048 - A completely different business model for travel agents
Listen now
Description
Our world is never going to be the same, and that is especially true about the travel industry, and travel agents specifically. The way we think about and run our business has GOT to change if we want to continue helping our clients have amazing vacations. But if you keep doing things in your business the way you've always done them, and the way EVERYONE has done them, for decades and decades, your business won't survive. Elizabeth de Quillacq, from Souvenir and Far, shares the unconventional way she started and runs her agency, that not only prevented her from losing money during covid, but has allowed her business to thrive. It's a model we can all learn a lot from.
