Travel Agent Chatter

Diving into the World of Travel Agents

Hopefully by now you know we doarticles with great resources, we have a robusttravel industry events calendar and have the largest directory on the web for the travel agency community. But have you discovered our podcast yet?

Now, I’ve gotten to know a lot of you through our articles on the site but honestly, don’t you wish we could just sit down and chat?! I sure do. Like, just do some . . . I dunno, Travel Agent Chatter or something?

It’s called… [drum roll] Travel Agent Chatter (TAC). Because you know us, we just like to chat away. 🙂

Every quarter we sit down and get to know travel advisors from all walks of life. We interview new travel travel agents, veteran agents, agents who book leisure, corporate, groups, you name it!

Each ~60 minute Travel Agent Chatter show dives into the world of travel advisors. Starting and growing their travel agency. Marketing. Successes. Bumps in the road. Booking tips. Tons-o-fun! Join us!

PS: If you subscribe to the podcast—which we hope you do!—know that the TAC podcast feed is also home to our weeklyFriday 15s episodes, where we answer the industry questions you’ve submitted for 15 minutes at 12pm CT every Friday.

What will i find on the tac episode pages?

Great question, you! Besides being able to listen to the shows, we also wanted every episode to have a home base where we could list resources, people could read the show, and we could put up pics of our lovely guests! Every Travel Agent Chatter episode page will contain:
  • Audio Player: If you’re in a hurry, you can even speed up the pace to 1x, 2x, or 3x speed so I sound like a chipmunk!
  • Travel Agent Chatter Show Notes: A list of links to all the resources we mention in the show.
  • Transcription: In case you just didn’t get enough listening to it.

Wait, i have an idea for tac!

Why, that’s convenient because we’d love to hear from you. We’re always looking for travel agents with unique stories/ideas and we’d love for you to reach out! You can send a note tohello@hostagencyreviews.com and we’ll be in touch

A little love, por favor?
