If the year 2025 is a flying flight, it is fair to say that it was a bit turbulent. Things are changing, and they are changing quickly.
This is why we are gathering the leaders of travel, technology and media for travel skill at the next conference, which is held in Kerns. You can buy your tickets here.
Before the conference, we talked to one of our speakers – Cato Chairman and CEO of Bunnik Tours – Dennis Bunnik about what he is thinking about the highest trends that make up travel.
Why did you provide the destination training?
Training is the following natural development of Cato Academic tour. In addition to Cato Sector training units have been created Cato Tourist trips organizer can download their brand training. The addition of destination training units in partnership with various national and regional tourism offices Cato Academy Touring is the same central portal for all training on a tour.
The response of the agents was incredible with More than 1500 consultants complete more than 15,000 training units via the training portal (we now have more than 60 stereotypes directly until they complete the agents). About 860 graduated through the program and watch their tourism sales rise. As the declining pressure continues on the profits of the ambassadors, travel agents realize the huge gain capabilities of wild tours sales.
What is the largest lesson for 2025 so far?
Expect what is unexpected. The world changes quickly and now more than ever, travel agents need two suppliers and sources of reliable information. Cato Members have the deep relations within the country that are really calculated when things become difficult or things change at the last minute.
I recently spent 9 hours at Singapore Airport, how do you interact when traveling (inevitable) mistake?
While traveling is all about the good times behind the scenes, we all know the complexity of this industry. Throwing in external factors such as weather, volcanoes, geological policy, and it is not surprising that things sometimes do not plan. My point of view is always taking things in my step and taking advantage of things. Some of the best travel and experience stories have come out of things going well. It is all about seeing everything as an experience.
What is the next round that you are very excited now?
This week, I participate in encouraging travelers on Bunnik Tours through Slovenia with the Atia Christian Hunter chair. It is a beautiful part of the world that I love completely. In July, I spend a vacation in Mexico and Blaise to which I really look. In August, I visit Iceland for the first time, then in November, I will join many of us Cato Members of WTM in London.
