When planning a vacation, timing matters—and one of the most overlooked opportunities to gain extra value is booking while your Travel Advisor is actively visiting a resort.
These trips, often called site inspections or FAM (familiarization) trips, allow travel advisors to experience resorts firsthand so they can better guide their clients. But beyond improved recommendations, there’s often another benefit travelers don’t realize – exclusive booking incentives.
What is a Travel Advisor site visit?
A site visit is when a travel advisor travels to a destination to personally experience resorts, tour room categories, meet with resort partners, and evaluate the overall guest experience.
This firsthand knowledge allows advisors to:
- Recommend the right resort for your travel style
- Match room categories accurately
- Offer insight you won’t find online reviews
- Advocate on your behalf with trusted resort partners
In short, it’s about delivering a smoother, more confident travel experience.
Why booking during a site visit can benefit you
When a travel advisor is on property, they are:
- Deeply connected with resort teams and suppliers
- Up to date on current promotions and value adds
- Able to secure advisor-exclusive perks for their clients
That combination often creates a small—but meaningful—window of opportunity for travelers who are ready to book.
Spotlight on Moon Palace Jamaica
During my recent site visit to Moon Palace Jamaica, I experienced the resort with both couples and families in mind.
Moon Palace Jamaica is known for:
- A beachfront location in Ocho Rios
- Multiple dining options and premium beverages
- Activities for all ages
- Easy nonstop flight access
- A great balance for families, couples, and multigenerational travel
Because of my time on property, I’m able to offer tailored recommendations and added value for travelers considering this destination.
An exclusive booking opportunity
To celebrate my visit, I’m offering a $100 White Sand Traveler booking credit for new Moon Palace Jamaica reservations booked within 30 days of my return.
This offer is not publicly advertised and is available exclusively to clients who book directly through White Sand Traveler.
The takeaway
Booking with a travel advisor who invests in firsthand resort experiences doesn’t just mean better guidance—it can also mean added perks, stronger advocacy, and more value for your vacation investment.
If you’ve been considering Jamaica, this may be the ideal time to move from planning to booking.
