Tropical Destination Specialist

 John Fontaine – Tropical Destination Specialist at Tropical Destination Vacations

Welcome to the vibrant world of exotic travelers that tantalize the senses and rejuvenate the spirit. I am John Fontaine, your resolute Tropical Destination Vacations Specialist, committed to curating unforgettable travel experiences that resonate with adventure, relaxation, and authenticity.

With seventeen (17) years of experience in the travel industry, I have developed a profound passion for exploring the unparalleled beauty of tropical destinations around the globe. My journey in this field has armed me with deep insights into the unique cultures, serene landscapes, and diverse ecosystems that these paradise spots offer.

At Tropical Destination Vacations, we believe every journey should be unique for our travelers. Whether you are setting sail to the azure waters of the Caribbean, exploring the lush rainforest of Costa Rica, or indulging in the pristine sandy beaches of the Maldives, my mission is to ensure that your vacation not only meets but exceeds your wildest dreams.

Expertise and Personalization

I specialize in personalizing, individual, family and group travel plan that cater to your specific interest. I customize adventure sports like snorkeling and scuba diving, luxury spa retreats, historic learning trips or cultural tours that offer profound insights into local heritage. My approach combines firsthand experiences, client feedback, and extensive research to provide you with a journey that is as seamless as it is enriching.

I assist people with their travel plans by listening to their preferences and budget. Asking questions to understand their interests, such as beach vacations, cultural experiences, or adventure trips. Then, I suggest destinations that align with their preferences. Provide them with options like all-inclusive resorts, guided tours, or solo travel itineraries. I use my knowledge and resources to create personalized travel packages that cater to their needs. And of course, I am always ready to offer recommendations and tips to make their trip unforgettable.

MY Travel Experience

I travel for so many reasons. Traveling allows me to experience new cultures, try different cuisines, meet new people, and see breathtaking sights. It also helps broaden my perspective, reduce stress, and create lasting memories. Whether it is relaxing on a beautiful beach, exploring bustling cities, or going on exciting adventures, traveling brings me joy and enrichment to my life. Travel is a wonderful way to break my routine and discover the beauty of the world.

As a result, I encourage clients to talk about the type of travel experience they are looking for. Are they considering a beach getaway, a cultural exploration, an adventure trip, or something else entirely? Let me know so I can help you plan an amazing travel experience.

John Fontaine Assist clients in the following ways.·   

  • Customizing exciting itineraries for clients.        
  • Clients overcome common obstacles with flight delays or cancellations.
  • Clients overcome language barriers in foreign countries.
  • Clients with lost luggage and other common issues.
  • Unexpected weather conditions throw a wrench on travel plans.
  • Last minute itinerary changes

Advocacy

As a travel consultant, I have a unique opportunity to be an advocate for travel. One way is by sharing my own travel experiences with my clients. I talk about my adventures and the impact they have had on me. I hope to inspire others to explore new destinations and cultures. In addition, I was an advocate for travel at ASTA Legislative Day in 2020. I lobbied on Capitol Hill in Washington DC with my fellow travel consultants. In this way I can help change issues that affect the travel industry. I am hoping to continue to lobby with ASTA in the future thereby making a difference representing the travel community. I am sure Tropical Destination Vacations will make this possible soon. Overall, I am an enthusiastic and knowledgeable Travel Consultant who goes the extra mile for my clients. I am a strong advocate for travel and help others see the value and joy of exploring the world.

Vacation was second to none

Reviewed By Flyn E - Orlanda, FL | Traveled to St. Martin ~ Caribbean
We booked a vacation package to Curacao using Tropical Destination Vacations and the service we received was second to none. We initially inquired on hotels rates but were pleasantly surprised to find out that the packages included airfare and car rental as well. John with Jadd Fong Travel was very helpful in ensuring that we got the best possible prices and when we arrived at the Marriott Beach Resort everything was in order. We would highly recommend Tropical Destination Vacations to friends and family members and plan to call on their expertise in the not too distant future.

Cruise on Oasis of the Sea

Reviewed By Shirley G - Albuquerque, NM | Traveled to Caribbean
My husband and I recently booked a cruise on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas using Jadd Fong Travel in May. The service was exemplary! All required information was sent in a timely fashion and the customer service was superb. Hence, my husband and I did not experience any glitches and we had a fantastic time. I would like to thank Jadd Fong Travel for helping me realize my ideal vacation. I would definitely recommend them to other clients.

Thanks to Tropical Destination Vacations

Reviewed By Kathleen J - Toronto, Canada | Traveled to Dominica ~ Caribbean
I have utilized the services of Tropical Destination Vacations twice in the last couple of months. They were so good the first time - I had to come back. I was scheduled to travel to a destination without an international airport, and needless to say, it was incredibly difficult to get flights. However, John at Tropical Destination Vacations worked with me, constantly monitoring flights, to make sure that I not only got to my destination, but I did so at a cost that was reasonable. I know there are lots of online services you can use to book flights, but nothing beats having a live person to talk too - a person who understands both your needs and concerns, and is more than willing to help. I will use them again, and again. Thanks Jadd Fong Travel, see you when I'm planning to travel again!!!!!!!!
