“Can you set it up so that the whales jump in the background at the same time I’m proposing to my girlfriend?”
“Can you ask the airline to block the seat next to me so I can stretch out?”
“Will you watch my pet while I’m away?”
Believe it or not (although, we’re sure you do!), these are actual questions travel agents have been asked, according to the American Society of Travel Agents. And while you may not have the answers to the above-mentioned queries, you are required to know the ins and outs about organising flights and booking accommodation for people’s dream holidays or important business trips. Many people see you as the link between them and a stress-free and an efficient-as-possible travel experience.
That said, travel agents have had their fair share of challenges. With the Internet age came an influx of direct-to-consumer websites that threatened to make travel agents redundant. After just a few clicks, people can book flights and accommodation without leaving their homes. Although, travellers quickly learned that while these websites may be convenient portals for the quick solo flight, cutting out the proverbial middleman for complicated corporate and/or group travel trips can quickly become a logistical nightmare. Then, of course, the pandemic also changed the travel landscape, and with that change came added customer demands, administrative challenges and performance pressures, right?
As a travel agent, you’ve been through a lot. An ever-evolving industry rife with uncertainties is not easy to navigate. However, some things don’t change: you are an essential part of the travel and tourism industries.
Global Accommodation understands the inner workings of your world, and it is our mission to offer travel agents smart, integrated accommodation and land arrangement solutions that make your life a little easier because you deserve it. While we won’t be able to help you choreograph a pod of whales to help make a marriage proposal that much more special (read: Instagrammable), here’s what we can do.
