With what appears to be the worst coronavirus crisis behind the US, travel agents are ready for a comeback, but they want to come back differently. They have spent the past 15 months reevaluating their business and work habits, considering things like productivity, service fees and more. This week, co-moderators Emma Weissmann and Jamie Biesiada are talking about this and more with industry coach Geraldine Ree.
