Ladies and gentleman, this is a people business…
That phrase has become a bit of a motto of mine during my tenure leading TravelPulse. We are a lot of things here at travAlliancemedia: a travel company, a media company, a sales company, an internet solutions company, a training company and so much more.
However, when I look at who this company is and what we hope to do for the travel agent community and travel suppliers, I always settle on viewing us first and foremost as a people business.
That message was never any clearer for me than at the 2018 Travvy Awards.
Roughly 300 of travel's finest professionals gathered at Gotham Hall in New York City to celebrate travel's best, as voted by travel agents-the people who know travel the most. It was my first time at the event and I (like many in attendance) was amazed by the size and scope of the event.
From the voting process to the venue itself, it was an honor to be associated with such an awesome event.
That said, I was equally as floored by the connections being made throughout the evening.
These people love each other.
At TravelPulse, we're not just here to churn out the day's news or good content. We do that in spades, yes, but that's not what we're here for. We are, at our core, a people company-here to serve travel agents and suppliers and ultimately to ensure people across the globe travel, travel more and travel more enjoyably than ever before.
Everything we do is in service to travel professionals and their customers, in line with one of the core beliefs of our company:
"We believe that travel is not an off-the-shelf commodity, but rather a highly valuable experience made greater through the guidance and personal touch of a trained professional."
This, my friends, is a people company that is at its best serving other people companies. At the Travvy's, I got to see that up close and personal, but it's equally a pleasure working in that atmosphere each and every day.
