How do you save clients money?
+

One of the most common misconceptions about travel agencies is that we overcharge, which couldn’t be further from the truth. We understand much of what our clients do must stay on budget which is why we work directly with top executives to determine the client’s financial goals and finalize an appropriate travel policy and corresponding budget before getting started.

Our preferred and contracted hotel rates and programs, custom airline business agreements and programs, and all additional upgrades, amenities (oftentimes a food and beverage and spa credit), and added services far outweigh any difference in cost. With our expertise and foresight, our experienced agents recommend the most cost-effective options with the lowest risk, in case trip interruptions do arise.

And finally, after utilizing our media tax incentive and travel insurance policy assistance, you are already ahead of the game, not to mention all the time you just saved scouring and comparing a dozen different websites.

Do you book rental cars?
+

Yes. From airport arrival rental pick-ups to secluded leisure destinations, high-profile celebrity limousine transfers to even higher-volume motorcoach cast and crew events, our hand-picked, preferred global vendors carry fleets of all vehicle types to match nearly any preference for your private transfer and rental vehicle needs.

Do you manage high-volume requests?
+

Yes. We are an integral component of the entertainment and production industries as well as the top choice for much of Hollywood, so our in-house event planning division and dedicated on-site coordinators are often sought after for national event series and film festivals around the globe. Our dedicated team of travel experts is the most well-equipped in the industry for arranging and realizing complex itineraries while navigating tight schedules for high-volume events, coordinating everything from travel and accommodation for top talent, staff, and attendees, to motorcoach transportation and group hotel and airfare blocks.

Do you provide on-site assistance?
+

Yes. Our event staff members consistently provide the most professional and satisfactory assistance for key on-site support areas in the industry. The number of staff recommended for the event and surrounding dates will be outlined in our final agreement. Staff accommodations must be requested during the hotel contract negotiations. All travel expenses, including accommodation, will be outlined in the final program budget.

Our daily rate applies to ENTERTRAVEL’s event staff only and will be negotiated prior to the contract. Additional hourly staff members (such as directional staff or additional registration support during peak hours) are available and selected and managed by us from our preferred network of locally hired staff. On-site assistance includes but is not limited to:

  • General guest assistance
  • Food and beverage management
