Who is This Guy?  

My name is Chuck Conine, and it's my pleasure to meet you, virtually for now.  

I've specialized in service to others throughout my entire professional career in the hospitality industry.  At Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration we learned that "life is service".  Simple, right?  We were also taught to listen before speaking, focus on basics, and to promptly deliver what our customers desire.  

My life as a lover of travel, especially international adventures, began over thirty years ago with a visit to London.  Since then I've traveled to many places, and in meeting  new people I've always discovered those whose life is all about service -- and this continues to inspire me.

 I have been honored to be awarded Avoya Travel's highest recognition for an agent, the Flowerfly, which recognizes service, loyalty, caring for fellow agents.

My goal?  Welcoming You as a Long-Term Member of my Client Family.

  • First:  You and I develop your client profile.  What you want me to know is important. What will bring you happiness.  What you want for those traveling with you.

  • Second:  Where, when and with whom you want to travel, comes into focus.  I'll send you a proposal based on what you've told me.  We'll confirm your directions.

  • Third:  Your itinerary takes shape with your air, cruise, hotel/resort, tour, rail, special occasions all outlined for you in a convenient, handy app on your phone, including the confirmations, amounts paid, notes, day-by-day events. 

How May I Help You?  Send me your inquiry or call me on my direct line tollfree at 866-786-3688.  It will be my pleasure to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Chuck Conine

"This is my first ever cruise and I really appreciate all the service I am getting from Chuck Conine. We have talked several times on the phone and each time we speak, it feels like I am talking to a long time friend. I am relying on Chuck's expertise and advice for our first cruise experience and so far I am very happy with our results. He found a cruise to fit our budget but still have all the bells and whistles we asked for. I hope this will be the first of many cruises with Chuck as our navigator".

"Very professional, personable approach. Chuck was extremely easy to talk with and he was sincerely interested in meeting our needs in order to make our trip as successful as possible".
