Today we’d like to introduce you to Tyra Bass.
Hi Tyra, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
In 2016 I planned a retreat for 35 individuals in Myrtle Beach, Florida. I was able to find the vacation house, arrange transportation from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach and plan the activities for each day. Following this retreat a few of them came back to me to help coordinate their own personal vacations; this sparked the beginning of my journey into the world of arranging travel for others.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The pandemic has definitely caused some bumps in the road. 2018 and 2019 were great years for me as a Travel Agent. In April of 2020, I spent most of the month canceling and rebooking cruises or land vacations. By July 2020, the phone stopped ringing completely unless it was client checking on the status of their refund from the airline company or cruise line.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
At BHE Elite travel is not only “booked” but your vacation is planned from pre-departure to arrival along with itinerary planning for each day. We are able to coordinate excursions, transportation and make reservations for dining to name a few.
What’s next?
My goal is to work as a Travel Agent on a full-time basis versus part-time. With the travel restrictions being lifted, I have started receiving calls again. I have trips planned for groups, individuals and couples over the next six months.
