The panel delves into what these rules actually mean for travel agents and break down the widespread confusion regarding whether agents are being forced to disclose all their supplier partners on social media and window cards. Are these new rules really as big a problem as many in travel fear or has it all all been blown out of proportion? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Has America Lost Its Appeal? (and is it all Donald Trump’s fault?)

    The latest episode of Unpacked by TTG explores the decline in travel and tourism to the USA, and whether the World Cup, kicking off on June 11, can stimulate demand to a country which has seen a significant slow down in interest from numerous markets. But why is this? Is it really all the fault of Donald Trump – is the Trump Slump real? Or are there other factors at play? And how can travel agents and tour operators help to reignite interest in what still remains one of the world's most unique destinations...? Listen as Guy Novik, CEO of USAirtours and Travel Counsellor Jamie Evans offer their take alongside hosts TTG Editor-in-Chief Sophie Griffiths and Head of Partner Content Madeleine Barber.

    Fam Trips: Does Every Agent Really Deserve One?

    With some travel agents reporting fewer fam trip opportunities and operators under increasing pressure to prove return on investment, Editor-in-Chief Sophie Griffiths and TTG Luxury Reporter Emma Dooney ask whether every travel seller should still expect access to educational trips — or whether their eligibility needs a rethink. Joining the discussion are luxury travel advisor Duncan Greenfield-Turk, who recently sparked debate by arguing not all agents should be entitled to fams, and Andy Flynn, who brings a fresh perspective, having only been in the industry a year who argues fams are invaluable for learning.
