Be specific about who you serve
A generalist is hard to refer. An advisor known for multi-generational Italy or first safaris is easy to recommend in one sentence — and that sentence is how referrals travel.
Be useful in public
Answer real questions where people already ask them. Useful beats frequent, and it ages far better than a feed full of destination photos.
Make referrals easy
Ask at the right moment, thank people properly, and make it obvious what kind of traveler you are looking for next.
