December 2020

Welcome to Winter and an exciting turning point in our beloved Travel Industry! 2020 has been a year none of us will forget but with the changing seasons comes a new year of opportunity and hope. In this December issue of Travel Professional NEWS, we share our recent experience at the CruiseWorld Virtual Conference. While we missed the opportunity to be with friends, colleagues and Travel Professionals in person, it was a fantastic way to connect with our industry.

 

While CruiseWorld offered a great insight into the future of the Travel Industry, one overwhelming fact remains true and that is that it’s up to you, us and our industry to rebuild. The demand is overwhelmingly there. People want to vacation. People need a vacation and you, the Travel Professional, will be the curator to make it happen.

 

Join our good friend Michelle Fee, CEO & Founder of Cruise Planners for a great insight into the difference between a Host Travel Agency and a Travel Franchise. The difference is vast and as a business owner, it’s a great start into some questions you can ask yourself as we move forward.

 

Geoff Millar, the Ultimate All Inclusive master shares some continued insights into the Playa Resort All Inclusive offerings, making us all want to see these wonderful resorts in person one day soon. Join Tom Ogg for some amazing tips, tricks and insights into content marketing as a Travel Professional and how it can prove as a success in your marketing efforts.

 

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 December 2020 Issue and thank you for being the best part of Travel Professional NEWS.

 

Be safe, kind and bold.
