Why Us

The Art of Vacationing was founded in 2008 by Pam Keystone, a passionate world traveler and expert in points-based travel. The company’s mission is to help clients save money by using points and rewards to creatively offset travel costs. No other Travel Adviser offers these unique services, and The Art of Vacationing is proud to stand alone in offering them.

How did the concept come about? Pam had always been a frequent user of airline miles and travel reward programs. She also spent five years working for Marriott Vacation Club, getting to know the ins and outs of vacation ownership and rewards-point travel. In both of these capacities, she heard from many travelers who said they didn’t have the time or inclination to become proficient at maximizing the value of their travel points. Thanks to her firsthand experience, and insider knowledge of the system, she knew she could help.

Our mission: Our goal, every day and with every booking, is to create the highest level of travel experience for our clients by tapping into the best the industry has to offer. The Art of Vacationing is a full-service travel agency, and our team tirelessly researches exciting new destinations, properties and travel trends­­—everything from luxury river cruising and group tours to solo adventures.

We deliver the best. This is why The Art of Vacationing is a member of The Signature Travel Network, an elite group of travel advisors. Through this affiliation, The Art of Vacationing is able to extend exclusive offers and value-added benefits offered by premium cruise lines, luxury hotels and travel suppliers to its clients.
