As COVID-19 started to spread across the globe, many U.S. travelers who were overseas needed to return home. The situation was challenging and stressful, as it required travelers to navigate through unknown methods in order to get back as quickly and safely as possible.
This hit close to home for AAA Minneapolis, as we had many customers traveling overseas at the time. I am proud to say that our Travel Advisors worked diligently to communicate with airlines, hotels and other travel providers and ensure our international travelers returned home safely.
I have worked in the travel industry for many years and seen hundreds of ways that professional Travel Advisors add value to the vacation planning process. Over the last two months, however, is the finest example of how the travel agency industry has stepped in and supported travelers. First and foremost, Travel Advisors serve as advocates for travelers before, during and even after their trips. This was a tremendous benefit to our travelers who required professional expertise and assistance getting home. Travel Advisors can save you time and money, reduce travel-related stress and anxiety, and serve as someone to turn to when help is needed.
One of the best reasons to work with a professional Travel Advisor is that their expertise and knowledge often inspire your next vacation or adventure. Dreaming about and planning a trip is part of the fun, which is something that we could all use a bit of right now. If you’re interested in traveling later this year or perhaps next year and beyond, I encourage you to reach out to a AAA Travel Advisor. I have several destinations on my travel bucket list that I intend to visit. There is no commitment to start talking about your next trip, whenever that may be.

My best to you,
