CHELAN - Ken Moore, a longtime Chelan entrepreneur, has launched Moore Travel, a luxury travel consultancy aimed at serving the specific needs of travelers in the Chelan Valley region.
The virtual agency, which opened January 3, focuses on providing personalized travel services ranging from short trips to round-the-world cruises. Moore, a Certified Travel Advisor (CTA) and Fora Travel Pro, brings specialized training in luxury leisure travel to the venture.
"It's always been a desire of mine to share my personal travel experiences and expertise with others who are on the go," Moore said. "Chelan is not the easiest place to travel to and from, so locals need to have some clever skills and reliable advice to manage the slim offerings."
Through affiliations with Virtuoso and Fora Travel in New York, Moore offers access to exclusive travel opportunities and real-time data not available to the general public. The agency provides comprehensive services including transportation booking, hotel reservations, restaurant arrangements, and specialized tour guides.
Moore cited a recent client's trip to France as an example of the agency's tailored approach. "I spent a fair amount of time getting to know their interests and then booked hotels, scheduled reservations at Michelin-rated restaurants, arranged private transfers, curated tours with outstanding activities reflecting their personal interests – not the jewelry stores and tourist traps common in foreign countries," he explained.
The agency offers assistance via text, email, and phone, with fees based on the time required for travel arrangements. Moore emphasized his availability for making real-time adjustments when travel complications arise.
Moore draws on his previous experience at Deep Water Electronics, where he designed custom entertainment systems, applying a similar personalized approach to travel planning.
