A9: Internet being the biggest competitor is open 24/7 – showing clients the value of booking with an agent - JB #TWchats
KHMTravel
A9: One big challenge in 2019 has been the media reports about tourist deaths in the Dominican Republic. We stay connected to industry and destination reps, and help our agents understand how to communicate with their clients about this issue.

A9: The biggest travel challenges in any year are things beyond the agent's control ... Cuba travel restrictions returning, media reports about safety in Mexico/Dominican Republic/etc, airplane models being grounded ... Staying informed and educating clients is key!

A9: Getting off the beaten path, as more and more paths get so beaten, so comodified. Finding ways to fall into the slipstream of local life, feel like you’ve actually been there, not in an expertly crafted hologram #TWchats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A9- We’ve spent the last 50 years building the adventure travel market and connecting with like-minded travel advisors, and we’re excited to continue forging new paths. Change is good, but change is also the unknown and it’s critical to have talented advisors by our side #TWChats

A9 The unknown is always an issue in our business....weather, politics, security, strikes....we're always planning around the unknown #TWchats

A9: We continue to challenge ourselves to find new and exciting itineraries for you and your clients. Did you hear we’re back in Glacier Bay National Park for the first time in over 20 years? #TWchats via @TWtravelnews

@TWtravelnews A9: Lina's challenge in 2019 was to help her clients with a #DR trip b/c of the constant bad news there. She spoke to the hotel to make sure staff was available 24/7 and got them a spa day - they came back happy, healthy + safe!

A9: The Sargassum in Mexico has been a challenge for us as we prepare our clients for the best beach experience. Qualifying the clients to find out what's most important for their stay helps us find the ideal resort for them (beach vs. pool) #TWchats

A9- I stopped working to concentrate on my website. Taking that leap has put a dent in the old travel budget

A9. Dealing with travel disruptions -from the abrupt cancellation of cruises to Cuba, to the reduced number of flights due to Boeing jets being pulled out of service.
Patience is the only solution! And trip protection insurance! #TWchats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A9: misunderstandings on behalf of clients as to true costs of travels (expecting miracle prices for expensive locations) - I combat this by being educated on typical budgets so that I can immediately educate the client and see if there is a way to satisfy them #TWchats
