Hey, travel advisors, have we told you we think you’re awesome lately? Today, and every day, the team behind VAX VacationAccess is so thankful to advisors for allowing us to do what we do and letting us be a little piece of the magic that enables you to make your clients’ vacation dreams come true. We think you’re amazing, and, this Travel Advisor Appreciation Month, we wanted to share some kind words to remind you you’re the beating heart of the travel industry and the apple of our eye, now and always!

“Travel advisors are invaluable because they drive the enhancements for VAX. Advisors willing to share constructive feedback and articulate the challenges they have in creating efficiencies or most effectively serving their travelers are the inspiration behind our improvements. We are so grateful to those who take the time and help us understand how we can support them best. Advisors are a creative and bright group of individuals that we want to empower to succeed.” Sarah Kneisler, Director for VAX VacationAccess

“Travel advisors help to provide the perfect vacation to generate memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s a destination experienced before, or something totally new — maybe a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — a travel advisor lends priceless expertise. They dig into details, make amazing recommendations and confidently send you on your way to experience the world. They make it easy.” Sue Ulickey, Senior Account Manager for Trisept Solutions

“Travel advisors are invaluable for many reasons, even in today’s age of AI and automation. Advisors provide an irreplaceable caring human touch to every itinerary they curate. They expertly anticipate their clients’ wants and needs, turning ordinary travel requests into unforgettable experiences. Professional advisors also often solve problems before clients ever realize a problem exists! The travel landscape is always evolving, which is another reason to trust a travel advisor. While the continual updates of travel requirements, regulations and policies can be mind-boggling for the average person, professional travel advisors prepare their clients and ensure a seamless experience. Today’s professional travel advisors are irreplaceable!” Carey Driscoll, Business Development Manager 

“Travel advisors are a whole vibe. They are one of the most fun, welcoming and supportive communities I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. They’re always willing to lend a helping hand to one another without passing judgment, and I envy their ‘I’ve got this’ attitude. Plus, they know how to have a good time!” Row Bailey, Marketing Coordinator for VAX VacationAccess

“Travel advisors are invaluable to the industry for a variety of reasons. Their scope of knowledge spans all different areas — they’re destination experts; they can list the comparisons and differences of 10 hotels in one place to help vacationers decide which one is the right fit; they can match clients with a cruise ship that checks all the boxes. They keep up with all the latest trends and new offerings. Advisors are the heart and soul of the travel industry, and I am so grateful to work with them here at VAX.” Codie Liermann, Managing Editor for VAX VacationAccess

“I love working with travel advisors because they make it easy. From being open and eager to learn — whether it's on topics like how to grow their business or keeping up with the latest travel trends — to their kindness and welcoming nature, advisors are a great group of people, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know them throughout the years. Similarly, advisors’ kind words surrounding The Compass and the content we feature online and in the magazine inspire me to be a better storyteller. They are at the heart of everything we do, and I appreciate having the opportunity to write for such an amazing audience about such an exciting industry.” Jenna Buege, Senior Editor for VAX VacationAccess

“Travel advisors are among the most supportive and hardworking professionals I know. They consistently go above and beyond, often outside of regular hours, because they truly care about their clients’ experiences. This isn’t a job for the faint of heart. It demands commitment, adaptability and genuine compassion.” Anna Maria Addesso, Vice President of Marketing, Trade Brands  

“Travel advisors play such an important role in creating the memories people treasure most. Your passion for what you do, your dedication to exceptional service, and the long hours you invest to make every trip special truly make a difference. Thank you for turning your clients’ vacation dreams into unforgettable experiences.” Pam Lowe, Senior Manager – Partnership Marketing for VAX VacationAccess

“Travel advisors bring unmatched energy, expertise and heart to every trip they help create. The travel industry wouldn’t be the same without their dedication. Travelers value the genuine human connection and lived experience travel advisors offer — something technology can’t replicate. Travel advisors create memories that last a lifetime and that is a really special thing.” Kati Kohler, Marketing Supervisor at VAX VacationAccess
