Who are the Travel Creators?

Our Travel Creators are professional, local travel experts. They are passionate about the experiences they create and want to share their niche adventures with the rest of the world! Some are small business owners specialising in a few destinations or a specific type of travel. Some Travel Creators work with others to uplift their communities, with vast knowledge of unique activities/experiences in the area.
All of these incredible creators have one thing in common - Passion! They will inspire you, then assist you to fully customise, plan and book your next adventure. Our Travel Creators do this by sharing their knowledge and expertise but keep you, as the traveller, in the driver's seat! After all, it's your holiday isn't it?

Where are the Travel Creators from?

Our Travel Creators are based ALL OVER THE WORLD. Many of them are locals; offering an insight into the most unique aspects of the area, offering totally out of the box experiences and hidden gems (some of which you might not have access to alone). Some might be operating more remotely and simply be passionate about sharing their travel discoveries and unique experiences with you! The possibilities are up to you, choose what suits your style and customise it to suit your needs!

Do you have vacancies or employ Travel Creators?

No, we work with creators who have an audience and who want to grow to their own travel business. Please note that our only only official site is travelcreators.com and be aware of job ads impersonating travel businesses, we only post job openings on our official site or on our verified channels.

Our Travel Creators help you find off the beaten track adventures and experiences (that you may not have access to alone) as well as provide a personalised service. So with their help, you can fully customise and create trips that suit your needs and ultimate travel style. Let your Travel Creator deal with the details, so you can focus on what's really important - having the best time, relaxing and making incredible memories! After all, Holidays are supposed to be stress free right?

How can I trust the credibility of your Creators?

Travel Creators undergo a thorough vetting process before they can work on our platform. Some of the things we investigate during the process include identity and business verification, professional liability insurance and business documentation reviews to ensure that they are who they say they are and provide the services they claim to provide.

How do I know which Travel Creator to choose?

We know, with so many amazing options, it's tough to narrow it down to one creator. But we have some catchy filters that may help inspire and connect you with a Travel Creator that resonates with your personal style the most! Once you’ve found someone that catches your eye, you’ll work with them to turn your perfect trip into a reality. Think of it as a sort of “travel cupid”: Sometimes when you know, you just know.

How do I contact my Travel Creator?

Initially your first form of contact might be via the chat function, email or enquiry through the link on the platform. You may opt to continue using these methods or include Whatsapp to call easily. We do recommend that you keep all communication through the platform directly, this ensures that you receive the best experience.

How long will it take to hear back from my Travel Creator?

Although our Travel Creators may seem superhuman, they aren't within laptop/cellphone range 24/7! Please allow roughly 24-48 hours for a response. If, for some reason you’re experiencing any trouble - simply pop us an email mailto:travel@travelcreators.com and a member of our team will assist you!

What will my trip include?

Your trip can include anything you’d like it to. We’re all about you, as the traveller, having the freedom to fully customise your adventure to suit YOUR travel needs. But for an idea of the basics, each trip has its inclusions/exclusions/optional information listed at the bottom of the page! Or you can simply pop your Travel Creator a message to confirm what you need and what you would like to be included/removed from your next trip.

What if I want a trip for a longer period than the listing provided by a creator?

With Travel Creators, you can mix and match items/elements of a trip or chop and change them how you wish with your Travel Creator. They are not set in stone. Whereas other travel platforms sell set packages, the trips you book with Travel Creators can be customised to suit your interests, needs and travel style.

I’ve booked my trip, do I lose my Travel Creator?

Absolutely not! Your Travel Creator is there to support you throughout your entire travel process, from start to finish. They will be available via the platform, email, calls or whatsapp (some might even be with you during your travels, depending on what type of experience you’ve booked) to ensure your adventure lives up to your expectations and theirs.

      I would like my profile to come up under top Travel Creators, How can I get that done?

      
      There is a list of criteria we follow to select Top Creators. We consider things like the number of bookings and requests they have, traveller reviews, their profiles, etc. Just keep creating quality curated trips and doing your best to put together appealing listings, share with your audience to grow your travel business. Check out our how to guides in the creator tool for top tips.
      
      

      Do I have to live in or be from the country of the trips I plan and create?

      
      Absolutely not. While it’s easy to assume that planning trips in your native country is a good indication that you know it well and would be able to make knowledgeable recommendations, we know that you could also be an avid traveller who has been exposed to different destinations in your personal capacity. The point is for a Creator to be well-versed in the area they are planning trips for, able to find unique stays, attractions, short cuts and tips for navigating the area.
