These guides show you how to research destinations faster, draft proposal copy in minutes, and handle repetitive client emails more efficiently, so you can take on more clients without working longer hours.

A warm, personalized outreach email that re-engages a past client around a milestone — one that doesn't feel like a sales pitch and often generates a booking conversation.
Write a warm re-engagement email to past travel clients [names], who traveled to [past destination] with me [X] years ago. They're coming up on their [anniversary/birthday] in [month]. Suggest celebrating with a trip to [new destination idea that connects to what they loved]. Tone: personal, warm, not pushy — like a note from a friend who happens to know a lot about travel. Under 150 words.
View full prompt →Tip: Reference something specific from their past trip if you remember it — the AI can weave in a detail you provide. Even "they raved about the food in Rome" gives enough for a sentence that makes clients feel genuinely remembered. These emails generate the highest ROI of any outreach you can do.
A warm, professional reply to your client's email — all their questions answered in your advisory voice — ready to review and send.
My client emailed me: "[paste their email]". I'm a travel advisor specializing in [your specialty]. Draft a warm, knowledgeable reply that answers all their questions thoroughly. Tone: expert but approachable, not corporate. Keep it under 200 words.
View full prompt →Tip: Paste the actual client email rather than summarizing it — the AI will match their tone and address everything they mentioned, including subtext. For sensitive emails (complaints, cancellation requests), add "be especially empathetic and solution-focused" to the prompt.
A structured, advisor-ready destination briefing covering the key facts you need before a client consultation or proposal — without 90 minutes of tab-hopping.
Give me a professional travel advisor briefing on [destination]. Include: best travel season and why, visa requirements for US citizens, top regions to visit and their character, internal transportation options, cultural customs and etiquette, tipping norms, safety overview, and the 3 questions clients always ask about this destination.
View full prompt →Tip: Always verify visa requirements and entry rules against the official government source (travel.state.gov for US citizens) — AI knowledge can lag policy changes. Use this prompt for destinations you know less well; it gets you from zero to conversant in 10 minutes.
A calm, professional, empathetic email response to an upset client — one that acknowledges their frustration, explains what you can do, and maintains your professional relationship even when the is...
Write a professional, empathetic email response to a client who is upset about [issue, e.g., supplier cancellation, unexpected price increase, hotel downgrade during travel]. The issue was caused by [who/what]. I want to acknowledge their frustration, explain what I can/cannot control, and outline my next steps to help resolve it.
View full prompt →Tip: Read the AI draft critically before sending — it may be more formal than your usual tone. Soften any language that sounds defensive or overly corporate, and add one specific personal detail that shows you remember their trip. The structure AI gives you is solid; personalize the voice.
An evocative, client-specific hotel description that explains not just what the property is, but why it's right for this particular traveler — written in your voice, not the supplier's marketing copy.
Rewrite this hotel description in the voice of an expert travel advisor speaking directly to my client. My client: [brief profile — honeymooners in their 30s, adventurous couple who hate tourist traps, luxury-seeking couple celebrating 25th anniversary, etc.]. Focus on what this client specifically will love. Tone: warm, knowing, not promotional. Under 120 words. Hotel description: [paste supplier text]
View full prompt →Tip: Claude produces especially evocative travel writing for this prompt — try it for proposals where the prose matters most. Add "mention one detail that reveals insider knowledge" to make the description feel like it came from someone who's actually been there.
A 350–450 word travel newsletter ready to drop into Mailchimp or Constant Contact — informative, engaging, and personal enough that clients actually read it.
Write a 400-word travel advisor newsletter for [month]. Theme: [topic — e.g., "Why River Cruises Are Having a Moment" or "5 Destinations Worth Visiting Before the Crowds Arrive"]. Target audience: [client type — past clients who prefer luxury resorts, adventure travelers, etc.]. End with a soft call-to-action: [what you want them to do — book a discovery call, reply to ask about a destination, etc.]. Tone: personal, curious, not salesy.
View full prompt →Tip: Add one personal sentence at the top — "I just got back from a FAM trip to Morocco and here's what surprised me most" — before the AI-generated body. That personal hook is what makes newsletters feel human. AI writes the body; you write the hook.
A comprehensive, destination- and season-specific packing list — covering clothing, gear, health, documents, and the often-forgotten items — that clients treat as one of the best things you've ever...
Create a complete packing list for [party type — couple/family/solo] going on a [X]-day [trip type — safari, beach resort, European city tour, river cruise] in [destination] in [month/season]. Include: clothing by day and night temperatures, specialized gear, health and pharmacy items, important documents, technology needs, and 5 things most travelers forget for this specific trip type.
View full prompt →Tip: Send this 3–4 weeks before departure — early enough to act on, late enough to feel timely. Attach it as a PDF in Travefy or your pre-departure email. Clients consistently mention the packing list as a differentiating service touch.
A 3-message post-trip sequence (welcome home, how was it, and what's next) that keeps you top of mind, captures reviews, and plants seeds for the next booking.
Write a 3-message post-trip email sequence for a travel advisor. Client: [name(s)], Trip: [destination and type], Return date: [date]. Message 1 (day of return): warm welcome home, brief. Message 2 (3 days later): ask for highlights, what they loved, and any feedback — warm and curious, not a survey. Message 3 (2 weeks later): plant seeds for next trip [suggest a connected destination or next anniversary trip] and gently request a Google review. Each message under 100 words.
View full prompt →Tip: Build this sequence once per trip type (Italy honeymoon, Caribbean cruise, African safari) and save the templates — you'll only need to swap in names and specific details for each client. The Day 14 message with a review request has a dramatically higher response rate than a generic "please leave a review" sent immediately after return.
A complete 30–45 second Instagram Reel script with shot-by-shot descriptions, voiceover narration, and on-screen text suggestions — ready to film on your phone.
Write a 30-45 second Instagram Reel script for a travel advisor posting about [destination]. Angle: [choose one — "3 things nobody tells you about [destination]" / "Why I keep sending clients to [destination]" / "The [destination] trip that changed my mind about [common assumption]"]. Include: 5-7 shot descriptions, voiceover text for each, and on-screen caption suggestions. Tone: [authentic and curious / aspirational / insider knowledge]. End with a CTA to DM me "TRIP" for a free consultation.
View full prompt →Tip: The "3 things nobody tells you" and "this changed my mind" hooks dramatically outperform generic destination showcases. Film each shot in portrait mode (vertical), use natural light, and keep each clip 3–5 seconds. The script handles the creative work — you just film and clip it.
Three ready-to-post social media captions with hashtag sets — one for Instagram (shorter, visual), one for Facebook (slightly longer, conversational), and one travel tip style — all for the same ph...
Write 3 social media captions for a [destination] photo. I'm a travel advisor specializing in [niche, e.g., luxury honeymoons, family travel, cruises]. Tone: warm and inspiring. Include relevant hashtags. Keep each under 150 words.
View full prompt →Tip: Ask for a mix of styles in one prompt: "make one inspirational, one educational (a travel tip), and one promotional (mentioning I can book this trip)" — three different captions from one request gives you a week of content from a single photo.
A complete, evocative trip proposal narrative — day-by-day highlights, hotel rationale, and why these choices suit your specific client — ready to drop into Travefy or your proposal template.
Draft a [X]-day [destination] trip proposal for [couple/family/solo traveler] in their [age range] who want [travel style — luxury, adventure, cultural, relaxed]. Budget: $[amount] land. Must-haves: [list]. Write a compelling day-by-day narrative with hotel rationale. Tone: warm and expert.
View full prompt →Tip: Claude tends to write more evocative, sophisticated travel prose than ChatGPT — try both and see which better matches your voice. Add "use vivid sensory language — sights, smells, textures" to get copy that makes clients feel like they're already there.
A clear, organized summary of visa options, costs, processing times, and passport requirements for a specific country — ready to paste into a client email or trip proposal.
Summarize current entry requirements for a U.S. passport holder traveling to [country] for [duration]. Include: visa options (e-visa vs. visa on arrival vs. embassy), cost, processing time, passport validity required, and any health entry requirements. Note anything that changes frequently.
View full prompt →Tip: Always add a disclaimer when you send this to clients: "Requirements can change — please verify current rules at travel.state.gov and the destination country's embassy website before departure." This protects you and ensures clients double-check before traveling.
A concise, compelling response to the "why should I pay you when I can book it myself?" question — tailored to your specific specialty and what you've delivered for past clients.
Write a 3-paragraph response to a prospect who asked why they should use a travel advisor instead of booking on their own. My specialty is [your specialty — e.g., luxury Italy travel, African safaris, cruise vacations]. Recent example of value I delivered: [brief story — e.g., saved clients 2 days of itinerary confusion by pre-booking timed tickets, or called the hotel at 2am when a client's flight was cancelled and had them rebooked by morning]. Tone: confident but not defensive; like a professional who doesn't need to convince anyone but genuinely wants to help.
View full prompt →Tip: The specific client story is the most persuasive element — AI can polish it, but you need to provide it. If you don't have a strong story ready, use this prompt: "What's the most common problem my [specialty] clients say they would have had booking this trip themselves?" — that answer becomes your example.
