How Do I Sell Disney? Ins and Outs of Seller of Travel?

Author: Host Agency Reviews August 2, 2024 Duration: 19:03
In episode 167 Steph hosts an episode on Disney and Seller of Travel laws! Also Chad Burt of Outside Agents pops in for some greetings and feedback! 1. I am a new agent as of early spring 2024, so I am just getting my business known out into my community. I do live on a relatively small island in the PNW so I am excited to help facilitate tropical winter trips for the people who live here year round. I just signed on with the Chamber of Commerce so I am looking forward to getting more exposure in my community. Though I am excited to book tropical vacations, I am extra enthusiastic about booking Disney trips and specifically Disney World vacations since booking a trip can be complex with all of the various components. I love the parks and resorts and think I could be very helpful to potential clients but I am worried there aren't enough Disney goers in my local community. Do you all have any tips or suggestions for gathering Disney clients specifically? I do have a group set up on Facebook called "Tropical Getaways and Disney Days" but so far all members are family and friends. Thank you! —Shandra A. 2. Should I seek out a host agency if I live in WA state that adheres to WA seller of travel laws? ---Anonymous RESOURCES: https://hostagencyreviews.com/blog/travel-business-press-release-templates-and-guide (Press release templates and guide to writing!) https://hostagencyreviews.com/blog/best-disney-travel-agents-booking-secrets (Best Disney Travel Agents Share their Booking Secrets) https://hostagencyreviews.com/travelagentchatter/amy-garner-wicked-travel-concierage (TAC episode with Amy Garner who focuses on accessibility and Disney when she started) https://hostagencyreviews.com/travelagentchatter/vol-22-laurie-burg-cupcakes-castle-travel-company (TAC episode with Laurie Burg on how she systematized booking Disney) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn4S0mV4zMk&t=9850s (Host Week 2023 session on The Marketing Playbook with Erica Carr) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acWJe1gyY5U&t=18945s (Host Week 2023 session on 5 Steps to Building a Marketing Plan with Christine Hardenberger) https://hostagencyreviews.com/blog/the-100-travel-agency-marketing-plan ($100 Marketing Plan) https://www.youtube.com/live/b8PvbmxA35U?feature=shared&t=7421 (Host Week 2024 session on Reels Blueprint: Create 30 reels in 20 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/live/tT7cHbr_y-g?feature=shared&t=18225 (Host Week 2024 session Storytelling to Sell with Aubrey Jackson) https://sourceofsources.com/ (The new HARO!) https://hostagencyreviews.com/blog/travel-agent-license-seller-of-travel-license#WA (Details on Seller of Travel registration for Washington) https://hostagencyreviews.com/friday15 (Submit questions, sign up for reminders for the F15, along with that week's questions we'll be covering!)

Hosted by the team at Host Agency Reviews, this audio channel blends two distinct formats into one practical resource. The first is Travel Agent Chatter, a quarterly series of spotlight interviews that dive deep into the experiences of working travel advisors. These longer conversations explore the real stories behind the careers, covering the nuances of building a business, personal client triumphs, and the cultural insights gained from a life in travel. The companion series, Friday 15, operates on a completely different rhythm. Every week, a focused fifteen-minute episode tackles specific questions from the travel industry, offering direct advice and timely insights that are both concise and immediately useful. Together, this podcast creates a balanced mix of inspirational narrative and actionable strategy. Whether you're seeking motivation from peer journeys or need quick answers to pressing professional questions, the channel is designed to support the daily realities of travel entrepreneurs. It’s a resource that understands the industry's blend of passion and pragmatism, delivered through the authentic voices of those who are deeply embedded in this world. Tune in for thoughtful perspectives that are as varied and dynamic as the travel profession itself.
