Professional Travel Planning and Research
If you're asking, "why should I use a travel advisor for my next trip," you're not alone. Traveling is more than searching online and using a search engine to book your trip. It's about the moments and memories created when everything goes perfectly. When you book a vacation with Rainbow Getaways, we ensure you can focus less on planning your vacation and more on creating memories.

Travel Research and Planning Fee
When you work with a Rainbow Getaways Travel Advisor, you receive a one-of-a-kind itinerary that is custom-built for you. Each element will be researched and vetted to ensure you make memories full of memorable moments.
We charge a small planning fee that allows us to conduct the deep-dive research necessary to select the best properties and fill your itineraries with activities to ensure that you'll be talking about your trip for years.
Our Travel Research and Planning fee (TRP fee) for cruise-only or all-inclusive vacations varies based on the complexity of the vacation and is waived when booking with Preferred Travel Partners. For non-preferred cruises or all-inclusive vacations, our TRP fee starts at just $47; for complex, fully customized vacations, our TRP fee starts at $247.
This allows your Travel Advisor to work for you, not travel suppliers. We will always have your best interests in mind and do what is best for you instead of trying to save a booking for the travel partner.

"I have been using Scott from Rainbow Getaways for all my travel needs as he is the most responsive and helpful Travel Agent I’ve encountered! From the beginning, in the pre-planning stage of the trip, to the actual trip itself and then once you’re back home, he has always been wonderful! He always makes sure to answer all my questions, make sure I get any updates, and check on me once the trip is underway to make sure everything is going as planned. For all my questions he will find the answer, and is very good with every little detail! I always feel very confident that he will help me plan out my vacation dreams to make them all a reality."
