Every year on the first Wednesday in May, we celebrate National Travel Advisor Day—a day dedicated to honoring the hard work, expertise, and passion of travel advisors across the country. But this day is more than just a moment to be recognized; it’s a reflection of the incredible impact travel advisors have on travelers’ lives and journeys.
A Little History Behind Travel Advisor Appreciation Day
National Travel Advisor Day was established by the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) as a way to recognize the pivotal role travel advisors play in the industry. Especially after the challenges the travel world faced in recent years, it became even clearer: travel advisors aren’t just planners—they are problem-solvers, advocates, and dream-builders. This day now serves as an annual reminder of the value a knowledgeable advisor brings to every trip, whether it’s a weekend getaway or the trip of a lifetime.
What Travel Advisor Appreciation Day Means to Emily's Travel
What Being a Travel Advisor Means to Us
At Emily’s Travel, being a travel advisor is more than just booking flights and hotels. It’s about creating memories, solving problems before they arise, and making the journey as seamless and special as the destination itself. We are incredibly grateful to do what we love: helping people see the world, connect with loved ones, and experience something new. The trust our clients place in us is something we cherish, and it inspires us to keep learning, growing, and delivering exceptional travel experiences.
Being a travel advisor means standing beside our clients through every step—from dreaming, to planning, to traveling, and sometimes even rerouting when life throws curveballs. It’s a responsibility we don’t take lightly, and one that fills us with pride every day. Every inquiry, every itinerary, and every story you share when you come home reminds us why we started—and why we can’t imagine doing anything else.
Our Appreciation for the Travel Advisor Community
Today and everyday we are especially grateful for the travel advisor community. Through this profession, we’ve found not just colleagues, but mentors, lifelong friendships, and an incredible support system.
Through our partnerships and affiliations—including our host agency network, preferred travel suppliers, and professional organizations—we’re able to stay connected to the very best in the travel industry. Attending events like national conferences, educational summits, and supplier showcases has kept us sharp, inspired, and ready to deliver even more value to our clients for over a decade.
Being part of such a strong, welcoming community reminds us daily that we are never alone in this journey—and we couldn’t be more thankful for the connections we’ve built along the way.
