Founded by Niki Rakowitz, an entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience in the travel industry, the company specializes in curating elevated travel experiences that resonate with clients’ personal aspirations and dreams.

Luxury Travel with a Soulful Touch
At the core of Niki Rakowitz Collective is CARE Travel, a luxury agency dedicated to offering more than just extravagant vacations. CARE Travel designs meaningful, personalized experiences where clients’ values and stories are intricately integrated into every itinerary. This personalized approach has fostered long-lasting relationships with clients, many of whom return not just for travel planning, but for transformation and connection.
One of the standout offerings, the CT Signature Collection, blends Rakowitz’s industry expertise with strategic partnerships with luxury brands such as Four Seasons, Belmond, and Virtuoso. These partnerships allow Rakowitz to provide unparalleled luxury, ensuring each journey is infused with personalization, warmth, and emotional resonance.
Empowering Travel Advisors: The CARE Experience Academy
In addition to her luxury travel services, Rakowitz has turned her attention to empowering other travel advisors through The CARE Experience Academy. This mentorship program, based on her CARE framework—Clarity, Alignment, Results, and Elevation—guides aspiring advisors in building businesses that align with their values while maintaining integrity and heart.
The Academy’s signature course, The Signature Journey, takes new travel advisors from passion to profit by teaching them how to create meaningful, profitable travel experiences. With Rakowitz’s mentorship, advisors learn how to avoid industry pitfalls and adopt principles that have propelled her own success.
