TravelPulse Podcast: Hard Truths and Tough Choices for Travel Advisors

Welcome back to another episode of the TravelPulse Podcast!

This week, I'm joined by Jenn Lee, President of Vacation Planners, first to discuss the latest trending news in the travel industry, including Hurricane Debby's travel impact, the aftermath of the global IT outage that disrupted travel, and so much more. 

Later, Lee shares some hard truths for travel advisors and the tough choices they need to make. From charging fees to planning for the future and working with AI, Lee provides insights for travel advisors to improve. 

The discussion on hard truths for travel advisors begins around the 17-minute mark.
