Who We Are

Travelwise International has been a leader in the travel industry for over 30+ years.  We have been serving clients and organizations through all the changes in travel and in our world, and we will be serving them far into the future.  We are travelers.  We know that all vacations are not created equal and that the clients that seek us out want exceptional value, but also unrivaled experiences and access to see the world in the way they want to see it, and we can make that happen.

Elevated Experiences

The professional advisors are travelers too! We travel to explore new destinations, to experience new resorts, to enjoy a relaxing cruise, but mostly we travel because we love exploring this wonder-filled world of ours.  Travel advisors that travel not only have first-hand experience in many destinations and have walked the halls that you might be looking at, it really makes a difference having an advisor that understands the ins and outs, hassles and exuberance of the whole travel experience.

Buying Power and Access

Travelwise International is a member of the renowned and respected Travel Leaders Network.  This is the largest travel organization with over 14,000 professional travel advisors and over $10 Billion in aggregate sales.  This not only gives us tremendous buying power and leverage, but it also gives us high-level contacts and access to exceptional travel options unavailable to the traveling public.

Exclusive Cruise Programs

We have a robust cruise program available to all of our clients with Amenities and Benefits on hundreds of sailing per year.  Many of these include one or more of the following:

  • Exclusive Private Car-and-Driver program – choose from a four or eight-hour private experience for your clients in some of the most spectacular ports.  Give them the gift of sightseeing at their speed not “group speed.”
  • Prepaid Gratuities
  • Private food and wine events
  • Hosted Sailings with a Private Welcome Reception
  • Shipboard credits
  • Onboard and onshore exclusive events
  • Group Rates

Destination Specialist Program

We have developed relationships over many years with local travel providers in destinations around the world.  We have learned that we cannot be an expert at everything and with how fast the world is changing, we will never be able to keep on top of all the new experiences that cities and countries have to offer.  Our relationships allow us to have a local expert, on the ground, in countries all over the world.  Need a dinner reservation in a hot new restaurant in Rome? Looking for sold out theater tickets in London?  Our local contacts are there to provide all of these amazing contacts and experiences for our clients.  Now you can work and build a relationship with your Travelwise travel advisor AND have an expert everywhere you travel. 

SELECT Hotel and Villa Program

Explore our SELECT Hotel Program with over 1,100 of the finest Hotels, Resorts, Lodges, and Spas throughout the world.  Enjoy exclusive amenities available to all of our clients.  These vary by property but provide great value for our clients.  Amenities almost always include Daily Breakfast, in addition to a combination of other valuable extras, such as a Resort Credit, Complimentary Transfers, Welcome Bottle of Wine, etc.  Clients are also offered upgrades, early check-in or early check-out based upon availability.  More importantly for us and our clients is the VIP treatment they receive when staying in one of these beautiful hotels and resorts.   Click here to learn more, search through the list of hotels and explore the added amenities.
