This week, we got up close and personal with an MTA senior travel specialist. Well, as close as you can get to someone during a pandemic. So, really, we got 1.5 metres away and semi-personal.

This week, we quizzed an MTA travel advisor on how she’s been coping with the global pandemic. She got most of the answers right … we think.

By the looks of the accompanying photo, this MTA agent got a little outside help answering the interview questions we sent her. We won’t hold it against her though.

This multi-talented agent has switched from airlines to airwaves during COVID-19, creating and hosting a new travel podcast.

COVID-19 has been devastating for even the most experienced agents. But with the right support, resources and business model, you can take the edge off the pain and be ready for travel to return.

With the famil stopping in Amsterdam along the way, you’d hope this agent will remember to pack some extra-clear eye drops and plenty of snacks.

It’s finally Friday! Or, as we call it in the Travel Weekly office, Agent Wrap day. We also like to call it Wineday.

This week, Travel Weekly caught up with the lovely Cara Lovell from MTA, who has been busy cooking “far too many cakes and biscuits” and bingeing Ozark.

While this week’s Agent Wrap is a little short on content, it still packs a punch, so we’re calling it our fun-sized edition.

After a brief hiatus, Travel Weekly’s Agent Wrap is back and ready to boogie. And by boogie, we mean present you with the latest and greatest news from travel agencies across Australia.

This week, we interviewed MTA’s Sue Basedow to try and convince her to make us some of her famous rhubarb friands. Sadly, we were unsuccessful.
