TTAND partners with GIFTE

The Travel Agent Next Door is teaming up with the Global Institute for Travel Entrepreneurs, which will provide support, guidance and resources to new agents entering the travel industry.

TTAND agents will receive special access to GIFTE’s products and membership programs, which allow agents to explore innovative marketing techniques and tap into a supportive community of like-minded travel business owners.

According to a statement from TTAND, the partnership will help prepare newer agents to fill a looming gap in the industry, citing a report by The Travel Institute which found an estimated 80 per cent of travel agents in North America plan to retire in the next 10 years.
