There’s nothing like big face-to-face business events to strategise, share insights and have a little fun along the way. Travellers Choice recently had five of them, across the country, to discuss the future of the group and the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead for the travel industry more broadly.
The Travellers Choice Member Meetings, held across five state capitals, gave member shareholders the chance to talk shop on the issues impacting independent travel agents and help shape the group’s strategy moving forward.
On the table at this year’s events were a range of topics, including economic trends, recruitment, airline capacity, retail sector consolidation, cybersecurity and sustainability.
“Members also explored the potential impact of emerging technologies such as ChatGPT and ways in which independent travel businesses could stay ahead of the curve,” said Travellers Choice managing director Christian Hunter, who co-hosted the event with chair Trent Bartlett.
“As always, the aim of our Member Meetings is not only to keep members informed. It’s also to provide a relaxed forum in which the Travellers Choice Board and management team can listen and ensure we are doing all we can to support our members fulfil their own growth strategies.
“Just as importantly, members value them as an opportunity to come together and enjoy the unique culture and unrivalled collegiality for which Travellers Choice is rightly renowned.”
