Welcome back to another episode of the TravelPulse Podcast!
This week I'm joined by Michael Consoli, a record-setting agency owner with Cruise Planners. Together we first discuss the latest trending news in travel, including TSA's new self-service screening system, supplier shutdowns, and more.
Later, Consoli shares his thoughts on where the cruise industry excels and where it needs improvement. Consoli had a record $40 million in sales in 2023, and he closes the show with his top advice for fellow travel advisors.
The discussion on the cruise industry begins after the 13-minute mark.
