The travel industry has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, but travel advisors are not simply sitting idle. As senior editor Jamie Biesada
discusses in this episode, advisors are working on proactive outreach
to clients, investing in training and preparing for travel's eventual
comeback.
In fact, the hardships travelers faced at the beginning of the
pandemic have highlighted the benefits of working with a travel
professional who can help travelers negotiate the altered landscape.
We're not yet seeing a mass closure of travel agencies, Biesiada
says; still, experts expect some fairly major consolidation among
agencies of all sizes. And, perhaps surprisingly, some people are
actively considering starting careers as travel agents.
