Let’s be honest – nothing can quite compare to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour (we’re still recovering physically and emotionally, thanks). But if there’s one life that rivals the whirlwind, whiplash, and nonstop motion of a pop star on a world tour… It’s The Life of a Travel Advisor.
We may not be dancing in sequins under stadium lights, but our version of the show? It’s just as dazzling and every bit as unpredictable. While luxury vacations, wellness retreats, and corporate travel might steal the spotlight when you think of CIRE Travel, entertainment tour and production travel management keep us just as busy behind the scenes.
Our “set list” lately:
- Coordinating weekly travel for a legacy rock band
- Sending popular podcasters on tour
- Multi-city press tours for best-selling authors
- Handling every behind-the-scenes detail for producers, speakers, and creative teams who live life on the road
While we may not be orchestrating pyrotechnic effects, we do juggle:
- Flights, trains, private jets, and helicopters
- Ground transportation of every variety
- Hotel sourcing, contracting, rooming lists, payments, and pre-registration (for those who prefer to skip the front desk entirely)
- Airport meet-and-greets, private suites, and white-glove touches that make every traveler feel like a headliner
- Expense tracking and receipt wrangling worthy of a standing ovation
- Security arrangements to ensure our high-profile clients’ entrances and exits are smooth and discreet
If there’s one constant in tour and production travel, it’s CHANGES. Like any great performer, we keep the rhythm going through showtime switches, evolving rooming lists, and flight changes.
Our CIRE team knows the real magic of a tour isn’t just in the lights and the music. It’s in the logistics and the people behind them who make it all look effortless.
Here’s to the Life of a Showgirl (Travel Advisor Edition). Cue the confetti and maybe a flight change or two.
