Travel Managers

Well, it’s been a while since I last communicated, primarily due to the fact that I have been exceptionally busy.

Busy making bookings for clients within Australia.

That may seem odd, however, Europe and the USA are operating as per normal. My clients tell me that airports are busy and people are adapting to their “new normal” lives.

And many people are already planning their 2022 Aussie Getaway.

Not to mention 2023 is already looking to be a busy year with International travel.

Hopefully, when our vaccination rates are up to the approved levels, we will all be on our way overseas.

I did mention how busy I have been over the past 6 – 8 weeks making holiday plans.

But also, the last month have been spent undoing those plans with date changes, managing rules re credits, refunds etc., and becoming an expert on the RED, GREEN and ORANGE zones.

Along with permits and quarantine requirements.

But I am remaining positive.

There is no other way to view Travel Agency life in this environment.

Keeping busy with training courses, updating my skills on new airline initiatives, vaccine passports etc.

Internationally for 2022 and 2023, I am booking many ocean and river cruises, not only for clients with Credit vouchers, but also clients ready to commit.

The need to have a holiday or plan is very important for our mental health.

I have many clients who want to be on the first flight out of Australia! I never realized how many of my clients have close family living overseas.

So if you are planning to travel here are a few tips to keep in mind:

1. Vaccinations – Will be critical for travel 2. Passports – The Passport Office is predicting huge delays later in the year – make sure yours is up-to-date.

3. Supply – Many people from other countries are already booking holidays for 2022 & 23, so book early or you may miss out on your favourite tour, cabin or itinerary.
