Mimi Lichtenstein on the benefits of advisors with post-coronavirus planning, and an awesome family travel planning hack (Safe Travels #36)

June 23, 2020 By Damian Tysdal

Coronavirus numbers are declining in much of the United States, and many people are starting to plan travel again (or at least thinking about it).

Travel suppliers have enticing trip offerings with low prices and eased cancellation policies, and the deals are so good you feel crazy for not booking.

But, since we’re not 100% out of the woods yet it still makes most people nervous to book a trip now.

What happens if there is another outbreak? What if you needed to cancel? How long will it take to get a refund?

Today’s guest might be able to help…or more specifically, travel advisors might be able to help.

I’ll be joined by Mimi Lichtenstein or TruVay travel, and she will share the many benefits of using a travel advisor. 

Advisors can help with the problems above, but also help you get extra trip perks that you don’t have access to.
