MasterAdvisor 77: Tips for Making the Move to the Luxury Travel Segment

by Daniel McCarthy / September 29, 2023

There are so many opportunities in the luxury space for travel advisors, and you are the only thing standing in your way. Three extremely common mindset blocks plague travel advisors and prevents them from going after luxury clients and higher transaction sizes. Breaking down these mindset blocks is easier said than done, but what we can do is understand what they are, what causes them, and how we overcome them.

Vanessa McGovern, Co-Founder & Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Gifted Travel Network, is a “fierce advocate” for travel advisors, having served on the Board for the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) in the past among other advocacy roles in the industry to this day. She joined TMR for MasterAdvisor episode 77.
