A few years back, we were all worried about losing our jobs and our careers because of the internet. Clients learned about Expedia and other “Online Travel Agencies” (OTA) and would no longer want to book with a travel advisor. There was so much fear in the travel industry that time, I was there, too.

We also have that fear right now in relevance to the widespread of the CoronaVirus however, it gives me great HOPE and camaraderie to see travel and tourism industries working hand in hand to ensure longevity. We all know that there will be some fallout and there will be struggling businesses; this isn’t going to be an easy few months ahead. This is the time that your business needs you the most.

This is the perfect time to strengthen your marketing strategies and to refresh your branding. In this episode, I will be talking about social proof and how this can create a big impact on your business and tips that you can do for your business in the present and also in future while facing these challenges, driving the negative into the positive light.
