Travel Planning Fees:
The process of researching and designing a customized, tailored proposal that matches your travel style and preferences requires great attention to detail that takes time. Travel Therapy’s trip planning and booking fees cover the initial consultation and discussion of your trip expectations, time spent researching, developing, and revising a proposal, booking and managing all components, and support while traveling.
A non-refundable deposit of $200 will be charged once you decide to become a client which covers the initial consultation and processing the administrative forms.
Upon completion of the proposal and before delivery, 75% of the fee, based on hours spent building the proposal, will be charged. Once the bookings are completed and prior to document delivery, the final 25% of the fee will be charged. Fees are non-refundable and a 3.2% credit card fee may apply.
