• VIP Dream Trips

A new category of travel is coming to everyone’s attention these days. Who would’ve thought that you could find a way to be invited to a VIP event without having to find a contest to enter?

That special VIP event is being considered the ultimate in gifts these days. VIP trips like an outing to Los Angeles for an Oscar-themed weekend gala trip where tickets to one of the after parties, the real entertainment after the Oscars that allows rubbing elbows with the stars, were included recently in a trip setup for a couple from Florida.

The particular, real-life experience was a fantastic gift for his wife. The man who figured out how to get the trip of a lifetime for his wife is a security guard at the Kennedy Space Flight Center in Florida. He was able to secure this trip for a mere $10,000.

Experiences like going to the Elton John AIDS Foundation after-party are not only hard to make happen but the experience was star-studded. Opportunities to meet specific stars, dine at the table with them and go back stage after a performance at the fund raiser just aren’t things that happen automatically with the purchase of two tickets. Arrangements had to be made, activities coordinated there at the event and strings pulled to get it to all fall into place on the night of the event.

You may be asking yourself “How did he make this happen?”. This kind of trip involves a lot more than just travel plans, booking hotels, arranging for travel, buying some tickets and chauffeuring a couple around once they arrive. It requires connections and commitment to providing the opportunities of a dream. So, while not every travel agent can do this on their own, there are a burgeoning set of companies who can help a travel agent with those types of plans as an intermediary.

These services are the ultimate domain of someone who understands and can deliver a concierge-like experience. Instead of being an employee of a hotel though, they have their own business and can concentrate on many of these opportunities at one time.
