The New York Times recently published an article featuring Cruise Planners CEO and founder, Michelle Fee discussing “skip-gens,” a popular travel trend where grandparents take the grandchildren on vacation without the parents in tow. Michelle also noted cruise lines are expanding their travel services for families with special needs, such as Royal Caribbean International’s dedicated services for autistic children.
Cruise Planners is the go-to resource for what’s hot in travel for the industry’s leading publications. We’ve managed to do this because our Home Office Team develops research, training and resources for travel agents in mind, so they are well-equipped to make a profit as a Cruise Planners® travel agent. What can you expect as a Cruise Planners franchisee? One of the strengths of Our Home Office Team are our business development coaches who train and cheerlead for each agent. We are laser-focused on the success of our travel agents.
Not to mention, Cruise Planners® is led by experienced leaders who have built our business-in-a-box model – designed for people with limited travel industry experience – and are recognized for their commitment to innovation and raising the bar as leaders. We recently added, Scott Koepf, formerly of Avoya Travel, to our Cruise Planners executive team as Vice President of Strategic Development to further our commitment to agents as he will continue working on strengthening efforts to our training, travel agent certification requirementsfor independent travel agents.
The best is yet to come as the travel industry is always growing and evolving. As more and more cruise ships are entering uncharted waters and more people vacationing now than ever before, this is the opportune time to learn how to start a travel agency and become part of one of the most profitable franchises to date.
