Travel Planning FAQs
Have questions? We’ve got answers.
Planning a luxury vacation often comes with many questions.
Here are some of the most common ones we get at Harrison House Travel Agency.
1. What does the travel planning service include?
Our travel planning fee covers the time, research, and expertise required to design a fully personalized travel experience.
This includes destination research, resort and hotel recommendations, itinerary design, activity suggestions, booking coordination, and support throughout the planning process.
Our goal is to remove the stress of planning so you can enjoy a seamless and memorable vacation.
2. How much is the travel planning fee?
We offer two planning options depending on the level of support needed:
Luxury Trip Planning – $500
Perfect for most family vacations, all-inclusive resorts, cruises, and single-destination trips.
VIP Custom Trip Design – $1,000
Designed for more complex itineraries such as multi-destination travel, international trips with multiple stops, or highly customized travel experiences.
During your consultation, we’ll determine which planning option is the best fit for your trip.
3. What happens after I pay the planning fee?
Once your planning fee is submitted, we begin designing your personalized travel plan.
You’ll receive carefully curated destination and resort recommendations along with itinerary suggestions tailored to your family’s travel style, preferences, and budget.
Once your selections are approved, we handle the booking process and continue supporting you until your trip is complete.
4. Can you plan trips for large families or multi-generational groups?
Absolutely! We frequently help families plan multi-generational vacations and group trips.
We coordinate accommodations, activities, transportation, and logistics to ensure everyone has a smooth and enjoyable travel experience.
5. Do you only plan trips for families?
While our specialty is luxury family travel, we are happy to plan trips for couples, friends, or individuals looking for a well-organized and stress-free vacation.
6. What if I need to cancel or change my trip?
Travel plans sometimes change, and we will help guide you through the process.
We work with trusted travel partners that offer flexible policies whenever possible, and we strongly recommend travel insurance to protect your travel investment.
7. Are there any other fees beyond the planning fee?
Your planning fee covers the time and expertise required to design and coordinate your travel experience.
The cost of your trip — including flights, hotels, excursions, and transportation — is paid directly to the travel providers.
8. Can you book flights, hotels, and activities?
Yes! We coordinate all aspects of your trip including flights, accommodations, excursions, transfers, and recommended dining reservations when available.
Our goal is to ensure every part of your trip works together seamlessly.
9. How far in advance should I plan my trip?
For the best availability and pricing, we recommend planning:
• International travel: 6–12 months in advance
• Popular destinations or peak seasons: 9–12 months
• Domestic travel: 3–6 months in advance
Planning early allows us to secure the best resorts, flights, and experiences.
10. Why should I use a travel advisor instead of booking online?
While booking online can seem convenient, it often requires hours of research, comparing options, and managing travel logistics yourself.
Working with a travel advisor provides personalized guidance, expert recommendations, and ongoing support throughout your trip planning process. We help you avoid common travel pitfalls, identify the best resorts and experiences for your family, and ensure every part of your vacation works together seamlessly.
Our goal is to make your vacation planning simple, enjoyable, and stress-free.
11. Do you offer payment plans for trips?
Many resorts, cruise lines, and travel suppliers offer flexible payment schedules that allow you to spread out the cost of your trip over time.
During the planning process, we’ll help identify options that work best for your travel budget and timeline.
12. What types of destinations do you specialize in?
Harrison House Travel Agency specializes in luxury family vacations, including:
• Caribbean all-inclusive resorts
• Mexico luxury resorts
• European family travel
• Japanese family travel
• Cruises and guided tours
• Multi-generational family trips
If you're looking for a seamless, well-planned travel experience, we're here to help design a trip tailored specifically to your family.
