Sometimes, you just have to go for it.

Whether it’s for work, personal, business, leisure, whatever – you have to take the leap.

My daughter started Kindergarten this month (I know, the beginning of August is way too early, but I digress).

Truth be told, we were all a bit nervous. It’s a big step, our first child heading off to school. 

At this same time, our parent company Northstar Travel Group launched a new event – GTM Luxury.

The luxury travel sector has been booming the last few years, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. The global luxury travel market size was estimated at $1.48 trillion in 2024 and is projected to reach $2.36 trillion by 2030.

It’s also a market that so many travel advisors want to break into more. It was so great hearing from the attendees last week on how they got their start and how they keep growing.

Both of these recent life events for me served as great reminders that while you may not know what lies ahead, you have to dive in and take the leap.

So travel industry, what’s your next big step?
