The theme of TravelManagers conference was Connection. 💙💚💛
While there were plenty of highlights—industry exhibitions, inspiring speakers, a charity race around Hobart, and celebrations—the moment that stayed with me happened over breakfast.
Sitting alone one morning, the CEO noticed and asked if he could join me.
We talked a little about business, but more importantly about our families and why we do what we do. We spoke about the support within the TravelManagers network and the relationships that make this community and work so special.
It was a simple conversation, but it perfectly captured the conference theme.
In travel, connection isn't just about booking travel. It's about people. The relationships we build with our clients, our industry partners, and each other are what make memorable experiences possible.
I returned home feeling grateful, inspired, and reminded of why I love helping people explore the world.
