Alright, let’s talk about my latest gig as an entertainment experience travel coordinator. Sounds fancy, right? But trust me, it was a wild ride. So, I got this idea to plan entertainment trips after binging travel shows and thinking, “I can totally do that!”
Getting Started
First things first, I started by jotting down every crazy idea I had. I made lists of potential destinations, cool entertainment stuff like concerts and shows, and just generally brainstormed like a madman. Then, I reached out to a few friends who are really into music and theater to get their input. They helped me narrow down some ideas and gave me some insider tips – you know, like which venues are actually worth it and which ones to avoid.
Building the Plan
With a rough plan in place, I started putting together a few sample itineraries. I spent hours researching flights, hotels, and ticket prices. Let me tell you, comparing prices and availability across multiple websites is a real headache. I even created a massive spreadsheet to keep track of everything. It felt like I was planning a small invasion, not a fun trip. Some articles are saying the salary could range from $40,000 to over $90,000!
Test Run
Before offering this to actual clients, I decided to do a test run with a group of friends. We picked a weekend, booked everything, and headed out. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, of course. We faced some unexpected issues like a canceled show, a mix-up with the hotel reservation, and some seriously delayed flights. It was a bit stressful, but we managed to sort it out and still had a blast. Some people are saying the average salary is about $76,000, others are reporting around $51,000. But hey, it’s the experience that counts, right?
Making it Real
- After the test run, I tweaked the itineraries based on the feedback I got.
- I spent more time refining the process, finding better deals, and building relationships with some vendors.
- I created a simple website to showcase the trips and started promoting it on social media.
- Slowly but surely, I started getting inquiries and bookings.
The Outcome
It’s been a lot of work, but seeing people enjoy the trips I planned is super rewarding. I’m still learning and improving, but it’s been an amazing experience. Each trip I plan feels like a new adventure, and I get to be a part of someone’s awesome vacation. From what I’ve seen online, the range is usually between $41,411 and $140,000 in the US, depending on experience and location. So yeah, that’s my journey to becoming an entertainment experience travel coordinator. It’s definitely not your typical 9-to-5, but it’s way more exciting!
