Retail Travel

Nearly half of U.S. travelers who rarely or sometimes used travel advisors in the past said they were now more likely to use one post-pandemic, according to a research study conducted by the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA).

As the world reopens, consumers will turn to trusted advisors to help them navigate the new travel landscape. Agencies and the advisor community will solidify their position as the authority on travel by providing their clients with the expertise and guidance to confidently return to travel.

These advisors sell a diverse portfolio of products, including cruises, tours, lodging, destinations, air tickets and ground transportation. They are crucial to driving the success of global travel brands and services during this time of recovery.
