Back in March 2020, many travellers who “did their own travel booking online” would have heard a message similar to this “Your call is important to us, all our representatives are currently assisting other customers. Your estimated wait time is two to three hours.” When they finally were able to speak to a live person, in many cases, they were not offered much help.
Did I have this message on my answer phone? NO – I was available 24/7
What the pandemic has taught us is that having a professional travel advisor help plan your trip has made my value more apparent.
I worked tirelessly around the clock to contact my customers, applied for refunds or credits for future travel and helped them rebook a future trip. I truly served as an advocate for them and did everything I could to help protect my customers travel investment.
It required long, tedious hours, and no earnings. It was the most challenging time of my career. No-one thought we would still be in this situation. But I must keep going. I love my job and cannot wait till I see people travel again to their dream destinations.
Who would have thought 11 months later, we would still be in a similar situation? However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. It will not be long before we can travel again.
