Design Yourself for Travel Advisors
Build a Travel Brand People Remember.
Your host agency gives you the tools to sell travel. We help you build the personal brand that gives travellers a reason to choose you.
You already have access to destinations, suppliers and booking tools. The opportunity is to build something around those tools that feels unmistakably yours.

The real challenge
You know how to sell travel. The challenge is giving people a reason to choose you.
Independent travel advisors have suppliers, booking tools and often a ready-made agency website. But travellers aren’t choosing a booking engine. They are choosing a person.
Looking like everyone else
A replicated agency page is useful functionality, but it rarely says what makes you different from the thousands of advisors using the same system.
Social media leads somewhere generic
You build relationships on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn, then send interested travellers to a corporate destination that no longer feels like you.
Your expertise stays hidden
Your destination knowledge, travel specialty and point of view are business assets. They should be visible before the first conversation.
A better path
Put your personal brand between attention and booking.
Your host agency can remain behind the business. Your personal brand becomes the experience people see first.
Before
Attention arrives, then leaves.
- Social Media
- Generic Agency Website
- Distraction
- Lost Opportunity
After
Attention lands somewhere that belongs to you.
- Social Media + Google + Networking + Referrals
- Your Personal Travel Brand
- Story + Specialty + Expertise + Travel Insights
- Qualified Inquiry
- Existing Booking Infrastructure
What we build
A professional home for the business built around your name.
One clear place that explains who you are, who you help and what makes your approach to travel different — the destination behind your social media, referrals, networking, email signature and content.
POSITION
Who you serve, which travel specialty you're known for, and why you're different.
BUILD
Your personal brand and a professional digital home that belongs to your own name.
ATTRACT
Content, search visibility and social presence that lead somewhere that is yours.
CONVERT
Turning attention, referrals and interest into conversations and inquiries.
Whether you’re known for river cruising, active travel, luxury celebrations, family travel, adventure travel or another specialty, your niche gives people something to remember you for.
Your host agency provides the tools and booking infrastructure. Design Yourself Launch is the managed personal brand and website that belongs to you — built and maintained for you, not rented from anyone. Explore Design Yourself Launch →
Built around what you already have
Your host agency powers the travel business. Your personal brand gives people a reason to choose you.
Host agencies, suppliers and booking infrastructure can stay exactly where they are — behind the scenes. Your customer-facing brand owns the part they were never designed to handle: positioning, story, expertise, content, relationships and community.

PEDAL & PORT shows how a travel advisor can build a recognizable niche brand around a defined audience and point of view, while existing travel and booking infrastructure stays behind the scenes.
Who you'd be working with
Meet Eric.
I’ve spent more than 30 years helping people grow — through teaching, coaching, leadership and building things from nothing.
Design Yourself applies that experience to independent professionals building something of their own. Every engagement starts the same way: a conversation, then a structured Discovery. No templates, no scripts.
