Yelp Help: advertising my travel agent business

This month has been full of marketing efforts to promote my travel advising business and expanding my knowledge about cruising.

As an independent travel advisor with Fora Travel, I have a vast network of expert travel advisor to tap when needed. And Fora provides wonderful opportunities to meet suppliers and learn about destinations. Just this month, I was able to sail on the Scarlet Lady, hosted by Virgin Voyages. I have so much information to pass onto you over the next few weeks. Stay tuned for tips for traveling this new and exciting cruise line, which will welcome two new ships this year.

My other effort this month has been to increase my marketing efforts to reach more client and grow my business. I’ve started a Tik Tok account for higher visibility for my reels. I’m hoping this will bring in leads via e-mail with trip inquiries. And since there aren’t many local travel agents listed with a simple google search, I’ve engaged Yelp to market Turtle Shell Travel to those looking for traditional travel agency services – airfare, hotel, tours, cruises. I love working on all of these types of travel.

So, if you’re from Yelp – welcome! Send me an email at amy.barraclough@fora.travel or fill out my Fora profile inquiry form and we’ll start planning your next trip. Also looking for groups and businesses needing travel planning services. With summer coming, I have lots of time to turn those fall and winter plans into reality.

I started traveling at a young age, and now that I'm a parent, I'm sharing my love of travel with my kids. My favorite place to be is in an airplane or hotel.
