Last year was about conserving cash. The vast majority of the Travel Weekly 2021 Power List agencies saw their business plummet in high double-digits. Curbing spending and borrowing was what kept agencies alive.
But at long last, the phones are ringing. Cruise lines are sailing from U.S. ports, airlines are adding routes, shuttered hotels are reopening. The promised pent-up demand for travel is materializing, and, as expected, travel advisors are among the beneficiaries of a still-complex travel ecosystem.
Now that the travel floodgates are opening and business is returning in some cases, walking through the door unbidden is it time to build up cash reserves by both taking advantage of consumer demand and keeping the purse strings tight?
Last October, Keith Lane left Haltom City, where he had served 15 years as police chief, public safety director and city manager, to enter the unknown in New Braunfels.
Serving as New Braunfels interim police chief would give him the leg up on the competition seeking the permanent job â which turned out to be the right move.
Lane, 56, was among 62 applicants, eight semifinalists and four finalists hoping to become the cityâs next top cop. Months before he was selected and sworn into office, he already had begun putting his stamp on city police operations.
âItâs been crazy â Iâd like to describe it like drinking water through a fire hose,â Lane said about the last few months. âBut itâs been great. This is an exceptional police department full of exceptional individuals doing a great job. Theyâve been incredibly supportive.â
New Braunfels has a new police chief after city council members unanimously confirmed the appointment of Keith Lane to the post during its Monday meeting.
The selection of Lane, who had been serving in an interim capacity since late last year, comes following a nationwide search by the city, assisted by the Keller-based executive recruitment firm of Strategic Government Resources.
A field of 62 candidates from 15 states â including 35 from Texas â was narrowed down to four finalists who visited New Braunfels this week for in-person interviews and tours of the community and meetings with officers and employees at the police department, according to City Manager Robert Camareno.
