With Summer coming to an end and the shining sun settling into the horizon earlier and earlier, we embark on our next adventure as an industry. The 2020 year has been a challenge to many of us, but with turbulent times comes phenomenal opportunity. Will you be ready to take hold of them as they come?
In our October 2020 Issue of Travel Professional NEWS, we are first joined by Mary Pat Sullivan who shares the official announcement and details of CruiseWorld 2020. Due to the ongoing pandemic, CruiseWorld will be virtual this year and while we will miss connecting and seeing our amazing colleagues and friends at the event, we are excited to participate with the conference on this exciting new platform.
Moving forward from this year is just as crucial as it is to survive it. Jenn Lee, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Travel Planners International shares some inspiration in the “Fiercely Forward Formula” segment that should not be missed.
Join our great friend Geoff Millar for an in depth look at Ateller All Inclusive line and make sure to join The Travel Institute for an insightful piece regarding the future of the Travel Advisors role. While that role may be changing, it will be just as crucial as ever before.
Lastly, Tom Ogg shares some fantastic insights to improve your marketing with Key Word Domains and a great article about the power of running affiliate marketing. I was able to join Suzy Schreiner for a great chat about the success she has been having using Social Media in locking in future bookings and gaining new interest. Just because the times are challenging, doesn’t mean that business is not out there!
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 October 2020 Issue and thank you for being the best part of Travel Professional NEWS.
Be safe, kind and bold.
