August 2020

As the sun beats down and the heat turns up, we fight for relief. However, this year, the heat is not the issue, it’s the pandemic that just won’t let its grip on the world release. 2020 is a year that is re-shaping our world and in the past 5 months, we all have had to adjust and adapt to the “new world” we find ourselves in. 

 

While the days seem to be on a sort of repeat, hope of the world opening up and becoming ours again is growing closer with every day. Keep positive, challenge yourself and do your part to get the COVID-19 pandemic behind us so we all can get back to exploring the world in which we live. 

 

While we look forward to the days of cruises, adventure and exploration with excitement, our August 2020 Issue of Travel Professional NEWS is sure to help you and your Travel business get stronger through these challenging times. Join our own Joanie Ogg and Diane Petras, CTIE and President of The Travel Institute for a wonderful discussion on the power of education and how The Travel Institute is stepping up to help our industry and Travel Professionals through these turbulent times. 

 

Next, Robert Siamon shares an open ended letter to you, the Travel Professional on the benefits that a Host Travel Agency like Incentive Connection Travel can offer. I had the opportunity to have a chat with Bill Coyle of KHM Travel Group and we got a chance to discuss some of the great things that KHM is doing to support their Travel Professionals as business begins to start moving once again.

 

Through these pages, you’ll find tools and information to not only educate and inform, but also to inspire and grow. We truly appreciate you spending some time in our August 2020 Issue and thank you for being the best part of Travel Professional NEWS. 

 

Be safe, kind and bold.
