#87: How to Break into the Destination Wedding Travel Niche with Tami Santini

You know, so what makes destination wedding travel niche so attractive for entrepreneurs right now, other than being in Bora Bora and, you know...

The travel perks.

you know, earned by the sales and stuff that I had, like really just unforgettable memories for our family.

So I'm so blessed and grateful for being able to have those perks in the industry.

But really, to be honest with you, I think that what I'm seeing in the industry is that this is a niche market where couples still need handholding.

They still need handholding.

a person a real life person to assist them through this process because it's a personal decision and you know like here where we're planning a wedding traditionally in our area we're visiting the venues we're driving in our car we're going and we're meeting with the caterers we're tasting the food we're meeting with the photographer and seeing their work when you're doing a destination wedding you're not able to do those things like right out of the gate you kind of need to have somebody who's been there who can connect you with the right people and help you make the best decision based on your needs.

And so I think that's one of the reasons why it's, you know, kind of still relevant in today's world is that it's a specialty within, you know, the wedding and travel world and people need that.

So hopefully that answered the question.

No, it did.

And the biggest thing, too, is just you have to be the connector because a lot of these people are probably booking these resorts or whatever sight unseen, you know, just from photos online or videos online.

Right.

And that's.

Yeah.

You never know what you're going to get nowadays.

No, yeah.

So having someone like yourself that can go, no, you want to steer away from that place.

It looks pretty.

It's like me taking a picture of myself today because I got my hair done and my makeup on.

But is this what Tammy looks like on a daily? No.

No, it's not.

Work from home life, right?

I love it.

I know what you're saying.

I would say just because it is that specialty that you can kind of make your mark and you can book a business fast.
