This month I found myself booking several hotels I’ve dreamed of sending clients to for years. Each trip wildly different, but all equally thrilling in their own way. 

 

It hit me how far Good Trips has come since I started it during a heavy lockdown in Spain…calling hotels I loved one by one to understand their needs, wondering if they’d take a chance on a young business with a lot of spirit, and sending endless surveys to anyone willing to share what wasn’t working in travel. The work has grown, the systems have grown, the partnerships have bloomed and expanded, and the spark feels stronger than ever.

 

October has been another record month and also one of the most thoughtful. I’ve been deep in client projects while carving out time to look ahead at what’s next for the GT Travel Studio: smarter tools, smoother booking, a marketplace for itineraries, and better experiences for travelers and the hotels that host them.

 

This month’s Travel Made Good reflects a little of that mix. You’ll find a few of the incredible hotels clients are checking into, the debut of our newest tech (Bookable Quotes, so good), and a look at where to stay for ski season in Europe. As always, I hope you enjoy reading cuddled in a comfy moment.

 

Big hugs,
🖤 Katy

 

 

You know the usual email thread when we’re narrowing booking options down? That just got so much tighter.

 

When you request a stay, whether it’s one you selected (Tailored Bookings) or one I curated for you (Curated Stays), I’ll now send a Bookable Quote link with the best hotels and room types for your trip. You can authenticate, review live rates, and book on your own time, from wherever you are.

 

Need a few days to decide? Your quote stays current with real-time pricing. When you check out, your loyalty numbers and payment details are stored securely in our vault. For many of you, this will be a game changer.

 

That means you can be sitting at a café on a Sunday afternoon, booking between cappuccino sips and flaky croissant bites.

 

After you book, you’ll still get all the Good Trips feelings… slower mornings because breakfast is already included, longer days because we got you late check out, a little more space to breathe with that upgrade, and guilt-free splurging at dinner.

 

Seamless tech. Personal service. Clients are already loving it.
