Luxury travel is less about a giant bank account and more about how you plan and who you plan with. 

I replayed Belvin Baldwin II's session from last year's Prep for Wave Week, where he breaks down what actually separates a luxury trip from an expensive one and why chasing deals repels the exact clients you want. 

We get into where busy professionals actually look before they book, how to network without the ick, and why your content needs to work for both Google and AI now. 

Learn how to position yourself as the problem solver luxury travelers come looking for, so the booking becomes the easy part. 

Questions this episode answers:

• What are the three criteria that make a vacation truly luxury?
• What are travel advisors getting wrong when they try to market to luxury clients?
• Where do luxury travel advisors actually find high end clients?
• How do you network for travel clients without coming across as salesy?
• What are the green flags and red flags when choosing a networking event?
• How often should a travel advisor publish content or get out to network?
• How do LinkedIn newsletters and YouTube videos help you show up in Google search?
• How do you optimize your travel content to get found in AI search?
• How can you tell if someone is a good fit for a luxury vacation?
• Why do open-ended questions help you uncover a client's real pain points?
