The quality of a proposal usually reflects the quality of the brief. A short, honest description of what matters — and what doesn't — saves days of iterations and leads to options that genuinely fit.
The essentials
Most requests can be sourced well from a handful of facts:
- Destinations and dates, with how flexible each one is.
- Number of travellers, including children and anyone with accessibility needs.
- Accommodation style: hotel suite, private villa, yacht or a combination.
- Transport between each stage: private aviation, helicopter, chauffeured car.
- An optional budget range, or a note that you prefer not to share one.
Describe preferences, not just properties
Naming a favourite hotel helps, but explaining why you like it helps more. Privacy, a particular style of service, proximity to the sea, a kitchen for a family chef — these preferences let an adviser suggest alternatives when the first choice is unavailable.
Be clear about what is fixed
Separate the non-negotiable from the nice-to-have. A fixed event date, a medical requirement or a security consideration should be stated plainly. Everything else gives room to find better value or availability.
Confirmation and terms
Hotels, villa owners, yacht operators and airlines each apply their own booking terms, deposits and cancellation rules. Review them before confirming, and keep personal documents and payment details for the secure booking stage rather than the first message.
