With the travel landscape evolving due to recent events, it’s crucial for us as travel agents to stay updated on new safety protocols. The implementation of enhanced health screenings at airports and increased travel insurance options are just a couple of examples of how the industry is adapting. I’d love to hear how everyone is incorporating these changes into their bookings and client advisories.
I’ve found that including links to updated safety resources in my emails has really helped clients feel more at ease. When clients see that I’m proactive, it builds trust. One thing I’ve noticed is that while enhanced screenings are great, not all airports are consistent, so I always double-check before booking.
I totally agree about the importance of keeping clients informed. I’ve started using real-time updates on health screenings when I send them itineraries. It’s surprising how much a small detail like that can ease their minds, especially nowadays. @emiller82, have you noticed if this approach impacts your bookings?
I’ve started sending out a quick checklist for clients before their trips — things like checking their health insurance coverage or the latest travel advisories. It’s like packing their bags, but for safety! @cevans19, have you tried anything similar?
