His editorial story reads:
When his clientās ship was hit by a rogue wave in Argentina on its way to Antarctica, Tim Fomin, VP of sales at Club Cruise Travel & Entertainment sprang into action, rearranging plans, adjusting flight schedules and booking new accommodations. āI was directly involved in managing the aftermath of this rare occurrence, which added an extra layer of complexity to an already intricate trip,ā said Fomin. In the end, his client returned home with unforgettable memories, all while feeling safe and supported every step of the way.
Fortunately, his clientās experience is not a common occurrence, but it showed Fomin the importance of being prepared for the unexpected. His passion for creating unforgettable travel experiences has earned him numerous awards and accolades, including being recognized as the Top Cruise Sales Agent for five consecutive years. Several cruise lines have granted him prestigious awards as well. āCurrently, I am working on a new travel channel project as the host of a show called āThe Travel Agency Show,ā which is a dream come true for me,ā he said.
Fomin believes that being a travel advisor is an ideal and rewarding choice for many young people. āIn fact, with the rise of social media and online booking tools, there has never been a better time to leverage your tech-savvy skills and help others navigate the travel landscape. Plus, with the pandemic causing so much uncertainty, the role of a travel advisor has never been more important,ā he said. He added that social media often leads to referrals, which in turn leads to extra business.
It is important for Fomin to make recommendations to clients based on firsthand knowledge, so he travels when he can, and that includes a recent Greek islands excursion. His clients, most of whom are of retirement age, are seeking travel to Tahiti, the Caribbean Islands, the Bahamas, and the Mediterranean, and he is committed to helping them plan trips of a lifetime.
Amanda Huber, CEO of Club Cruise & Travel, said that Fomin shows exceptional promise. āHis passion for travel is contagious, and he has an innate ability to connect with clients and create bespoke travel experiences that exceed their expectations. What sets Tim apart is his commitment to excellence and his ability to handle complex travel itineraries with ease. I have no doubt that Tim Fomin will continue to excel and exceed in the travel industry,ā Huber said.
