Travel, you get direct, personal assistance—whether through a call, text, email, etc.

One of the coolest perks of working with us is our insider knowledge. As frequent travelers ourselves, we’ve built connections within the travel industry, always ready to share tips on the best activities, hidden gems, and fantastic dining spots. Planning vacation packages tailored to your specific interests and desires is one of our favorite things to do. If you find an intriguing package online, shoot it our way, and we'll ensure it’s reputable and offers great value.

3. Industry Clout
Being well-connected has its benefits. We regularly touch base with hotel managers and other accommodation staff to confirm reservations and request complimentary extras like room upgrades, gift baskets, or even chocolates. While there's no guarantee, about 75% of our clients have enjoyed these perks because of our efforts. This clout extends further thanks to our membership in the Travel Leaders Network—allowing you to benefit from these valuable relationships too.

4. Genuine Care
We’re truly invested in making your travel experience exceptional. Whether you're planning a yacht experience around Croatia, a wine trip through Tuscany, or a laid-back beach escape in a private villa, our mission is to smooth out your journey and make it memorable. Plus, as a member of Pledge 1%, we dedicate 1% of our time and revenue to charity.

5. Inspiration & Expertise
Matt Travel’s journey as a Travel Agency began over a decade ago, inspired by Anita Pagliasso. Matt first met Anita at a seminar for Travel Advisors and knew instantly that this was the career for him. Her support was invaluable and now, Matt Travel brings that same dedication to every client relationship. When you work with us, you're not just another booking number. We genuinely care about ensuring you have a unique, hassle-free travel experience.
