Collette Legal Strategy Event Empowers Travel Advisors
Collette is making waves in the travel industry with an innovative initiative aimed at enhancing the legal knowledge of travel advisors. On May 12, 2026, at 12:00 p.m., Collette will host its ‘Selling Strategies: A Legal Checkup for Travel Advisors,’ a virtual event designed to navigate the complex legal risks inherent in the travel advisory sector. This comprehensive legal strategy workshop promises to equip advisors with effective tools to mitigate potential pitfalls, ensuring their businesses not only survive but thrive in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
The timing of this legal strategy workshop couldn’t be more crucial. Recent industry data shows that travel advisors face mounting challenges from regulatory changes, consumer protection laws, and evolving booking platform requirements. With the travel industry’s recovery continuing to present new legal complexities, advisors must stay informed about liability issues, contract negotiations, and client protection measures that directly impact their daily operations.
Expert-Led Training Addresses Critical Industry Challenges
Guided by Thomas Carpenter, Principal Attorney at Carpenter Law Group PC and Owner at Huckleberry Travel, the event will explore critical legal concerns faced by advisors today. Carpenter’s unique dual perspective from both the legal and travel industries offers invaluable insights that bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application. His extensive experience representing travel professionals provides attendees with real-world scenarios and proven solutions.
Specific topics include interpreting terms and conditions, managing chargebacks, preventing fraud, and integrating proactive legal routines into daily operations to safeguard against liability. The workshop will also cover emerging issues such as data privacy compliance, international travel regulations post-pandemic, and managing client expectations during uncertain times. Attendees will learn to identify red flags in supplier contracts and understand their responsibilities when booking complex international itineraries.
Emphasizing the company’s commitment, Christian Leibl-Cote, Executive Vice President of Global Sales at Collette, states, ‘Supporting travel advisors means helping them succeed in every aspect of their business, from strategy and growth to building confidence.’ The virtual workshop underscores Collette’s mission to provide practical solutions that advisors can implement immediately, reinforcing its relevance in today’s evolving marketplace.
