This year, there is a lot to love and look forward to in the travel industry. Here is what the VAX team loves about working in the travel industry. Think of this as our love letter to travel.
“There are so many reasons that I love the travel industry, but there are two big ones. First, it’s just fun. Even when I’m behind a desk all day I get to look at beautiful pictures of destinations. It’s almost like I’m always planning my next vacation. Second, the people. The travel industry is a small world, all across the world. You’ll always have an unexpected connection with anyone you work with no matter where they are in the world.”
- Becky L., senior solutions consultant
“I love how fun and resilient the travel industry is. Even with all the stress we encountered with COVID-19, I still find myself daydreaming of my next trip as I know we will bounce back soon.”
- Kati K., product specialist
“I love the travel industry because nearly everyone you come across is so passionate about their role in the industry. Every day is different, but the one constant is the amazing people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting throughout my years in the industry.”
- Sarah K., director of VAX VacationAccess
“I love travel. I love meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds. It helps me to understand their perspective. I think travel makes the world a better place because it opens our eyes to things that are different. I love the travel industry because it makes that happen.”
- Joe S., VP of business development for Trisept Solutions
“I love working in the travel industry because I get to play a small part in helping travelers expand their world with new experiences.”
- Devin H., business solutions analyst
“I love this industry because it makes the world accessible. It exists to connect people and give us new experiences, knowledge and worldviews, and what could be more empowering than that?”
- Andrea S., managing editor of The Compass
“I love the travel industry for so many reasons! First, it gives me the opportunity to live through the excitement of new supplier offerings – Harry Potter, a new attraction, a new park opening, a new property, a new customer, etc. Second, it allows me to learn about and meet so many great people from many destinations (foreign and domestic) and ultimately become long-term friends. Third, it has given me the opportunity to work with a tremendous group of coworkers and leaders. My fourth and final reason is that no matter what you do throughout the workday, you always know you’re doing something to somehow influence someone’s upcoming vacation – it doesn’t get any better than that.”
- Sue U., senior account manager
“I love the travel industry because I love to travel and most everyone in it has the same passion and shares experiences that help to broaden the horizons of how and where we can go. Travel helps everyone to have more empathy and understanding of the world and its different cultures and perspectives.”
- Beth K., business development manager
“I have so many reasons to love the travel industry! First, I love to travel! For work or play, it doesn’t matter and the advantage of being in the industry opens more opportunity for that. Second, most people you work with in the industry are passionate about travel/fun/adventure and what is around the corner. Third and finally, I get to learn about other cultures by working with a variety of suppliers across the world.”
- Pam L., account manager
“I love the travel industry because every day, no matter what the task is, we’re contributing to connecting people to new places or old, familiar favorites. Either way, we’re helping make memories and stories that’ll last a lifetime.”
- Taylor C., associate editor of The Compass
