ARE YOU PREPARED TO PROFIT FROM THE FASTEST GROWING SEGMENT IN THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY?
Or are you too busy chasing budget clients just to keep the lights on?
Consider these key market indicators...
According to AMR's Luxury Travel Market Outlook-2026, the global luxury travel market is expected to generate $1.614 trillion by 2026
Luxury cruise capacity has practically doubled since 2015 and luxury tour and hotel segments are also increasing capacity in order to keep up with the escalating demand.
While Baby Boomers between 51 and 69 years will dominate the luxury travel market for the next 10-15 years, the Millennial segment is projected to surge creating an escalating opportunity that is predicted to last for the next 20-25 years.
ARC's Global Luxury Travel Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2019-2024 predicts the luxury travel market will be the fastest-growing segment of the travel industry worldwide over the next decade
What Does All This Mean For You?
It means Luxury and Expedition Travel is the place to be for travel agents committed to taking their business to the next level. There's ample opportunity because it’s also the most underserved by travel agents.
According to Travel Weekly, the focus on selling luxury travel is DOWN as much as 9%!
Why is that?
Partly it's a lack of appreciation of the priorities of luxury travel clientele. Affluent travelers aren't looking for the cheapest seats and most popular tours. They want unique experiences PLUS quality accommodations and world-class service.
If travel agents aren't stepping up to fill those desires, affluent travelers are forced to book direct.
So if you dream of earning "commissions with commas," isn’t it time you got serious about mastering the sales strategies that win luxury travel clients?
Because to succeed with the affluent traveler, you need a systematic and proven plan of attack to capture their travel dollars...
And their valuable REFERRALS!
"My students get results because they commit to executing a sales strategy focused on developing an affluent segment as part of their business plan."
- Dan Chappelle, Founder - The Wealthy Travel Agent
What Dan’s students are saying about his programs:
“I took Dan Chappelle’s “Secrets to Selling the Affluent Traveler” this [past] fall...I have a marketing plan with some target markets that I would not have thought to prospect without Dan’s class. It was a great investment for my business and it’s already starting to pay dividends.”
- Starr Woldarski, Perrysburg, Ohio
“It was like a lightbulb turned on in my head. The way Dan speaks and teaches allowed everything to make sense to me...I am so excited to become a Luxury Travel Agent!”
- Amy Hamra, Austin, Texas
“Dan has a gift of explaining and illustrating [his method] that caused me to have a eureka moment! His course is worth the investment.”

“I almost went broke trying to break into the luxury travel market”
There’s is a lot more to it than hanging out a shingle (or website) and announcing to the world you’re in the luxury travel business. This market is unique and demanding and can easily book directly if their needs are not being met by their travel agent.
If you’ve ever tried to sell to the affluent traveler you might have already experienced this.
I know I did! But over time, I discovered the secrets of attracting and selling the affluent customer. After much trial and error, I finally created a system that saw my agency’s profits skyrocket!
What I had discovered took my agency to the next level...
Eventually, as Vice President of Sales at Windstar Cruises, I incorporated my secrets into adviser trainings that helped Windstar win Conde Nast’s 2014 Small Ship Cruise Line of the Year.
It took me years to achieve this kind of success. I tried so many different approaches, tweaked and honed my sales process, launched campaign after campaign, and refined my methods until it was consistent, dependable, and most of all, profitable.
And now I am sharing my exact system with you.
Forget about working for years to figure all of this out. Instead, you can skip all the sales calls and pitches that turned sour. Save the money you would have spent on marketing campaigns that flopped or fizzled.
All you have to do is click one of the buttons below and you’ll have immediate access to my powerful system as well as the training and personal guidance that ensures you’re able to implement everything with success.
“Everyone needs an experienced guide to successfully bring their business to the next level and in the travel business Dan Chappelle is the real deal."
