Expert opinions on the best states for travel coordinators
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for travel coordinators to find work opportunities?
Diane Petras
CTIE, president, The Travel Institute

We conducted a survey in 2018 that analyzed the changing face of travel agents over the past decade and identified a seismic shift from travel agents working in an agency office location to working from home as a self-employed agent.
