This week, I'm joined by Veranda Adkins – founder of Travel Legacy, a high-end travel agency, and the Association of Black Travel Professionals, an organization dedicated to the development of Black travel agents.  Together we first discuss the latest trending news in travel, including FAA grounding Boeing planes, winter storm impacting flights and more.  Later, Adkins and I dive into what we can expect from travel in 2024. She also shares her top advice for travel advisors to grow their business in 2024.  The discussion on 2024 travel trends begins after the 16-minute mark.  Today’s episode sponsor: Travel Agent Academy Travel Agent Academy provides you with the most advanced, interactive travel agent training available today on products sure to both impress and protect your clients – from popular destinations to top resorts around the world plus cruises and comprehensive travel insurance. The award-winning content is designed to help you learn and retain information in fun and interactive ways, and help increase bookings by empowering you to sell as a specialist.
