www.lux-review.com Page 31 LUX 2022 Travel & Tourism Awards In her time as a PA to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Tiffany Bowne travelled extensively. An expert in arranging luxury travel and ‘making things happen’, in 2008 Tiffany founded Lounge Couture. The boutique travel agency arranges personal and corporate travel for clients seeking services of the highest quality. Lounge Couture Best Lifestyle & Travel Management Concierge Service - Southern California Jan22330 Based in Southern California, boutique travel agency, Lounge Couture, designs bespoke travel experiences in the luxury travel sector. The company caters for groups of all sizes. Its international client base includes CEO’s, entrepreneurs, and high-profile families. Company founder, Tiffany Bowne tells us, “There’s often a crossover with our clients. They ask us to arrange a personal trip and then want that same level of service for their company and executives or vice versa. Our client base is built on referrals. We develop a relationship with our clients that extends far beyond the first trip they take with us.” Lounge Couture takes the time to get to know each client. This enables the company to curate travel based on individual personalities, desires and expectations. The Lounge Couture staff and in-house travel advisors are knowledgeable and well-travelled. Tiffany explains more, “We have our finger on the pulse of travel protocols and trends. It’s not just a job to us, we’re passionate about travel. Not only that, but we’re all obsessed with the details and are masters at multi-tasking and working under pressure. We want every client to have the best time possible and we work hard to bring together all the pieces to create the ultimate experience for them.” Seeking out the expertise of an experienced travel advisor has never been more essential. Navigating the pros and cons of travel insurance, understanding cancellation terms, entry requirements and choosing tour operators and hotels that are financially secure. These are some of the areas in which the advice of an expert can be invaluable. Over the last two years, many travel professionals have seen increased engagement with their clients, not only to find the perfect trip but also to help protect the client’s money should their circumstances change. We ask Tiffany about how the current climate has impacted Lounge Couture and she says, “We’ve had to be very resourceful in finding alternative options for travellers. It’s put our buying power and international relationships to the test when it mattered most. We’ve helped our clients navigate cancellations and arrange credits and refunds. With the amount of time that goes into every trip right now I can’t imagine someone organising a trip without a travel professional. We act as a kind of security blanket that our clients love having.” Lounge Couture is planning some exciting collaborations for 2022. In partnership with destinations and hotels, the company has developed travel influencer trips that combine fashion, wellness and music with travel. Tiffany has added a shoppable ‘packing list’ by destination platform to the company website and has enlisted the help of fashion stylists to assist with planning for trips too, “Leading stylists can take an itinerary and use it to shop and pack for clients, either virtually or in person. This is the ultimate travel luxury right now.” Contact: Tiffany Bowne Company: Lounge Couture Web Address: https://loungecouture.com/
