Quite a few took advantage of the pandemic to work not from home but from anywhere. Resorts and hotels in destinations worldwide pitched themselves as alternatives for workers and families who were locked down in their houses and apartments.
All eyes are on the travel industry, and we are waging a yearlong battle with not only our own health but the health of our clients, our travel agencies and our supplier partners. As a former employee of a major cruise line, and a current travel agency owner, I wanted to take a moment to voice my concern with the lack of progress we are making in the cruise sector and the CDC during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The tourism industry in the United States has been devastated across the board. The emergence of each sector from the grips of this outbreak will mean we are going to change from a reduction mode to a hiring mode in ways we haven’t seen before. With so many segments affected, we have the opportunity to evaluate and action plans to attract, hire, and keep a diverse range of travel advisors.
Even as COVID-19 cases continue to surge across the U.S. this autumn, Americans appear to be going ahead with planning their 2020 wintertime and holiday travels. According to the LuggageHero October Travel Sentiment Monitor's findings, almost half (45 percent) of Americans are still planning to travel this winter.
Hosts Eric Bowman and Dan Callahan discuss the latest trending topics in the travel industry, including the rise in 2021 cruise bookings, new travel trends and more.
Later, the two are joined by Stephen Scott of TravelHub365 as he shares his insights on what the future of luxury travel will be like, as well as current destinations to experience luxury travel, both domestically and internationally.
"This has been an incredibly challenging time for travel companies," says Stephen Scott, a travel advisor with Protravel International. "Since the beginning of the year, revenues and staffing have been decimated. We spent endless hours canceling and rescheduling everything from large corporate events, to business trips, then family vacations and entire wedding parties."
