Travel is important because it broadens our perspectives, exposes us to new cultures, and helps us grow personally by stepping outside our comfort zones while showing us the world in different perspectives. Travel and new experiences create lasting memories and friendships by immersing us in unique moments that stay with us long after the journey ends.

LARS FEDERHAR
My passion for travel, combined with nearly two decades of experience in the hospitality industry, has allowed me to build meaningful, long-lasting relationships all over the world. These connections are at the heart of what sets me apart as a travel professional.
Before founding my agency in January 2016, I spent several years as a Regional Business Development Manager for Sandals and Beaches Resorts. In that role, I had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the Caribbean, Mexico, and the United States. I worked hands-on with travel advisors across the country, helping them grow their businesses by providing sales training, marketing strategies, and destination expertise.
That experience gave me an insider’s view of the travel industry—and a deep understanding of what travelers are truly looking for. More importantly, it opened my eyes to how I could take those skills and relationships and use them to serve clients in a more personal and impactful way.
When I launched my agency, I did so with a vision: to create customized travel experiences that are seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable. My clients aren’t just booking trips—they’re creating memories, and I take that responsibility seriously. Because of my professional background and the strong relationships I’ve built with travel partners across the globe, I’m able to offer exclusive perks, tailored itineraries, and trusted recommendations that can’t be found in a simple online search.
What makes me different from a typical travel advisor is not only my insider knowledge, but my genuine commitment to creating one-of-a-kind journeys that reflect your style, interests, and dreams—while saving you valuable time and money.
ELEVATED EXPERIENCES, EXCEPTIONAL FEEDBACK
  • Lars had expressed his experience and recommendations from our first conversation. He relayed all the ins and outs and assisted according to our wants and needs. There were no hiccups, and everything booked through Lars team worked out perfect! Truly exceptional job organizing our dream wedding travel!!

  • We just returned from a few days in Cabo San Lucas. It was an extraordinary trip. Lars made the trip especially special because of all the work he did up-front to organize it, up to and including the day before we left. The entire all-inclusive experience at Secrets in Cabo required only 2-3 phone calls with Lars discussing our thoughts. He listened carefully to our desires, proposed Secrets in Cabo instead of other locations I was considering. He made all arrangements with the property and with the airline as well as transportation to and from the airport in Cabo. He had other suggestions for things to see while in Cabo, but we decided to just enjoy Secrets. So happy we did. We are now planning our next trip and would never do so without using Lars.

  • Lars worked diligently to provide the needed prices and deals for our group of 22. This was our 1 time to come together and celebrate with family and friends as we had many different milestones this year. This was no small feat. We all live around the US and different time zones. Lars was willing to take our calls and our varied questions and get back to us each individually. The ages varied as did the cabin needs of our large group. Lars patiently worked with each of our family units, to ensure we had what we needed for the price we could afford. We all have our own secular jobs, or needing to navigate through different travel websites it would take so much time and effort, and frustration. Lars knows what he is looking for, which sites are the best to visit with the best prices and best options. He is able to make better deals for those he represents, plus he is willing to make and take the time to work with a large group. Thank you Lars! Sincerely, Garrilee and Jeff

  • Most people think that they don’t need a professional travel agent. After all, we can book everything online. On the recommendation of my son, I started working with Lars Federhar, owner of Alternative Travel Services (ATS). He has been planning my business and personal travel for almost a year. In addition to the obvious benefit of saving time, his experience as a seasoned traveler himself comes into play on most of my trips. He has in-depth knowledge of the travel and hospitality industry, as well as insights into activities and places to eat and drink in most major cities. The real value of a travel agent becomes apparent when your plans go awry. Lars has helped me navigate cancelled flights, delays and lost luggage, as well as upgrades at hotels. I can get on with my work while Lars works through my travel issue and provides me with options for resolution. I heartily recommend ATS and Lars.
