May 2019

As the temperatures rise and the days get longer with light, it’s a great time to make the most of working from home. Whether it’s working a bit at night to enjoy a day outside or working through the weekends to enjoy an uncrowded outing during the week, take the time this May and enjoy the amazing benefits of being your own boss and running your own business as a Travel Professional.

 

We are excited to share some fantastic resources, tools and information with you in this recent issue of Travel Professional NEWS including a fantastic look into Travel Planners International as a Host Travel Agency and how they help your business grow, all while keeping your brand, identity and business just how you like it.

 

We then are joined by VAX VacationAccess for some fantastic insights into 4 Powerful Tools that VAX can offer you as a Travel Professional. Additionally, I was able to speak with Bill Coyle of KHM Travel Group about Developing Confidence through Travel Agent Education, a topic that should not be overlooked. 

 

We then are joined by our own Joanie Ogg for a recent Hot Topic in TravelProfessionalCommunity.com regarding your best client, wanting to be a Travel Agent and how Travel Agents have addressed the inquiry from clients. Lastly, make sure to dive into Bob Hornal’s insights into Millennial travel and how it’s already having some effects throughout the tourism industry.

 

As you move through the pages of this May Issue, you’ll find many opportunities to learn and grow your Travel Agency to new heights because in all honesty, that is what we want for you, success and growth as a Travel Professional! We hope this latest issue finds you, your family and your business well.

 

Thank you for being the best part of Travel Professional NEWS and we appreciate your time, comments and support.
