Professional Travel Advisors: Hotel Recommendation Methodology Study

We're hiring professional travel advisors to help us document the exact methodologies used to recommend hotels to clients. Understanding how experts evaluate properties, assess client briefs, and structure their proposals is critical to our research on travel planning workflows. Your expertise will provide a baseline for how high-quality travel curation is performed in the industry today.

You will deliver a bundled pair of deliverables detailing your professional workflow. First, you will write a comprehensive guide of around 4,000 words covering eight structural requirements of hotel recommendations. Next, you will record a 30-45 minute narrated screen capture demonstrating an end-to-end workflow for a sample New York City couple brief. This involves talking us through your thought process as you search, filter, and finalize your top property picks.

This opportunity is designed for active travel advisors, luxury travel agents, and professional trip planners with deep experience booking hotels. We welcome independent agents, agency-affiliated advisors, and corporate travel consultants who specialize in bespoke itineraries. You must be comfortable structuring a detailed written methodology and articulating your workflow out loud on video.
