Travel Advisors Day is celebrated on May 1st every year. It was first recognized in 2019 as a day to acknowledge the important role that travel advisors play in the travel industry. The day is sponsored by ASTA (American Society of Travel Advisors), and it's a great opportunity to show appreciation for travel advisors and the valuable services they provide.
Here are some key statistics that highlight the importance of Travel Advisors:
1. In 2019, ASTA reported that 74% of travelers prefer to work with a travel advisor when booking a trip.
2. According to a survey by MMGY Global, 51% of travelers rely on travel advisors for recommendations and advice when planning a trip.
3. The same survey found that 45% of travelers believe that travel advisors offer valuable expertise and knowledge that they can't find online.
To my fellow Travel Advisors, Happy Travel Advisors Day! If you're a traveler, consider showing your appreciation and love for your Travel Advisor today!
