These are changed times. Our industry is taking a tremendous hit with consequences that could be lasting and, in some circumstances, perhaps permanently alter our approach to travel. But change can be both positive and negative and as we go together through these difficult weeks and months, Travel Industry Today is committed to keeping you informed and aware by providing you facts, analysis, insight and perspective.

It won’t be all ‘gloom and doom’ – we promise you that.

Of course, you will need information on coronavirus but we are also looking to a brighter future. And, we are gearing information to our consumer readers along with industry professionals, so feel free to share with friends or clients as a way of keeping in touch with them. We will always promote the use of travel professionals – and certainly that lesson has been made abundantly clear in the current crisis.

We thank you readers, for your continued readership and encouragement of Travel Industry Today, we appreciate your comments and feedback – even when you don’t agree. We thank all our advertisers for their confidence and support of this publication over the years. These are challenging times for us all and we appreciate difficult decisions must be made.

You will see some changes over the next few days and a leaner look to this publication, but it will continue to be informative, thought provoking and even perhaps occasionally annoying. But that’s also why you read us.

Thank you. Stay safe and wash your hands.
