Anna Shannon from Travel Agent Finder is a huge advocate for the travel agent sector and is strongly passionate about helping agents build their online profile. Through her platform, Travel Agent Finder, she offers travel agents the chance to have their very own ‘slice of online real-estate‘ to get noticed for their skillset and unique abilities that the consumers are drawn too.

<sub>Imagine this…

You’re scrolling social media and randomly stumble across a BRAND NEW industry event that promises to help you build an online presence for your travel business by utilising the power of brand design platforms mixed with social media strategies…

You click on it!

While browsing through the website, the guest speaker line-up looks a little unfamiliar.
I mean, there are incredible people from the industry on stage that you know, but some other faces you’ve never seen before – nor have you ever heard of.

But, wait! There is branding photographer is going to be there! And a travel industry mentor, mindset coach, copywriter, travel influencer, YouTuber, podcaster, brand design coach and even people from Canva presenting too!

**big love-heart eyes** 😍

You check the date – YESSS, it’s doable!

You see the price and think, WOW!  Do they have Chris Hemsworth coming to wave palm fronds and serve up margaritas while I listen to the speakers on stage or what?

You scroll back to the speaker line-up and consider whether there is another way to possibly get ALL of the SAME information you need and ‘save the money‘.

After doing a few mathematical equations, you quickly realise that investing in your travel business is super important but also remembering you like to get things for free (or at least at a really, really, really discounted rate!).

You begin to distantly remind yourself how tired you are.

You’ve been working 7 days a weeks for who knows how long and doing all the things for your clients who can’t remember the last time you left your desk to do something for you, let alone for your business.

Your heart skipping a beat and endorphins start flowing.

OKAY!

*pulls out credit card*

I’m in!

What comes next can only be expressed by the people who were present at the event. And me? Well, I haven’t yet found the words to describe the day.

But I do try in this recent podcast episode because the Travel Trend Summit was something I’ve never experienced in the travel industry before.

I am inviting you to re-live the experience with us by tuning into Episode #65 Travel Trend Summit Highlights and What’s Coming Next for the Industry featuring Anna Shannon from Travel Agent Finder

For those who have tuned into the episode so far have expressed that ‘Recapping the event of the year left me with goosebumps all over again‘ says Andrea Friend from Travel Managers, who has WON her way back to the Gold Coast in 2024 for the next Travel Trend Summit event.  Congrats to Andrea! 🎉

The Travel Trend Summit wouldn’t have happened without the support of our sponsors and people like Anna from Travel Agent Finder who got behind us from the get-go to help spread the word among her networks.</sub>
