01

Understand what the clients mean by luxury

For one traveller, luxury means quiet time and a well-located room. For another, it means an active itinerary with individually arranged experiences. Ask about pace, privacy expectations, room needs and interests before selecting an island route.

Avoid claiming that an entire destination guarantees seclusion or exclusive access. Those qualities depend on the actual property and services booked.

02

Plan the connections carefully

Island itineraries may combine scheduled flights, road transfers and boat services. Review the time needed for each connection and how weather or schedule changes might affect the plan.

Passengers with mobility needs or substantial luggage may require different arrangements. A short-looking map distance does not necessarily mean a simple transfer.

03

Review activities and preparation requirements

Boat excursions, water activities and other experiences require appropriate operator confirmation. Check participation requirements and explain weather-related limitations before clients travel.

Any requested private arrangement must be described clearly in the proposal. Shared excursions should not be marketed as exclusive, and supplier names do not imply a verified brand partnership.

04

Request a locally coordinated proposal

Send the agency details, travel dates, passenger profile and requested services. Identify what has already been booked and where assistance is needed. Meal and accessibility requests belong in the first brief.
