Savvy industry folk are getting snapped up left, right and centre as companies race to rebuild their workforce ahead of the travel bounceback.

Tauck’s local customer service centre supervisor has been whipping out the cast iron pots and cooking up a South African storm over an open fire while in lockdown.

New country managers are the flavour of this week in the travel industry. Peruse all the latest hires here.

If your brain is as fuzzy as ours on this dreary Monday, this wholesaler wrap should whip you back into shape in no time. Or you can spend all day looking at the pictures, your choice.

On Wednesdays, we do the cruise wrap, then spend the rest of the day being very productive. Fine, we spend the rest of the day looking at 50-day cruise itineraries and daydreaming.

To celebrate that it’s stopped raining, we’ve pulled together the very best famil pics and agent incentives.

Today means two things, we spilt porridge all over ourselves at breakfast, and it’s time for the cruise wrap! And yes, both happen every Wednesday.

We love a midday Cruise Wrap, although it’s more of an early afternoon wrap because we were late and unorganised this morning.

Travel Weekly’s calling this Cruise Wrap “triumphant”, “a masterpiece” & “five stars”. Although we did nick it off the reviews for Dunkirk.

Tauck’s VP of Global Sales says discounting is bad for the industry. Travel Weekly thinks the lack of pens in the office is bad for the industry too.

It’s Hump Day today and we’re celebrating with this juicy cruise wrap. Best enjoyed with a side of freshly squeeze orange juice.

So many hot deals, fly free options and new product from the wholesalers this week.
