Why We're Still Traveling
by JESSE ASHLOCK
March 4, 2020
In the midst of the coronavirus epidemic, the solution isn't avoiding trips—it's being smart about them.
Our primary mission at Condé Nast Traveler is to encourage people to travel more, because we believe that more travel makes the world a better place. A related mission, however, is that we want people to travel smarter, both so that they can get more out of their experience and so that the act of traveling can serve as a net positive for the places they go. When disaster strikes around the world, those two missions—to travel more and to travel smarter—can feel at odds with one another.
In fact, they rarely are. To choose a very recent example, during the height of the Australian bushfires, smart travelers recognized that this was not a time to avoid Australia but an opportunity to book a trip. Much of this vast country was unaffected and remained open for business, and because the fires had ravaged the tourism industry, an individual’s travel dollars were that much more meaningful to the local economy. In a place like Australia (or the Brazilian Amazon, where fires burned for much of last year) that has slashed its environmental funding, that money is critical for conservation programs. As an added benefit for the traveler, the crowds were thinner. If you’re still looking for a big trip to book in 2020, Australia is an excellent choice. The same goes for the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and other Caribbean countries affected by hurricanes in recent years.
The coronavirus is more complicated, because it’s ongoing, and we don’t yet know what’s going to happen next, or where. Travelers, like markets, aren’t big fans of uncertainty. Still, though, the same principles apply: Don’t avoid travel—be smart about how you travel. That means what it always means: traveling consciously, with awareness and respect for the place you’re visiting. In the case of this epidemic, it means taking State Department advisories and the advice of industry professionals seriously, and of course exercising the common sense precautions every major news outlet has been offering. It also means recognizing the valiant work the travel industry is doing to respond to the situation, from airlines relaxing their cancellation policies to cruise ships screening all passengers before boarding. We are all in this together—travelers and travel providers, Chinese and Iranians and Europeans and Americans—and recognizing our common interests as members of the global community is one of the pillars of being an astute traveler.
Coronavirus Travel: 10 Steps to Follow Before Rethinking Your Plans
Our readers—you—are, by definition, smart travelers. We’ve seen this borne out time and time again, most recently in a reader survey we just conducted which revealed that four out of five of you have trips planned in the next six months, and that only a tiny percentage of you have cancelled planned travel due to the coronavirus. The world is not off-limits; we all just need to understand where we’re going. To help you make those decisions as intelligently as possible, we pledge to continue covering the coronavirus as it relates to responsible travel, because we believe that informed travelers are better global citizens.
Even as the planet grows ever more interconnected, there’s been a movement in many parts of the world over the last few years away from the very idea of connectedness. Nobody would argue we’re not living in trying times, but our challenges are best faced collectively, and there’s no better tool for promoting human understanding and shared purpose than travel. Let’s not let Covid-19 drive us all further into our corners.

Updated on February 20, 2020: The Department of Homeland Security has made the decision to allow electronic submissions of the documents that are required to obtain a REAL ID, a positive step ahead of the deadline.

REAL-ID-feature

Airline travel can be stressful for new and experienced travelers alike. Perhaps the most important part of any trip is ensuring that appropriate documentation and identification is in hand. For domestic travel, this generally means a valid U.S. driver’s license, or state identification card, while passports are required for international travel.

Recently, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), an agency housed within the Department of Homeland Security, has been speaking to an issue relating to “REAL ID”. REAL ID represents the federal government’s attempt to create uniform minimum security standards for all U.S. driver’s licenses and identification cards in order to access Federal facilities, enter nuclear power plants, and board federally regulated commercial aircraft.

Creating these uniform standards is laudable and will ultimately make travelling throughout the U.S. safer. However, it is important that Americans are aware that their current form of identification, whether it is a driver’s license or state identification card, may not suffice to move through airport or other security settings, particularly with regard to traveling within the U.S. or elsewhere. The traveling public needs to be aware that updating travel documentation in the coming year will be necessary for those who are not already compliant. Otherwise, it is possible that come October 1, 2020 travelers could risk being turned away at the airport. To reaffirm, every American is currently required to possess a REAL ID compliant license or identification card by October 1, 2020 in order to, among other things, board a commercially regulated aircraft. Travelers without compliant identification could be turned away at the airport.

In the past, deadlines have been set on REAL ID compliance, and those deadlines have been kicked down the line. For the current deadline, recent reports indicate that this deadline of October 1, 2020 may hold. It is recommended that American travelers proactively check to see whether their identification is compliant to eliminate the possibility of added travel-related stress.

The good news is that anyone who holds a valid U.S. passport already has a REAL ID compliant form of identification. As of September 2019, 47 states, the District of Columbia, and three United States territories are compliant. Oregon, Oklahoma, and the Northern Mariana Islands are currently under an extension to update their licenses while New Jersey and American Samoa are under review. All states and territories are on track to be compliant before the October 1, 2020 deadline.

The bad news is that many of the states have only just begun issuing compliant licenses and state identification cards, meaning that many travelers may still hold a non-REAL ID compliant license. Therefore, it is imperative that all travelers visit their local Department of Motor Vehicles or utilize their state’s or territory’s online resources before the October 1, 2020 deadline to ensure that their travel driver’s license or identification card is compliant for domestic travel. Again, it is important to note that a valid passport is REAL ID compliant.

Unfortunately, not every state and territory have the same requirements for a REAL ID, meaning that the licenses or state identification cards will still not look completely uniform and the documents necessary to attain a REAL ID compliant license or identification card may vary. As mentioned previously, each traveler should visit their state’s or territory’s driver’s licensing agency website to find out exactly what documentation is required to obtain a REAL ID. At a minimum, travelers must provide documentation showing:

1) Full Legal Name;

2) Date of Birth;

3) Social Security Number;

4) Two Proofs of Address of Principal Residence; and

5) Lawful Status.

REAL ID compliant licenses and identification cards are identified by the presence of a star in the top right-hand corner of the card similar to the below:

USTOA urges individuals across America to ensure their identification is compliant and to take the appropriate steps to achieve compliance, if necessary. We strongly caution against reliance on the possibility of an extended deadline.

6 Great Tips For Traveling Alone
SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 / TAMARRA / 0 COMMENTS


Sometimes, you want to just take time for yourself. No, I’m not talking about curling up with a good book in front of the fire with the tap-tap-tap of raindrops on your windowsill to keep you company. I’m talking about taking an awesome vacation alone. It’s not common, but so very doable. It’ll take some courage, an open mind, and some great tips to make the idea a glorious reality. Here are 6 tips to make your trip a great and memorable one.

Do Research Ahead of Time
Taking the initiative to research your destination ahead of your trip can give you a heads-up about the best places to stay, great things to do in the area, and local restaurants. Getting the ins and outs of the locale will help you fill your days for maximum trip enjoyment and leave room for any impromptu plans. You can also discover ideas for destinations that are off the beaten path, giving you a truly unique experience. It’s also a good idea to know about transportation options, excursion prices, and schedules, as well as local medical facilities and pharmacies in case of an illness. Know before you go!

Do Something You Normally Wouldn’t Do with Others
Take this opportunity to try new things or experiences that wouldn’t normally fly with a group or your usual traveling companion. Spend the day at the museum or reading a great book at an out of the way café, absorbing the local feel. You could try new foods or spend as much time as you want shopping for the perfect souvenir, unhindered by a pre-set schedule. Take a slow stroll thru a lovely neighborhood and get acquainted with the locals. The beauty of it is, it’s all up to you!

Be Friendly, but Be Smart
While out on your vacation you’ll have opportunities to interact with all sorts of people, whether it be asking for directions or just chatting with the person behind you while waiting in line. Be smart and always keep in mind that you are just meeting this person for the first time and in an unfamiliar place. Only offer your first name while chatting and never reveal where you’re staying. You may get really friendly easily, but keep in mind there are con-artists preying on tourists, getting them comfortable enough to leave valuables unattended. Please don’t opt for the old, “Hey, can you watch my purse while I go to the bathroom?” It doesn’t matter if she looks like someone’s grandma. Keep your common sense and instincts sharp!

Stay Safe
You’ve heard the words “Safety First” since you were a kid, and that’s still true while you are out on your personal adventure. Your trip will be even more enjoyable if you keep certain things in mind and take some precautions for your own well-being. Going out at night? Consider taking a taxi instead of walking. You can ask the concierge or hotel clerk if the place you want to visit is safe. Think about leaving a note in your hotel room about where you’re going and when you expect to return. It’s also a great idea to leave a copy of your itinerary with family and friends. If you’re traveling internationally it might be a good idea to register with the local embassy.

Get Social
On your wonderful solo trip, you may want more than the occasional passerby interaction to counteract time to yourself. Consider staying at a place that encourages talking like a nice B&B where there are common rooms. Some even offer group breakfasts at a set time, encouraging conversation with your temporary neighbors in a casual setting on a regular. When visiting a restaurant, maybe sit at the bar next to someone instead of a private booth or table. You could come across someone interesting also looking for some social interaction with a story to tell. Maybe learn a few words in the local language. That could be an ice breaker in another country and your audience may appreciate it enough to try and communicate in your language.

Don’t Plan Your Trip Without Travel Protection
You may think that you don’t need travel protection when planning your trip. Think again! Travel protection is the ultimate safety net that could potentially protect your trip investment in all sorts of scenarios. Let’s say the airline loses your luggage or there’s a delay that forces you to miss your cruise connection. Travel Insured protection plans have benefits that may reimburse you for your losses. We also offer trip interruption and trip cancellation benefits, which can be very helpful in a bind. Heaven forbid you fall ill or have an accident on your international trip. A Travel Insured protection plan may offer emergency medical evacuation services, connect you with local doctors or hospitals, or even provide provisions to have a companion join you bedside at the hospital.

Here’s What You Need to Know About the Upcoming REAL ID Deadline:

Starting in October 2020, to travel domestically, every traveler will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or an approved ID card or passport. Photo: DHS

With the final deadline for the REAL ID Act coming up, travelers everywhere will soon be impacted by new rules for flying domestically at every airport in the U.S., as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will soon stop accepting standard driver’s license or ID cards at airport security checkpoints.

Here’s what travelers and advisors need to know about what the REAL ID Act will do and how they can get compliant before the final Oct. 21, 2020, deadline.

What is the REAL ID Act?
Among other things, the REAL ID Act, which was passed in May of 2005 after a recommendation from the 9/11 Commission, set requirements and standards for state driver’s licenses and ID cards to be accepted at federal facilities and at airport security checkpoints.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Act was aimed at improving the security of driver’s licenses in all 50 states. While previously it had been up to individual states to determine what the rules and criteria would be for issuing a driver’s license or an ID, the REAL ID Act would nationalize the rules and set a federal standard that states would be forced to meet.

After some delays, the DHS announced it would begin implementing the Act in four phases at the end of 2013, with the first three phases aimed at increasing security at facilities like DHS headquarters, nuclear power plants, and other federal facilities. The fourth phase of implementing the Act kicked off in 2016 and was aimed at air travel.

When will I be impacted?
The DHS originally planned on Jan. 22, 2018, as the deadline. The official rollout was then pushed back to Oct. 1, 2020, after some delays. Starting then, the DHS and TSA will only accept REAL ID-compliant IDs and licenses; otherwise, travelers will be required to have a passport when flying domestically.

How do I know if my state is compliant?
Right now, in total, there are seven states left to meet the requirements to be compliant with the REAL ID Act: Oregon, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maine, and Rhode Island. California is currently under review and is expected to be compliant by the end of May 2019.

Those non-compliant states are all currently operating with extensions, meaning that the current driver’s licenses and ID cards are still accepted at security checkpoints despite not being compliant with the Real ID Act. Pennsylvania and Kentucky have extensions until Aug. 1; while Maine, New Jersey, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island have extensions until Oct. 10.

The rest of the U.S. states are all currently compliant and are issuing REAL IDs. As long as a traveler has a license issued with the REAL ID requirements (usually designated by a star in the upper portion of the ID), he or she is able to travel domestically without a passport or another form of ID.

How do I get compliant?
Each state will have to follow the new federal requirements for issuing IDs. Travelers can check with their state’s DMV to understand exactly what they’ll need before heading to the DMV to get an updated license.

New York, for instance, began issuing REAL IDs in October 2017. The state now requires all travelers to get a REAL ID by going to the DMV with proof of ID, proof of social security number, date of birth, and U.S. citizenship, along with two different proofs of New York State residence.

What is the TSA doing?
The TSA most recently launched an awareness campaign to make sure everyone knows about the upcoming REAL ID deadline. Travelers will begin seeing new signs at airports nationwide in the coming weeks to remind them that REAL ID-compliant licenses or other acceptable forms of ID — such as a valid passport, federal government PIV card, or U.S. military ID — will be mandatory for air travel as of Oct. 1, 2020.

Adult passengers 18 and over must show valid identification at the airport checkpoint in order to travel.

10 Reasons You Should Use a Travel Agent in 2019
by Cheryl Rosen / January 18, 2019

Ten reasons 2019 be the Year of the Travel Agent. Photo: Shutterstock

This year promises to be a busy one for the travel industry, as record numbers of travelers take to the skies, the rivers and the seas. With more ships, more flights and less legroom than ever, Travel Market Report asked travel agents why they think a traveler should never travel without a professional travel advisor behind them. It’s a good list to share with your clients and prospects. Here’s what they said:
1. Travel is more complicated than ever.
With 24 new cruise ships coming online — never mind the new resorts and new airline fare categories — keeping with the options is a full-time job. And the growing trend toward groups of families and friends traveling together makes each trip a much more important purchase. Having a professional help with the planning and logistics can have a big impact on how much you spend on — and how much you enjoy — your vacation.
2. Travel advisors are on top of what’s new and exciting.
The world is full of once-in-a-lifetime experiences in 2019. If you’d like to see The Passion Play at Oberammergau, the Tokyo Summer Olympics, the 2020 World Expo in Dubai, the cricket World Cup in Australia or the inaugural sailing of Virgin Cruise, travel professionals have access to the best tour packages and exclusive events, and they understand how to navigate the logistics, said Ashley Metesh-McCoy.

3. They save you so much time and stress.
Sure, reading about places to go is fun — but planning a trip is hard work, and you never know what to believe. Travel agents travel the world, looking at everything, from the size of the rooms in hotels and cruise ships to the dining options on-site and nearby. If they haven't personally been where you want to go, they know someone who has. They can answer your questions quickly and correctly.
4. Travel advisors have your back when you need an advocate.
Blame global warming, acts of God or just the luck of the draw, but 2018 was a year of volcanoes erupting, earthquakes shaking and airlines failing, not to mention just plain bad weather, and 2019 promises to be the same. Whether the problem is getting there, getting in or getting out, your travel agent will get you where you want to go.
5. There is no do-over for a vacation gone wrong.
Life is busier and more demanding than ever, and vacation time is more valuable. Travel agents can save you hours, not just in doing research to find you the perfect vacation, but also just sitting on hold with short-staffed airlines and resorts to make your vacation perfect.
6. Travel advisors add a human element — and an element of trust.
Travel advisors are invested in their clients' happiness and satisfaction and want to make sure each and every trip is packed full of positive lifelong memories. They listen, suggest, adjust, understand and become a friend ... not just a search engine or an anonymous voice. They are with you before, during and after your trip.

7. The world is constantly changing, and travel agents are on the ground experiencing it.
Has the Caribbean recovered from Hurricane Maria? Is it safe to travel to the Middle East? Travel advisors don't just sell a destination. They discover, research and experience the places they offer, over and over.
8. They often save you money — and if not, they deliver more value.
Even if your travel agent charges a fee, the value you receive will be bigger than what you paid. Cruise lines and many resorts get the majority of their customers through travel agents — and they reward the best ones with perks to share with you.
9. Travel agents offer unique services for discerning clients.
It all comes down to who you know. And odds are, they know that guy or gal.
10. Like any professional advisors, they really do know more than you do.
You can cut your own hair and do your own taxes and perk your own coffee, but a professional can do it better. You can plan your own vacation, too. Good luck with that.
More thoughts from the field
We uncovered so much good information on this topic that we just had to share a few more comments with you.
David Liotta, of Flight Centre, offered a compelling insight: “Here’s the Starbucks Analogy. One of the most popular and successful companies in America makes and sells something that almost everyone is capable of making for themselves at home. But people want the experience of buying from Starbucks, which includes the atmosphere and the skills of the barista. Starbucks also creates specialized products and they are experts in putting them together. You can get all sorts of fancy, complex drinks you didn’t even think of before. Sure, you can make coffee at home, but how many of us would be able to create a complex concoction, and do it with the speed and consistency of a Starbucks barista? Because of all this, people readily pay more to buy from Starbucks, and no one would ever think of demanding that they price-match McDonalds coffee or complain to the barista that they could make the same thing themselves.”
The most common theme and benefit of using a travel agent, as it is reiterated in several of the items on our top 10 list above, is how they help consumers sort through the overwhelming amount of travel options available today. Tom Carr, of Preferred Vacations LLC, said: “The evolution of unbundled airfares will continue in 2019. Basic Economy and other ‘innovations’ pose great challenges for the uninformed traveler. When the rules change, agents are uniquely positioned to provide vital advice.”
In full agreement, Teri Hurley, of Endless Love Travel, said: “We have what do-it-yourselfers don’t, including ladders to climb and buttons to push. But most of all, we save people from themselves. Crowd-sourcing strangers on social media sites is a sure-fire recipe for trip disaster.”
Karen Quinn-Panzer, of Dream Vacations Quinn-Panzer Travel, said: “It’s a challenging cruise industry out there, and travel agents help people sort through all the cruise lines with dozens of cabin categories and multiple rate codes, refundable vs. non-refundable rates, guaranteed cabins vs. cabins with free perks. We help people find the best offer based on what’s most important to them.”
“Like an Alexa or Siri in the palm of your hand, I’m just a quick call, text, email or Facebook message away,” said Dillon Guyer, of Guyer Travel International.
Travel advisors can also be heroes for their clients. Mark Gelfand, general counsel at National Dental and a customer of Teri Axel at Herricks Travel, commented: “My travel agent can do anything, from a birthday celebration in Aruba for 120 people to an intimate getaway in Jamaica with my wife. I just love working with her because she takes on all the stress, and I just go and enjoy myself.”
Then, there’s the matter of sorting out travel challenges when a trip goes awry. A frequent traveler, JP Acco, described: “True story … After a 23-hour flight to Bangkok, the hotel front desk told us our reservation had been canceled. We said, ‘Here is the telephone number of our travel agent. Please call him and ask what happened to our reservation.’ Clerk came back 10 minutes later and said he had found it. In the past, we’ve booked with Expedia and Airbnb and have been disappointed, and had to fix problems ourselves. But that takes patience — and after a 23-hour flight, I have no patience. Get an agent, who needs that stress?”
A customer of travel advisor Sandy Farber said: “We just returned from a trip to Eastern Europe where we had a problem with one of the airlines, and Sandy had us booked on another flight before anyone else on the plane even knew there was a problem.”
In dealing with clients, travel agent John Sposato likes to add in some extras. He said: “I’m a believer in investing in my clients. I purchase things for them to help enhance their trip (a specific excursion, a goodie bag of maps and other items); I email checklists and other documents I have compiled over the years about things to do and top concerns.”
The depth of one agent’s passion for the industry and her clients is demonstrated in a comment from Suzanne Haire, of All Travel Company. She said: “Beyond the industry basics – the industry and product knowledge, time and cost savings, truthful and honest information and some upgraded perks, it really comes down to the fact that I run my business on a ‘Know me, like me, and trust me’ basis. Please DO friend me on Facebook. Please DO ask me questions or tell me things you just want to get off your mind. Please DO come to my Client Appreciation nights so we can say hello.”

Travel insights from the Jamaica Tourist Board
Why Choose Jamaica, Now More Than Ever
There’s no better time for your clients to visit Jamaica. It’s home to many world-class resorts and is easy to get to from the U.S. It’s easy to get around too, since English is the official language and American dollars are widely accepted. And the weather? It couldn’t be more perfect for a relaxing Caribbean vacation: hot and tropical all year round.

Every year, the vibe of Jamaica is getting stronger. In fact, Jamaica welcomed 2.3 million arrivals in 2017, a 7.8% increase from 2016 and December 2017 saw a record amount of visitors with 251,800, a 9.3 increase from December 2016.

So where are all these visitors choosing to stay when they come to Jamaica? Check out the numbers from December 2017:

Montego Bay – 33%
Ocho Rios – 21%
Negril – 18%
Kingston – 10%
Port Antonio, the South Coast Region and other parts – 18%
Here’s what to recommend in each of Jamaica’s popular destinations:

Montego Bay – Doctor’s Cave Beach
This is one of the most famous beaches in Jamaica. Visitors can rent snorkel and scuba gear to explore the translucent waters, then grab lunch in the food court afterward. The many amenities of the Doctor’s Cove Beach Club make it easy to spend a whole day at the beach!

Ocho Rios – Dunn’s River Falls
It may be a popular destination for travelers, but Dunn’s River Falls is really that amazing. Visitors can climb up the almost 600 feet of terraced waterfalls and slide down the smooth parts of the limestone rocks into the refreshing lagoons below.

Negril – Norman Manley Boulevard
Travelers looking for nightlife must head to Norman Manley Boulevard for night clubs, live music and dancing. It’s easy to find live music any night of the week, from live reggae on the beach to jazz and blues on a hotel patio.

Kingston – Hope Gardens
Jamaica’s capital and largest city is home to Hope Gardens, the largest botanical gardens in the Caribbean. It encompasses 200 acres and is famous for the many rare and unique species of tropical plants and trees that it houses. There are many regular events at the gardens like walking tours for bird watching and concerts in the amphitheater.

Other Parts – Treasure Beach
Named one of the 20 Best Beaches in the World in 2017 by Conde Nast Traveler, Treasure Beach on Jamaica’s south coast is an off-the-beaten-path destination with a laidback vibe and rich history. Six miles of sandy beaches with private coves and welcoming locals make this an ideal visit for travelers looking to experience authentic and charming Jamaica.

Jamaica’s tourism scene is booming, and they’re ready for that growth. Are your clients ready for the home of All Right?
