Condé Nast Traveler announces that they are about to unveil an exciting new online tool -- on Condé Nast Traveler’s site truth.travel – that will match CNT readers and other sophisticated, affluent travelers with the right travel specialist to design their trip. They’re calling the tool “Find Your Perfect Travel Planner,” and each of their hand-picked travel specialists and villa agents will have his/her own profile page on the site.
Travelers will be able to search, by destination and activity, for the right travel specialist for their needs. CNT readers will be able to ask questions of travel specialists as well as read and post user reviews.
Condé Nast Traveler anticipates that this new part of the website will be a valuable resource to travelers.
