Did you know that there’s a national day in America dedicated to celebrating Travel Advisors? And that that glorious day is in TODAY (May 1)?
President and CEO of the American Society of Travel Advisors Zane Kerby shared the vital message that today’s Travel Advisors aren’t intermediaries.
“They are trusted advisors — akin to financial planners and CPAs — whose knowledge allows them to navigate a complex array of suppliers to maximise value for their clients,” he said.
Yes, Zane knows what’s up! Being a Travel Advisor is so much more than meets the eye…and at times much more than the public gives them credit for.
“Our yearly consumer research makes clear: travel advisors make the experience better! Happy Travel Advisor Day!”

To mark the occasion the American Society of Travel Advisors suggests that Travel Consultants “harness the power of social media by sharing meaningful, insightful stories and tagging #TravelAdvisorDay“.
We’re loving some of the slogans accompanying the day too like “Because you want to go where you can’t google” and “Travel Advisor: The original Travel Hack”.
