Today, we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and progress.

As we honor this day, we reflect on the importance of understanding our shared history and continuing to build communities where everyone feels valued, respected, and included.

🌈 Proud to Be

For Eric Jensen of Pocket Map Travel, Pride is rooted in gratitude.

When asked what Pride means to him, Eric shared that Pride is about being grateful for the people who made it possible—and who continue to make it possible—for him to be his authentic self.

As a travel advisor, that perspective extends to the experiences he helps create for his clients.

"In travel, Pride means helping create experiences where people feel safe, welcomed, and free to be themselves, wherever their journeys take them."

Thank you, Eric, for sharing your perspective and for helping create a more welcoming travel community.

The biggest misconception about being an independent travel advisor?

That you have to figure everything out on your own.

Building a successful travel business requires more than industry knowledge. It takes strong relationships, ongoing education, the right tools, and a community that understands the challenges and opportunities of this business.

The advisors who continue to grow are often the ones who keep learning, stay connected, and surround themselves with people who help them move forward.

What has made the biggest difference in your business?

Was it mentorship? Education? Supplier relationships? Technology? Community?
