Top Travel Destinations and Tips with C.I.G.’s Finest Travel Agent Anna:

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta  ….We are so very excited to have had the opportunity to sit down and speak with Anna from C.I.G. Travel about unique travel destinations, tips on traveling and fun activities for couples going on their honeymoon. 

How did you get into the travel business?

[Anna:]  I always had passion for traveling and exploring the world; I remember organizing trips for my classmates while in high school and what pleasure that gave me! Back then I knew that no matter what I do it has to do with travel.

What are some pluses and minuses of working in the travel business?
 
[Anna:]  There’s plenty of positive…. sites you get see around the world, meeting people from other cultures and backgrounds and having the opportunity to learn about them. I’d have to say that one negative would be there’s never enough time to do and experience everything!

 What are the top 5 hottest honeymoon destinations in the world and what are the top 5 most private and least traveled destinations?

[Anna:] my opinion might be bit different from the statistics but since you are asking me; there is: Hawaii (Maui and Kauai), French Polynesia, Saint Lucia in the Caribbean, and Santorini in Greece, and Maldives.

When it comes to the top 5 most private and least traveled I   would say: Peter Island and Mustique Island  in the Caribbean, Robinson Crusoe Island in Fiji, Tahaa Island in French Polynesia; Cayo Espanto in Belize

Key tips to traveling? (passports, vaccinations, safety, etc.):
 
[Anna:]  Always make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months before you leave your country, make sure to check visa requirement as well as vaccinations – you don’t want to be denied access to a country and return home on the same day. Also, if you are not a US citizen make sure to bring you green card. Your travel agent should let you know what you need based on where you are traveling. Make sure to leave your hotel information with your friends or family, in case they need to reach you.

What to bring, what to buy?

 
[Anna:] Depends where you are gowning. I always travel with: sunscreen, bug repellant, bathing suite, first aid kit, medicine for upset stomach, umbrella and layer of clothing; even if you are traveling to warm climate you might need a sweater or a windbreaker.

Can you give us some examples of Fun and unique activities for couples on vacations?

 [Anna:] Oh possibilities are endless! Hot air balloon rides, bicycling around Amsterdam, cooking classes in Italy or Asia, horseback riding, scuba diving, hiking to hidden waterfalls, yachting and of course couple massages are just a few to list.

Best and most flexible airlines?

[Anna:] Always try to buy a package deal, or charters provided by tour operators or resorts.

 
Any current deals available?

[Anna:] There are always deals! Are you ready to go? Call me and I will give you all the info.
 
Where do you recommend to go for a honeymoon? Why?

[Anna:] I always recommend Sandals Resorts or Adults only properties – they are high end and all luxury inclusive. Great service, authentic cuisine, fresh ingredients and top shelf alcoholic beverages. In all Sandals Resorts all water activities are included even scuba diving; golf is included if there’s a golf course. Also they have the best beaches with the calmest waters.
 
Where can we get in touch with you to book our next vacation?

 [Anna:]  You can email me at romance@cigtravel.com or anna@cigtravel.com or call me 773.701.3003
