Travel Advisor Service Utica, NY Travelers
“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you.”
– Anthony Bourdain
Looking to plan a vacation or travel? Finding the right travel advisor in Utica might still be the best option for stress free planning. While technology has made a lot of daily tasks easier, it’s created an overflow of information. Also, the human touch and customized service are a thing of the past. Working with a travel professional will help you plan and book the perfect vacation. From finding the best hotels to having a direct line to hotel and other travel management, travel advisors offer benefits to protect your first asset – your time.
Being local, we understand what you like on a vacation. From the best hotels or cruises, to finding the perfect Italian food outside of NY. We understand what hitting the Florida sun feels like during a February freeze and are just as excited to get you there as you are. Travel is our passion and we do it well.
Don’t Use a Travel Platform. There’s a Local Travel Advisor by Utica for You.
How Beach Bum Travel Helps Utica Travelers
Frustration 1: You spend hours researching the destination, transportation and hotel with little help or support from the booking platforms.
Frustration 2: With no live support, you are unsure about the pricing and if you book the right room. Also, you don’t know if the reviews are legit and you’re getting what you pay for.
Frustration 3: You’ve invested in your vacation, now everyone is upset because the trip didn’t live up to expectations and your kids are miserable and melting down.
Frustration 4: There’s no one to help when things go bad. Didn’t get the room you wanted? No pers or extras? Did you forget your excursion tickets?

Autism Travel Planning and Booking
78% of autistic travelers or parents of autistic kids are hesitant about traveling to a new destination. 94% of those surveyed would travel more if they knew there were options for them and their family. Beach Bum Travel prides itself on being Certified Autism Travel Professionals, meaning we are one of those resources to help you plan and book an amazing and inclusive vacation.
From concept to the flight home, we can be your trusted resource to help everyone have a trip they love. We stay up to date on Certified Autism Centers and new techniques to help ease yours or your little one’s tension about traveling. Before our daughter was diagnosed, we felt lost trying to provide the perfect vacation. We have the experience needed to help you, because we did it ourselves.
Cruise Travel Planning and Booking
Cruise travel has boomed in the past decade, and for good reason. Cruise travel has evolved from shuffle board and midnight buffets to contemporary cities at sea. You won’t be bored or hungry on or off board. From Broadway style shows to sports bars and Michelin level cuisine, a cruise might just be perfect for you. The best part, you can see multiple countries while only unpacking once.
Part of our specialty is planning and booking the perfect cruise for you. From mass-market party cruises to ultra-luxury yacht inspired cruises. We’ll match your travel preferences to the cruise line you’ll love. As an independent travel advisor with Fora Travel (a Virtuoso agency), we can offer some exclusive perks with many cruise lines.
All-Inclusive Resorts and Beach Inspired Hotels
Sometimes you just want to sit back, not worry about anything and be taken care of. If you’re looking for the ultimate luxury trip, an all-inclusive resort could be your solution. Imagine flying in, unpacking and having the rest handled. Drinks, food and most activities are included. All-inclusive resorts are perfect for all travel types. Couples, families, groups, corporate and destination weddings.
Maybe you like exploring the beaches, local cuisine and finding the hidden gems only the locals (and those who explore) know about. From Savannah, GA to St. Augustine and all the way down Marco Island. We love beach travel and strive for the beach bum lifestyle. We love exploring places like Florida, finding all the fun experiences and food. Did you know there’s a Greek village in Florida? You should try Hella’s Baklava!
Tropical vacations are our favorite. Sitting under a palm tree with a tropical drink living the Jimmy Buffet lifestyle. We work with the best all-inclusive resorts and beach vacation hotels. We’ll help with airfare (working with our partners), guide you through the transfers and offer everything you need to help enjoy your beach vacation. Working with our partners, we have the opportunity to offer perks and extras for many of the hotels and resorts we recommend.
Groups, Destination Weddings, MICE and Corporate Travel
Utica and the surrounding areas are very close. Growing up here, we know how tight the communities are. Small business, groups, clubs and more come together when needed and party even harder. We can help design, plan and book group travel for your needs.
Small business? Need a corporate retreat? Maybe incentive travel planned for top performers or giveaways? We can help. Maybe your church group or club is looking for a trip to help build stronger relationships? Getting married and want the perfect Caribbean wedding to show off on Instagram? Contact us to see how we can help.
