My host agency, Gifted Travel Network, is a member of Virtuoso and other individual hotel programs that are only available to top performing agencies.  These exclusive programs allow me to provide additional perks and amenities to your hotel bookings.  

What this means to you is that, even if you are at the highest level in a respective hotel’s loyalty program, I am able to add even more value to your stay at the same rate you would receive by booking on your own. In addition to still earning your loyalty points, you also have access to all my travel planning services.
