A group of Florida agencies earlier this month connected the dots between client, agency, supplier and consortium at an in-person event, the As the World Reopens Travel Forum.
The event left clients with both a deeper appreciation of the impact of the pandemic on the travel industry and greater awareness of the role of travel advisors in the travel ecosystem, said Ange Wallace, CEO of Wallace Pierson Travel in Amelia Island, Fla.
Three Virtuoso agencies invited clients to join the forum, held at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes: Gerling Travel in Flagler Beach, Fla.; Wallace Pierson Travel; and St. Armand s Travel in Sarasota, Fla. The event was the brainchild of Gerling owner Mark Gerling and Tom Pfordresher, director of travel industry sales at the Ritz.
