A travel agent for billionaires warns of a major error that can lead to significant disappointment during your vacation.

Sienna Charles, founded by Jaclyn Sienna India, is a members-only travel agency that specializes in catering to wealthy clients who take million-dollar trips worldwide.

Wall Street titans, tech VIPs, and Hollywood tycoons with high standards and endless resources are among India's clients.

Billionaires and everyday travelers alike often make the same mistake when planning vacations: selecting destinations based on their popularity on social media rather than personal preferences.

"India advises CNBC Make It that people should stop following trends and prioritize their heart, as over-tourism can destroy popular destinations if everyone rushes to the same place. There's a vast world to explore beyond the crowd."

Her clients often feel "disappointed" after following her "billionaire's calendar," which involves traveling to popular destinations like Europe in the summer and Aspen in the winter. When a client expresses a desire to visit a major European city during the summer, India questions the reasoning behind this choice, pointing out that it is likely to be crowded with tourists.

To avoid the "celebritization of travel," India advises people to steer clear of the "typical means" and instead focus on experiencing the country's unique culture and beauty. Instead of trying to replicate the trips of celebrities like Beyonce or Jeff Bezos, vacationers should aim to create their own authentic travel experiences that they can share on social media. This approach is more meaningful and soulful.

Many individuals are photographing locations on behalf of others, but they're not documenting the place for their own memories.

Visit destinations that align with your interests and enhance your perspective.
