If there is one sector in Australia and in fact globally that has gone through the grinder and absolutely devastating ruin as a result of COVID-19, then it has to be travel agencies, with as a result of Australia’s international borders closing, hundreds upon hundreds of the familiar high street travel agencies we are used to seeing closing their doors and many thousands of travel agents being laid off and forced to seek other jobs
While that is truly devastating, perhaps it is an additional indicator of that the day of the traditional bricks and mortar order taker travel agent is over and a new model needs to take centre stage.
So, whether you are a travel agent, elsewhere in the travel industry, doing something else, laid off or a consumer, you may be asking what that new model is?
The interesting thing I discovered is that this new model has been around for some time with savvy consumers already and for some time, booking their travel with their own personal travel consultant or travel advisor who are home-based and working within networks for example the top one in Australia, TravelManagers Australia.
So, I took the opportunity recently to learn more about the home-based travel network TravelManagers Australia, by having a chat with the Executive General Manager of TravelManagers Australia, Michael Gazal [pictured] and his senior management team, asking them about the company and what it did, and why consumers should consider booking their travel with a TravelManagers Australia Personal Travel Manager, and also very importantly, why travel agents and others should consider becoming a TravelManagers Australia Personal Travel Manager.
What was particularly interesting was discovering that TravelManagers Australia Personal Travel Managers is very much like a family, with amazing networks having been created between Personal Travel Managers all over Australia, with Michael rather like the father of a very big family!
So, before you check out what Michael Gazal and his senior management team had to tell me, perhaps the best way to think of a TravelManagers Australia Personal Travel Manager is how you would think of a personal trainer or financial planner, because like them your TravelManagers Australia Personal Travel Managers is there simply to help you achieve your travel goals, with whether you’re travelling for business or for fun, your TravelManagers Australia Personal Travel Managers will work closely and personally with you to create a tailor-made trip that’s as individual as you are.
