The pandemic caused a lot of problems for the world, but one thing it taught us is that life goes on and that a lot can get done from home! Remote work became the norm for millions of Americans during the worst of the pandemic, and many travel advisors became travel agents from home, helping their clients get from point A to point B safely and comfortably during a challenging time.
Work-from-home travel agents have been around for a while, helping people decide where to go, how to get there, and how long to stay. But the pandemic has underscored just how smart a move it can be to conduct business from home; more than that, many millions of remote workers are taking advantage of being able to work from any environment other than their office by booking “bleisure time” - combining business with pleasure and traveling to new and exciting locales in which to work for a while. This new freedom has added real energy to the already robust travel industry, making now the perfect time to become a travel host with Cruise Planners!
