Goway Travel has introduced its new Travel Advisory Board, comprising a diverse group of experts from various sectors within the travel industry. This initiative aims to elevate the travel advisory experience and foster innovation in their offerings.
Board Composition and Meeting Structure
The Travel Advisory Board consists of members with varying levels of experience, ranging from newcomers to industry veterans. This eclectic mix includes representatives from firms such as BST Vacations, Vista Travel, and Cruise Planners. The board plans to convene twice a year to discuss critical issues affecting travel advisors and their clients.
During the inaugural meeting, members tackled several pressing topics, focusing on ways to eliminate barriers and streamline the experience for travel advisors. Key discussions centered around enhancements to service delivery and adapting products to better meet clients’ demands, as highlighted by board member Stanton-Defaria.
Addressing Emerging Trends in Travel
One significant takeaway from the meeting was the increasing interest in solo women travelers. With a noticeable rise in related Google searches, board members shared firsthand experiences about their clients’ needs in this niche market. Stanton-Defaria emphasized that the lack of tailored services for solo female travelers presents an opportunity for Goway to innovate, stating the need for a customized approach moving forward.
Embracing Technology and Service Excellence
While technology will play an integral role in Goway’s strategy over the next few years, the company’s commitment to exceptional service remains its core differentiator. The insights gathered from both the advisory board and the feedback from Goway’s expansive community of travel advisors will be pivotal in shaping the company’s future offerings.
Impact and Future Directions
The Travel Advisory Board aims to bridge the gap between travel advisors and client expectations, fostering a collaborative environment for ongoing innovation. Members of this board include industry notables such as Jason Hendrick from Ci Azumano Travel and Leila Lavaee from TTAND: Travel Design by Leila. Their diverse perspectives are expected to significantly influence Goway’s product development and strategic direction.
By prioritizing insights and collaboration, Goway Travel is poised not only to meet current market demands but also to lead the way in serving future travel trends. This initiative underscores Goway’s dedication to enhancing the client experience and overcoming challenges faced by travel advisors in an evolving industry landscape.
