A Few Bumps in the Road?

Not Immediate for Travelers: Since it’s a trade event, the benefits might take a while to trickle down to folks booking their holidays.
So Much to See, So Little Time: Jampacked webinars can sometimes lead to information overload—for both agents and eager travelers listening in.
